Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Agoda rate plan id.This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Agoda.Map Rates:

The settings for daily <span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which prices allow each daily price row to and availability will send. Prices that had already been set in HRS be overridden but cannot be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different Agoda rate plan idsremoved. If no prices have are sent from Beds24, no availability is sent, but the which originally was in HRS is displayed.
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple Agoda rate plan ids, the multiple rate plan ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example ''''12345678,1234567892. Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''
This Agoda can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override up multiple Agoda rate plan ids.If the comma separated rate plan ids are defined in the channel manager rate plan id setting and for each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Agoda rate plan idroom, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate will be mapped or offer to it's each Agoda rate plan id and daily prices will be mapped to all . [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].If you do not have the specified appropriate rate plan ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriateyou 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, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a '''* ''' followed by the multiplier number to your hotel Id.in the "Multiplier" field
For example a property code setting 123456Examples:*'''*121.34 23''' will multiply all prices by 121.23 (i.e. raised by 23%).34 *Lower prices can be sent for hotel id 123456with 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. '''*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.**'''*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.

Any errors occuring during updates will be emailed to you with the error message as returned by Agoda. Below are common error messages and how to fix them.
'''Authentication failed. Invalid authentication /Invalid Property id or User not have permission to access Hotel.'''
Please check if your codes are entered correctly. If they are please contact Agoda and ask them to check if you are connected to the Beds24.com channel manager.
'''Please set extrabed rate'''
Agoda expects a price for an extra bed. Please log into your Agoda account and set the extrabed price there.
'''Property id: 00000 has not been migrated yet'''
You need to complete your profile creation and self self activation in the Agoda extranet before you map your rooms and rates.
'''Rate: for ratePlanId: 123456 which is out of stay start/end period: (201X-XX-XX/201X-XX-XX) has not been set'''
The rate has a start and/or end date in Agoda. Prices sent for any dates outside this range will cause this error. Either adjust your prices in Beds24 or in Agoda.
'''Invalid room type please check your room type ID'''
Please check your room type ids are correct and the connection is enabled.
'''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'''
Agoda have the room set for a maximum of two people but Beds24 is sending a room price for more guests. Either set the max people for the room to two in Beds24 or have Agoda raise it to the same value as Beds24.
'''Cannot set Occupancy X rate because Max occupancy is Y '''
Agoda must have the room set for Y but Beds24 is sending a room price for more guests. Either reduce the occupancy level in Beds24 or have Agoda set the room for a higher occupancy.
'''Default rate: xxxx should be between xx and xxxx'''
Agoda expects the price to be within this range. Either correct the prices in Beds24 or remove the restriction from Agoda.
'''Please set full occupancy rate.'''
A full occupancy rate is a price for 3 or more guests. Double rooms do not use full occupancy rates. Agoda expects the room to hold 3 or more guests and is expecting a price for 3 or more people. A common cause it that you have set the room for an occupancy of 2 in Beds24 but for a higher occupancy in Agoda.
'''Price provided not sufficient for Max occupancy = X, rate missing: Full rate'''
Agoda expects the room to hold up to X guests and is expecting a price for up to X guests. Check that you have a price for the full occupancy. Another common cause it that you have set the room for a certain occupancy in Beds24 but for a higher occupancy in Agoda.
'''Full Rate should be greater than Double Rate'''
'''Rate x00.00 cannot less than Minimum Rate xxx.00.'''
Agoda has set a minimum price limit for this rate. Either ask Agoda to lower the limit or raise the price in Beds24 to be at least as high as the limit.
'''Rate x00.00 should be between xxx.00.
Agoda has set a price limit for this rate. Either ask Agoda to change or remove the limit or change the price in Beds24 to be between the prices shown by Agoda.
'''Max extrabed has not been set, You cannot set the extrabed rate.'''
You do not have an extrabed option in Agoda. Either remove the extrabed price in Beds24 or change your set up in Agoda.
'''Rate plan: 0 does not exist for Property id: 00000'''
You are trying to update a code which is not a valid Agoda rate plan. You can only update rate plans which are available when you click on "Get Codes".
You have added a number which is not a valid Agoda rate id into the field in the "Channels" tab of a rate/daily price.
*Scroll to Rate id and click 'get codes' ensure you select a valid code from the list.
*Open your rates (Channel Tab) and make sure the correct Agoda rate id is selected from the 'get codes' list.
*Open your daily prices (Enable list) and make sure the correct Agoda rate id is selected from the 'get codes' list.
'''Requested currency: XXX does not match with Property currency: YYY '''
Check the Currency code entered in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES -> DESCRIPTION -> CURRENCY CODE matches that entered in SETTINGS -> CHANNEL MANAGER -> AGODA.com -> CURRENCY.
==Disconnect==
*Unticking "Inventory" and "Prices" and "Bookings" will stop the synchronisation for a room.
*To completely disconnect the channel manager you might need to contact Agoda and ask them to disconnect you.
