| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Set "Booking Price Import" to either import the room price only or the room price plus unpaid extras (cleaning charges, local taxes etc.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Some Booking.com rate ids can accept a room price plus a single occupancy price on the same rate id. If you have this rate type and want to send the single occupancy price set "Booking.com Rate Type " = "Full + Single". If you do not have this rate type or you are not sure set "Booking.com Rate Type "= "One Price "

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Multiple Rates==
| |
| − | Multiple rates can be created for each date, for example to send prices for different occupancies, minimum stays, meal options or refundable and non-refundable prices.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''1. Derived Prices'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Booking.com can auto calculate different occupancies from one standard rate. Ask your Booking.com rep to set this up.
| |
| − | This option means you only need to send one rate from Beds24 to Booking.com and Booking.com will auto-calculate the other rate options.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''2. Multiple Rate Ids'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Booking.com can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate or offer to each Booking.com rate id.
| |
| − | If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Booking.com to add them. Once you have them you can set corresponding rates in Beds24 and map them to these codes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Click on the "Get the Booking.com Room and Rate Codes for this Property Code" link to view all mapping codes for this property.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any valid Booking.com rate id. On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter a Booking.com rate id
| |
| − | If this setting is left blank, the rate id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for Booking.com will be used.
| |
| − | If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative Booking.com rate id, enter the Booking.com rate id here.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:bookingcomrate.png|350px|link=]]
| |
| − | [[Media:bookingcomrate.png|view large]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | If you have linked a rate to be used for other offers or rooms use the selector to choose the room you want to map.

| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily Prices'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.
| |
| − | Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Booking.com rate id.
| |
| − | This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Booking.com.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To define the Booking.com rate id for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons.
| |
| − | For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''11111:22222:33333:4444'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for Booking.com leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon.
| |
| − | For example ''':22222:33333:44444'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | The settings for daily prices allow each daily price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different Booking.com rate ids
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | '''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple booking.com rate ids, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them.
| |
| − | For example '''12345678,123456789'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Booking.com rate ids.
| |
| − | If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific Booking.com rate id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Price Multiplier==
| |
| − | If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because booking.com requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your hotel id.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example a hotel id setting '''123456*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for hotel id 123456. (i.e. raised by 23%)
| |
| − | Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''123456*0.85''' will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Activating==
| |
| − | You can view the live availability and prices that will be sent to Booking.com before or after activating using the "View actual data" button.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:booking13.png|350px|link=]]
| |
| − | [[Media:booking13.png|view large]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 1) Import existing bookings from Booking.com
| |
| − | | |
| − | Make sure the "Bookings" check box for each mapped room is ticked and saved and then click the "Import existing bookings" button.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:booking15.png|350px|link=]]
| |
| − | [[Media:booking15.png|view large]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | If for any reason your existing bookings do not import, the dates could be reopened and resold. To prevent this import the bookings via CSV.
| |
| − | | |
| − | a. Export your bookings as CSV from booking.com
| |
| − | b. Go to https://api.beds24.com/csv/putbookingcomcsv.php and import the csv file to Beds24.
| |
| − | Follow the instructions on the page carefully so they import to the correct rooms.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If this is also unsuccessful, block the booked dates in the beds24 calendar. Please note that in this case cancellations and modifications will not be imported automatically.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Make sure your inventory is correct in Beds24. Check existing bookings in Booking.com imported and dates blocked by other sources are blocked in Beds24. Dates can be blocked by either entering a booking manually into Beds24 for those dates or using the inventory and override functions on the control panel calendar for those dates. Failure to do this could allow new bookings on dates you are not available. All available dates in Beds24 will be sent to Booking.com as available for new bookings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:Booking_com_12.png|350px|link=]]
| |
| − | [[Media:Booking_com_12.png|view large]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Enable the connection in Beds24 by ticking "Inventory and Rates" for each mapped room and saving. The "Bookings" checkbox should already be ticked but tick it as well if it is not ticked and bookings should be imported.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:bookingcomactivate.png|350px|link=]]
| |
| − | [[Media:bookingcmactivate.png|view large]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 4) When all the set up in Beds24 is correct you can make the final step to enable the connection (go live) from the Booking.com extranet.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 5) When you go live your rates and inventory will be deleted from Booking.com and a full reload will occur from your Beds24 Inventory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can use the "Update" button on each room to speed this up. Your bookings will not be deleted from Booking.com but make sure the dates are blocked in Beds24 before going live so they will not be reopened.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 6) Once updated, check all your values in the Booking.com extranet for correctness and if required make any adjustments to the settings to fix.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 7) New bookings made after XML is enabled will import to Beds24 automatically.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Setup Problems==
| |
| − | 1) The room is being unexpectedly closed at booking.com
| |
| − | | |
| − | The channel manager will close the room on all dates which do not have a valid price available for sending to booking.com. Make sure you have prices for the complete range of dates you are sending (1 year or 2 years)
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) "Room code is not unique" warning when saving in Beds24.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Each Booking.com room id is unique and can be mapped to only one room in Beds24. If you enter the same Booking.com room id more than once the room updates will overwrite each other causing inaccurate information being sent to Booking.com
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Missing Credit Card Details
| |
| − | | |
| − | When Booking.com sends the credit card number it will be available in the "Payments and Charges" tab of the booking unless it has been stored in a third party system such as Stripe.
| |
| − | The encoded CVC number is available from the booking notification email sent to the host as the line labelled Security Code. Enter the Security Code value from the email into the booking to view the CVC.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *If there is no Security Code item in the host notification email, the CVC was not collected or sent for this booking. Please ask Booking.com to collect and send it to Beds24 if you require it.
| |
| − | *If credit card details are always missing and you require them, please ask Booking.com to collect and send credit card details to Beds24
| |
| − | *If Booking.com normally sends credit card details but did not do so for a specific booking and you always want a card as security, please ask Booking.com to exclusively accept bookings with a credit card number.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 4) Daily prices and prices for the Room, Double and Single occupancy can be mapped to Booking.com.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These can be mapped to Booking.com rate id's and will use the booking conditions of that rate id. Extra person and extra child prices within a Beds24 Rate and discounts set in a Rates Discount section are not able to export to Booking.com or other channels.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Common Errors==
| |
| − | Any errors reported by Booking.com will be emailed to you with the error message as returned by Booking.com.
| |
| − | The error message usually includes information about the date, rate or room with the problem and a brief description.
| |
| − | Below are common error messages and how to fix them.

| − | | |
| − | 3) Single occupancy prices must be activated within booking.com if you are sending them to multi person room rates. They can be disabled by setting "Rates" = "Full Only"
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | 5) Deleting a rate or price in Beds24 will not delete the price in Booking.com. If you need to close a rate at Booking.com, make the rate id unbookable at Beds24, for example by closing the room or removing the price and wait for it to update at Booking.com. Only once the rate has closed at Booking.com it is safe to remove it from Beds24.
| |
| − | | |
| − | You can close a rate at booking.com by making sure there is no price for it on the dates to close in Beds24.

| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have multiple rates at booking.com, the other rates can continue to be available by giving them prices.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Note that if there is no price on any day at all for a rate, this will not necessarily close the rate, in this case no information will be sent and whatever data is in Booking.com will remain.

| − | == FAQ ==
