Prices
- We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to set prices for channels.
- Tiket supports two pricing models:
- If your pricing model is Per Day you will need a price for the maximum room occupancy. Example: If maximum number of guests is 4 you need a ROOM price for four guests. Prices for 1, 2 or 3 guests are not sent. If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send.
- If your pricing model is Per Occupancy Pricing a price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 can be sent. If you use daily prices they daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send. If you use Fixed Prices 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple rates with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Prices can not be sent.
Bookings
New Bookings are imported.
Existing bookings are not automatically imported when the connection is established and should be entered into Beds24 manually.
Extras and Taxes
"Upsell Items" can not be exported.
Rooms and room types
If you have room types here and sell rooms individually at another channel or your own web site and want to sell them here as a "roomtype" with a quantity of more than one you can set up virtual roooms.
5 Set Up
Step 1: Have your Tiket account connected to Beds24
- Contact [email protected] and request connectivity with Beds24 channel manager. Include your Tiket ID and property name in the email.

Step 3: Add a price multiplier (optional)
You can add a multiplier to your prices, add a * followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field
Examples:

- Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: *0.85 will send 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
- To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a * AFTER the multiplier. 123456*1.23* will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.

6 Multiple Rates at Tiket
Tiket can support more than one price per room for example to send prices for different minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices. Tiket can set up multiple rate plan ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate or offer to each Tiket rate. Please use these instructions. If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Tiket to add them.
7 Charge virtual credit cards
Virtual cards can be set to be auto charged at the date they become valid. To use this option set "Auto Process Virtual Cards" = Yes
Virtual cards will become valid on the booking's check-in date, and will remain valid for 60 days after the check-in date.
A payment rule can be specified to be attached to the pending payment, the payment rule can further manage the conditions to collect the payment, for example it could specify to use virtual cards only and not a guest card.
You can set to adjust the charge automatically to the amount on the card. To do so create a rule with these settings:
- Funds Source: Virtual Card
- Payment value adjustment = choose any except for "None"
If you manually charge virtual credit cards please note that they can only be charged after the activation date.
