== Import existing bookings==
Before your activate a connection make sure your rates prices and inventory are set up correctly. The channel manger can only import bookings from the time the connection was activated. If you have previous or other bookings outside the Beds24 system you have these options:
*For some channels we can import upcoming bookings. If this is possible you will find information about this in the channel specific set up instructions.
*To block booked dates go to the CALENDAR in your control panel and change the inventory for the dates you have bookings for.
*If you need the booking details in Beds24 will need to enter the bookings manually. If you are comfortable working with .csv files you can import data into Beds24 using our API (https://api.beds24.com).
= Connection types =
=== Preferences ===
You can set bulk settings for your Channel Managers in Preferences.
*Export Data = 1 or 2 years, if you want to send prices upto 2 years to the Channels, then as long as you have Rates/daily prices setup for the Channel, then you can select the appropriate setting here. Please Note :- we can not send 2 years data for all channels, you can see the specifics in the HELP page for each Channel.
*Import Channel Collect Payments - If any of your Channels collect payments on your behalf, if you set this = YES, then the details will be imported with the booking.
=== Do guests receive a confirmation? ===
The channel confirms the booking with the guest. Beds24 will not sent a confirmation message. If you want to send one as well you can set up an Auto Action Email. A template is available which you can further customize. Use the context help (?Icons) in the Auto Action and on the help page (click on HELP in the top right menu) for further instructions.
=== How do I modify or cancel a booking?===
If you change a room for a booking from a channel in Beds24 the channel will still treat the booking as if it is in the room the guest booked at the channel.
=== How do can I access credit card details?===
Some channels send credit card details. This is how you can [[View_Credit_Card_Details| view credit card details]].
