===Multiple Rates===

Example: *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR][/]0.85 will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and send a price 85% of divides the normal price (iby 0.e. lowered 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 and Changes==Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for example minimum stays, the multiplier or quantity number of rooms will send with the next update. Click on "Update" if you want to push them through instantly.
==Common Errors==
Check if the username is correct and and the password entered is your Hostelworld API password provided by your Hostelworld account manager.
If username and Hostelworld API password are correctly entered please check with your Hostelworld account manager whether the connection is activated.
'''Non existing room type'''
You have mapped a code for a room which does not exist in Hostelworld. Go to SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->HOSTELWORLD and check your mapping. You can only map codes which show up when you click on "Get Codes".
'''Date ranges overlap'''
==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.
