= Before =Prices for Booking.com==Our connection with Booking.com supports '''Occupancy Pricing (OBP)''' so Beds24 can send a price for each occupancy defined in your prices in Beds24. We will automatically set all newly connected properties to "Occupancy Pricing (OBP)" which also allows you to just send one price per day for the full occupancy. *If you use Daily Prices, a price for each date and occupancy will be sent. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price in the daily price will send. [[:Category:Daily_Prices|See this tutorial on how to use daily prices]].*If you Connect use Fixed Prices, 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. The room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple fixed prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. <span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Prices can not be sent. *If you currently use '''PricesRLO (derived) prices'''for different occupancies on Booking.com:*#If you want to keep RLO pricing, the Beds24 prices you want to send to Booking.com need to to be the right price for "base number of guests" in Booking.com so Booking.com can calculate correctly.*#If you want to send prices for different occupancies from Beds24, contact Booking.com and ask them to remove all linked prices. Then change your pricing model in Beds24 to "Occupancy Pricing".
When the connection is activated Booking.com will remove all price and availability details on the Booking.com extranet and replace them with the data sent from Beds24.
