==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 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 group as 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. 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 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.
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%)
You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR][/]0.85 will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and 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.
