*Use this [https://www.tripadvisor.com/RentalInsights/get-started#list form] if you do not have an account with Tripadvisor.
Activation is per Beds24 account. All properties owned by a Beds24 account can be connected. If you have properties in a sub acccount which need to be connected go to click on the 'User' icon on the top right and then on 'Account Management (in the old control panel SUB ACCOUNT -> in the top right) Manage Account -> Manage Property > Channel Managment Management > "Tripadvisor Rentals XML Connect via Account". With this setting, you can select that the property connects to Tripadvisor Rentals via a different account than the one it is in.
==== Map existing listings====
*Click on "View Listings in Account". You will see a list if of your TripadvisorRentals listings with their listing IDs. Tripadvisor will also send deleted listings to Beds24. Make sure you ignore them.
*When you click on "view data from channel" you will see the content TripadvisorRentals returns for the listing.
*Select the corresponding room in Beds24 and click "Connect".
Tripadvisor rentals do not support decimal places on prices.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Note: Due to a bug in the Tripadvisor system you will need to first set guests included to blank and the additional price to zero then click publish or update. Once you see no errors, add the additional guest info back in and update again.

=== Price Multiplier===
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your hotel id.
The multiplier applies to all prices and fees which are sent.
For example a hotel id setting '''123456*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for hotel id 123456. (i.e. raised by 23%).Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''123456*0.85''' will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)
To convert the price of bookings imported add a * after the multiplier, for example '''123456*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
Tripadvisor does not allow Email addresses or contact information in descriptive texts.
