For example Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros. Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] [/]0.85 will convert Indonesian Rupees to Eurosand divides the price by 0.85 which raises it by circa 15% ===Minimum Stay===Hostelworld accept one minimum stay per date which then applies to all rooms/dorms in the property. Beds24 defines minimum stays at the room level so if you want to send a minimum stay you must make use of the 'Minimum Stay Source' setting in the Channel Manager choosing one room from the drop down list. The minimum stays from this room will then apply to the whole property at Hostelworld. Note: The selected room in 'Minimum Stay Source' must be enabled and already sending inventory to Hostelworld. == Check Connection ==The connection is working if you are not receiving error messages and the display in the channel is correct. If you are receiving error messages check in the "Common Errors" section why you are receiving the error and how to fix it. == Updates ==Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for example minimum stays, or quantity of rooms will send with the next update. Click on "Update" if you want to push them through instantly.
=== Can I send different prices for different minimum stays or different numbers of guests?===
No. We can send one price.
==Limitations==
*"Extra Person" prices cannot be exported.
*Hostelworld will reserve inventory for a booking as soon as the guest starts the booking process. We can not close the room once a booking is in progress even if the availability changed during this period.
== Before you connect ==
'''Prices'''
*We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].
*Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate or offer to each Hostelworld rate code. Currently Hostelworld only supports refundable and non-refundable rates.
*Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be sent.
*If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value.
'''Private Rooms'''
To sell a complete room at Hostelworld set it to a "Private" room type in their system. We will still send the bed price as per a bed but Private rooms will only be sold if all the beds in the room are booked together.
'''Bookings'''
New Bookings are imported.
Existing bookings are not automatically imported when the connection is established and should be entered into Beds24 manually.
'''Extras and Taxes'''
"Upsell Items" can not be exported.
'''Rooms and room types'''
If you sell rooms individually at another channel or your own web site and want to sell them here as a "roomtype" with a quantity of more than one you can [[Combine_individual_rooms_into_a_roomtype|set up virtual roooms]].

*Save
==Prices==
For dorms Beds24 checks the prices in this order: 1. single price: 2. double price: if no single price is found the system will look for a double price and send this to Hostelworld group 3. room price: if no single or double price are found the system will look for a room price and send this to Hostelworld group. This includes the export price. For private rooms Beds24 checks the prices in this order:
1. room price: it a room price is set the system will divide the room price by the number of beds and send this to Hostelworld group
2. double price: if no room price is found the system will look for a double price, divide it by 2 and send this to Hostelworld groupas the price per bed for the private room.
3. single price: if no room price and no double price are found the system will send the single price as bed price to Hostelworld group. For dorm beds just set a single price.
The price paid by the guest is the bed price multiplied by the number of beds in the private room.
<span class="circle" >Tip</span> '''''Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.'''''
===Multiple Rates===
Hostelworld support multiple rate codes.
Beds24 can map a different Beds24 rate or offer to each Hostelworld rate code. Currently Hostelworld currently Beds24 checks the prices in this order:only supports refundable and non-refundable rates. [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these instructions]].
If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Hostelwrold to add them.
===Price Multiplier===
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because Hostelworld requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number to your hotel id.
You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
==Common Errors==
If username and Hostelworld API password are correctly entered please check with your Hostelworld account manager whether the connection is activated.
'''Date ranges overlap'''
You have two rooms mapped to the same Hostelworld room code. Each Hostelworld room code can only be mapped to one room in Beds24. Please correct your mapping.
'''<error roomtypeid="1234" code=""></error>'''
If the room has been deleted in Hostelworld untick "Prices", "Inventory" and "Bookings". If the room has not been deleted in Hostelworld please check if it is properly set up there.
'''Incorrect Price, Invalid rate plan(s)'''
You have added a number which is not a valid Hostelworld rate id into the field in the "Channels" tab of a rate/daily price.
*Open your rates (Channel Tab) and make sure the correct rate id is selected from the 'get codes' list.
*Open your daily prices (Enable list) and make sure the correct rate id is selected from the 'get codes' list.
==Notes==
*The password is a special API password not your regular Hostelword password. Changing the password will break the connection. *To sell a complete room at Hostelworld set it to a "Private" room type in their system.
We will still send the bed price as per a dorm but Private rooms will only be sold if all the beds in the room are booked together.
*Hostelworld can send credit card details but they will not send a CCV.
