When the connection is activated Booking.com will remove all price and availability details on the Booking.com extranet and replace them with the data sent from Beds24. Therefore prices and availability of all rooms must be set up in Beds24 before connecting. *We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to Learn [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels:Category:Channel Manager|set prices for channelshow the channel manager works]].*Booking.com needs a room price for the maximum number of guest. *If you want to send a single price and a room price you need to ask Booking.com to activate the single price option for you.*Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be exported to Booking.com. If you need prices for more occupancy levels talk to Booking.com about derived rates or additional rate codes (see chapter "Multiple Rates" further down).
'''Extras and Taxes'''If you want to export inventory (availability) Booking.com demands prices to be sent from Beds24 so you will not be able to set prices the Booking.com extranet after the connection has been enabled.
If required ==Capabilities and Limitations=='''With this connection you can enter extras :'''*send prices and fees availability **send multiple prices**add a multiplier to mark prices up or down**create Booking.com rate plans if you want to add additional pricing options*send restrictions**send minimum stay**send maximum stay**send closed to arrival and closed to departure*import and manage bookings**import new bookings, modifications to bookings and cancellations (importing modifications or cancellations can directly in be disabled for individual bookings)**report no-shows date changes and guest misconduct to Booking.com**report invalid cards to Booking.com.

Upcoming bookings can be imported==Prices for Booking. com==Our connection with Booking.com supports '''Occupancy Pricing (OBP)''' so Beds24 can send a price for each occupancy defined in your prices in Beds24. We will only automatically set all newly connected properties to "Occupancy Pricing (OBP)" which also allows you to just send one price per day for the full occupancy. *If you use Daily Prices, a summary price for each date and occupancy will be sent. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price in the daily price will send. [[:Category:Daily_Prices|See this tutorial on how to use daily prices]].*If you use Fixed Prices, 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. The room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple fixed prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. <span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the bookingFixed Prices can not be sent. *If you currently use '''RLO (derived) prices''' for different occupancies on Booking.com:*#If you want to keep RLO pricing, not the full informationBeds24 prices you want to send to Booking.

'''2Bookings with payments collected by Booking.com will show the payment amount collected as a payment in the "Invoice" tab of the booking. Multiple Rate Ids'''
Booking.com can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can send a different price to each Booking.com rate ID. [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].'''Charge virtual cards automatically'''

==Price Multiplier==If For Booking.com virtual cards you want can set to add a multiplier adjust the charge automatically to your prices, for example because the channel requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add full amount available on the card at the time it is charged. To do so create a '''*''' followed by rule with these settings and specify it in the multiplier number to your hotel idbooking.com "Virtual Card Payment Rule" setting:*Funds Source: Virtual Card*Payment value adjustment = choose any except for "None"
