Limitations

Currently the channel manager can synchonise one contract only.

If your contract changes you will need to update Beds24 with the codes for your new contract.

You need

• Hotelbeds username
• Hotelbeds password

Hotelbeds

Send and email to [email protected]) with your Hotelbeds username which you are using to access the Hotelbeds extranet and ask them to connect with Beds24. Include following information in the email:

1. The URL where the reservations will be sent is: https://api.beds24.com/hotelbeds.com/booking

2. The email address where the reservations will be sent in case the Channel answers with NOT PROCESSED is: [email protected]

Hotelbeds will notify you when the BMS connection is ready.

Multiple contracts

Specify the first contract in the channel manager settings.

Daily prices and all rates in which you have not specified a contract will send to the first contract.

Activate

You can view the live availability and prices that will be sent to Hotelbeds before or after activating using the "View actual data" button.

When everything is correct tick "Inventory", "Prices" and "Bookings" to activate the connection.

Price Multiplier

If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because Hotelbds requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your Contract Name.

For example a Contract Name setting ABC*1.23 will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for Contract Name ABC. (i.e. raised by 23%) Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. ABC*0.85 will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)
