If your contract changes you will need to update Beds24 with the codes for your new contract.

8 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%)
