If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Agoda to add them.
== Price Multiplier ==If you want to mark your prices up or down or need currency conversion you can add a multiplier to your prices, add a '''Same Price to Multiple Rate Plan Ids*'''followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field
If Examples:*'''*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%).*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 Beds24 '''*''' AFTER the multiplier. '''*1.23*''' will divide the price should be sent to multiple Agoda rate plan ids, of the booking by 1.23.*For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the multiple rate plan ids booking page currency selector can be entered with a comma separating themused. For example **''''12345678,123456789*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]'''will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Agoda rate plan ids.== Maximum number accepted bookings ==If the comma separated rate plan ids By default all all available rooms are defined in the channel manager rate plan id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Agoda rate plan id, each rate will be mapped sent to it's rate plan id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate plan ids, overactivated channels.

'''Room: 00000000 does not exist for Property id: 00000'''
You are trying to update a room code which is not a valid Agoda room code. You can only update room codes which are available when you click on "Get Codes".
 
'''Cannot set Double rate because max occupancy is 1'''
Agoda must have the room set for single occupancy only and we are sending a double price. Either remove the double price or have Agoda set the room for a higher occupancy.
'''Cannot set double rate when maximum occupancy less than 2 '''
'''Cannot set full rate when maximum occupancy less than 3'''
Agoda must have the room set for double occupancy but Beds24 is sending a room price for more guests. Either set a double price in Beds24 remove the room prices or have Agoda set the room for a higher occupancy.
 
'''Cannot set full rate because max occupancy is 2'''
