===Multiple Rates=at Agoda==Multiple rates Agoda can be created for each date, support more than one price per room for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.There are two options:
'''1. Derived (Child) Prices'''
Agoda can auto calculate child rates from one master rate we send. Ask your Agoda rep to set this up.
This option means you only need to send one rate from Beds24 to Agoda and Agoda will auto-calculate the other rate options.
'''2. Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''
Agoda can set up multiple rate plan ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate or offer to each Agoda rate. [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].If you do not have the appropriate rate plan ids you need to request Agoda to add them.

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 '''*''' 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.
'''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''== Maximum number accepted bookings ==By default all all available rooms are sent to activated channels. In SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->CHANNEL INVENTORY limit the number of accepted bookings for this channel.

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily Prices'''== Check Connection ==The connection is working if you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct. If you are receiving error messages check in the "Common Errors" section why you are receiving the error and how to fix it.
Beds24 supports up == Updates and Changes==Changes to four price "offers" availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for each room.Each example minimum stays, the multiplier or number of rooms will send with the four offers can be mapped to a different Agoda rate plan idnext update.This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices Click on "Update" if you want to Agodapush them through instantly.
To define == Manage Bookings=====Different Invoice Templates ===If you need a different invoice template for the Agoda rate plan id for each offer, separate bookings from this channel you can use the rate plan ids with colons[[Invoicees|invoicee]] function.For example the following Beds24 rate plan id setting will map offer 1 to rate plan id 11111, offer 2 to rate plan id 22222, offer 3 to rate plan id 33333 and offer 4 to rate plan id 44444:
'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''===Charge Virtual Credit Cards ===Virtual cards can be set to be auto charged at the date they become valid. To use this option set "Auto Process Virtual Cards" = Yes
If offer 1 is used only for Virtual cards can be set to be auto charged at the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for Agoda leave the first rate plan id blank and start with a colondate they become valid.For example ''':22222:33333:44444'''
The settings <div class="warning">{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} This option is available for daily prices allow each daily price row to customers who use [[Stripe|Stripe]]. If you set "Virtual Cards" = Yes without Stripe activated the system will create a pending payment which can not be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different Agoda rate plan idscollected.</div>
If you manually charge virtual credit cards please note that they can only be charged on the check-out date.
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''== Notes == If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple For dorms Agoda rate plan ids, the multiple rate plan ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example ''''12345678,123456789''' This can be used to allow expects only a daily single price set to "Do and not allow lower prices" to override multiple Agoda rate plan ids.If the comma separated rate plan ids 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 to it's rate plan id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate plan ids, over-riding the rate a double or room price when appropriate.
=== Price Multiplier ===If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by Channel collect payments will be shown in the multiplier number booking invoice if SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER -> “Import Channel Collect Payments” is set to your hotel Id. For example a property code setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456. == Notes ==or dorms Agoda expects only a single price and not a double or room price“Yes”.
