Specify the first contract in the channel manager settings. Make sure "Hotelbeds" is ticked in the "Channels" tab of all rates you want to send to this contract. Multiple contracts require rates to be defined for each contract.
Open the rates or daily prices you want to send to the second contract.
- In rates go to the "Channels" tab. Tick "Hotelbeds" and enter the contract name and sequence for this contract separated by the / symbol.
- Tick "Hotelbeds" and enter the contract name and sequence for this contract separated by the / symbol under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES- >ROOMS- >DAILY PRICES then click on "Edit")
Example: NRF-BAR/45678
If the office code for the contract is different to that set in the channel manager settings, it can be specified as a third item in the rate setting.
Example: NRF-BAR/45678/164
Daily prices and all rates in which you have not specified a contract will send only to the first contract.
10 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.
11 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%)
To convert the price of bookings imported add a * after the multiplier, for example 12345678*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.
For example *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
