9 Multiple contracts

Specify the first contract in the channel manager settings. Make sure "Hotelbeds" is ticked in the "Channels" tab of all rates you want to send to this contract. Multiple contracts require rates to be defined for each contract.

Open the rates you want to send to the second contract. Go to the "Channels" tab. Tick "Hotelbeds" and enter the contract name and sequence for this contract separated by the / symbol.

Example: NRF-BAR/45678

If the office code for the contract is different to that set in the channel manager settings, it can be specified as a third item in the rate setting.

Example: NRF-BAR/45678/164


Daily prices and all rates in which you have not specified a contract will send only to the first contract.

10 Activate

You can view the live availability and prices that will be sent to Hotelbeds before or after activating using the "View actual data" button.

When everything is correct tick "Inventory", "Prices" and "Bookings" to activate the connection.

11 Price Multiplier

If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because Hotelbds requires a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your Contract Name.

For example a Contract Name setting ABC*1.23 will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for Contract Name ABC. (i.e. raised by 23%) Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. ABC*0.85 will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)

12 Common Errors

Incorrect user or password
Check if your username password and hotel code are entered correctly. . 
  • If yes send and email to [email protected] and ask them to check the connection with Beds24 is activated.

13 Notes

  • If you want to sync only inventory and have multiple contracts you need a rate for each contract with a price. In the "Channels" tab of the rate deselect "Hotelbeds" and if will not send.
