Rate Strategy:
==== Multiple rate codes using offers ====
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> This method is obsolete. Use the method described under "Multiple rate codes using Daily Prices"
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room. Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different channel rate code.
To define the channel rate code for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons. For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:
11111:22222:33333:4444
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for the channel leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon. For example :22222:33333:44444
The settings for Daily Prices allow each Daily Price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different rate codes.
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple rate codes at a channel, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example 12345678,123456789
This can be used to allow a Daily Price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple rate codes at ta channel. If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific channel rate code, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and Daily Prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.

== Mapping channel rate codes ==
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> If a channel rate code is entered directly in a Daily Price or a RateFixed Prices, it will be used with that price. If the rate code field is left empty in the Daily Price or Rate, the rate code entered in the Channel Manager settings for the channel will be used, in this case the offer number of the Daily Price or Rate Fixed Prices determines which rate code will be used.
