This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]]. Our connection with Booking.com supports these pricing models: 1. '''Per Occupancy Pricing (OBP)''Limitations:' RECOMMENDED - If your Booking.com Rate Type is Per Occupancy Pricing a price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 can be sent. Set the Booking.com Rate Type to '''Occupancy'''. *If you use daily prices the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send.*If you use rates 1 person, 2 person Extras taxes and room price fees will not automatically sendor update. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple rates with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set Set/change these in the "Discounts" tab of the rate can not be sent.  2. '''Per Day Pricing (Standard)''' - If your Booking.com Rate Type is "Per Day Pricing / Standard" Extranet unless you will need a price for the maximum room occupancy. *If maximum number of guests is 4 you need a ROOM price for four guests. Prices for 1, 2 or 3 guests are not sent. *If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices want to manage your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send. The price for the extra person will not send. *If you have multiple prices for one rate code which are activated for Booking.com the system will use the price for the highest occupancy. *If you want to send an additional "Single" price Booking.com needs to activate the single price option. After this is done you can set the Booking.com Rate Type to '''Per Day Pricing + Single'''.  3. '''Derived Prices (RLO)''' - If Booking.com has set up derived (RLO) prices for you where Booking.com calculates prices for different occupancies from the standard price sent from Beds24 set the Booking.com Rate Type to '''Per Day Pricing'''. <span style=color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> With derived (RLO) prices Booking.com do not allow you to send a single price. We recommend you use "Per Occupancy Pricing" instead so you can control all prices content from Beds24.  *If you want to offer multiple price options for example a non-refundable rate or your rate plan contains meals you can create additional rate plans in [[Booking.com:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]]. For '''dorms''' Booking.com requires the bed price be sent to them as the room price. Therefore they do not accept a single price for a dorm. Make sure you set "Booking.com Rate Type"= Per Day Pricing. If you want to send a single price for other rooms you can create additional rate plans for single use in [[Booking.com:_Create_Booking.com_Rate_Plans_in_Beds24|SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->BOOKING.COM->MANAGE RATE PLANS]]. <span style=color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Booking.com does not support occupancy pricing for dorms.

If required you can enter extras and fees directly in Booking.com. If you have set up additional taxes in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > UPSELL ITEMS that have the exact same name as your additional taxes in Booking.com, they can be imported as taxes during the booking import.  Booking.com does not send a tax rate for extras. Therefore, for extras, the VAT rate of the accommodation is applied by default. If an extra (e.g. breakfast) has a different tax rate, this vat rate can only be applied to imported bookings, if you have an extra with the exact same wording in {{{#fas:cog}}. (CONFIGURATION) ACCOMMODATIONS > UPSELLING. If you want to access credit card details through Beds24 ask Booking.com to only accept bookings with credit card details and always send all details to Beds24.  ==Make sure your rooms and room types in Beds24 match your set up in Booking.com==If you sell rooms individually at another channel or your own web site and want to sell them on Booking.com as a "roomtypeRequests" with a quantity of more than one you can [[Combine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype|set up virtual rooms]]. ==Disable the auto-replenishment of closed rooms in Booking.com==Beds24 will automatically reopen rooms when you have availability.
