Expedia will only send bookings made within the last 30 days. Modifications to these bookings will automatically import.
Bookings made earlier can be imported via a CSV file and you will need to update these bookings manually.
a. Export your bookings as CSV from Expedia
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 from Expedia 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.
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.
4) New bookings made after XML is enabled will import to Beds24 automatically.
