[[Image:ctrip_activation.pngSetting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|500px|link=Please use these instructions]][[Media:ctrip.

Ctrip You can set up multiple rate plan ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate if breakfast included or offer to each Ostrovok ratenot. If you do not have want to offer different prices with and without breakfast map your most common option in the appropriate rate plan ids you need to request Ostrovok to add themchannel manager settings.
*Click on You can specify the "Get other price option in the Ctrip Room and Rate Codes for channel manger settings of the daily price or the rate by adding this Property Code" link information to view all mapping codes for this propertythe Ctrip rate code.

On included for the CHANNEL tab maximum number of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter an Ctrip rate plan id.If this setting guests the breakfast is left blank, the rate plan id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings included for Ctrip will be used.If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative Ctrip rate plan id, enter the Ctrip rate plan id here.*add /n if no breakfast
<embedvideo service="youtube">httpsExample://youtu.be/C5bfXOEtve4</embedvideo>Breakfast not included
[[Image:Agoda_rate_mappingctrip_nobreakfast.png|400px500px|link=]][[Media::Agoda_rate_mappingctrip_nobreakfast.png|view large]]
If breakfast is included the default is for the number of breakfasts ist the maximum number of guests the room can accommodate. If breakfast is not included in the price for all guests you have the option to specify the number of included breakfasts by adding
If you have linked a rate to be used */1 = breakfast included for other offers or rooms use the selector to choose the room you want to map1 guest (/2 = 2 breakfasts included.... /9 9 breakfasts included)

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily <span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send. Prices'''that had already been set in HRS be overridden but cannot be removed. If no prices have are sent from Beds24, no availability is sent, but the which originally was in HRS is displayed.
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different Ctrip rate plan id.This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to Ctrip.'''Payment collection'''
To define You can set if guests pay Ctrip or if they pay at the hotel.. If you want to send prices for Ctrip rate plan id for each offer, separate collect and hotel collect you can specify this in the channel manger settings of the rate plan ids with colons.For example daily price or the following Beds24 rate plan id setting will map offer 1 by adding this information to the Ctrip 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:code.
'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''If you use daily prices you can set the rate code under "Enable" in the Daily Price settings (SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES- >ROOMS- >DAILY PRICES then click on "Edit)
If offer 1 is used only for you use rates go to the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for Ctrip leave "Channels" tab of the first rate plan 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 */c = Ctrip rate plan idscollect*/h = hotel collect
Example: Rate applies for Ctrip collect
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''[[Image:ctrip_collect.png|500px|link=]][[Media:ctrip_collect.png|view large]]
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple Ctrip rate plan ids== Activate ==*Tick "Inventory", the multiple rate plan ids can be entered with a comma separating them"Prices" and "Bookings"*Save[[Image:ctrip_activation. png|500px|link=]]For example ''''12345678,123456789'''[[Media:ctrip_ativation.png|view large]]
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple Ctrip 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 Ctrip 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 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 the multiplier number to your hotel Idid.
For example a property code hotel id setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456. You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used. For example *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros. == Check Connection ==The connection is working if you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct.
