Bookings for one person will be offered the Single price. Bookings for two people will be offered the Single plus Extra person price. Bookings for three people the Single plus two Extra person etc.
===Offer the whole dorm at a discounted price===Set up the price for the whole dorm as ''Room Price'' for ''Max Room Capacity''. ===Discounted price for children===If you offer a discounted price for children enter this into ''Extra Child''. If you use this go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES -> ROOMS and set ''Maximum Adults'' and ''Maximum Children'' to the max number you allow in this dorm. ==Manage bookings ==For online bookings containing multiple beds the system will create a group booking with one master booking showing the invoice for all beds and and individual linked bookings for each bed. The [[ImageGroup_Bookings]] help page gives more information on how to manage group bookings. When manually adding a booking for a dorm you can assign a free bed via the "Unit" selector in the "Summary" tab of the booking. If you are adding a booking for multiple beds use the "Allocate" button to allocate beds. ==Channels / OTAs ==If you plan to sell your dorm Beds on a booking channel, then please check the specific requirements for pricing and dependencies to ensure you meet their requirements. ==Channels/OTA pricing requirements==  {| class="wikitable"! scope="col"| OTA! scope="col"| Channel Pricing Model! scope="col"| Daily Price Rules ! scope="col"| Calendar ! scope="col"| Channel specific requirements|- |Agoda|Per Occupancy Pricing |Price for = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price"|Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar ||- |Airbnb|Per Day Pricing |Price for = up to 1 person, no "Extra Person Price"|Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar |{{#fas:hostel2.pngcog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > LISTING DETAILS >'''Property Type Group''' = boutique_hotels_and_more  '''Listing Type''' = Shared room  '''Bathroom Shared''' = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE) {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > PRICING >Guests Included = 1 {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING > Sync Type = Limited |- |Airbnb|Per Occupancy Pricing|Price for = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price"|600pxEnter Bed/person Price in the calendar |link{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > LISTING DETAILS >'''Property Type Group''' =]]boutique_hotels_and_more  '''Listing Type''' = Shared room  '''Bathroom Shared''' = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE) [[Media<span class="" style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:hostel2lightbulb}} </span> If you use Pricing Model = Per Occupancy Pricing, then Airbnb does not limit the number of guests based on the inventory sent from Beds24.png |- |Expedia|Per Day Pricing |Price = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price"|Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar |view large]]|-
