'''<span style="color:#019cde;“>{{#fas:external-link-square-alt}} </span> New onboarding flow for Booking.com'''
As part of our ongoing effort to improve workflows we have changed the way our connection with Booking.com works.
'''Why have we done this?'''
Until now we have automatically confirmed connection requests. When we confirm a connection request Booking.com deletes the properties prices and availability and expects the prices and availability to be sent from the channel manager.
Since we can not know if a property is ready this can result in properties being closed at Booking.com.
'''What changes?'''
The change we have made allows you to activate the connection yourself when you are ready.
'''What happens if I am already connected?'''
Nothing. The change only applies to new connections.
The instructions for the [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Booking.com:_Synchronise_bookings_prices_availability mapping] and for the [https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title=Booking.com:_Import_Properties_from_Booking.com_to_Beds24 property import] have been updated.

'''<span style="color:#019cde;“ >{{#fas:external-link-square-alt}} </span> Rates renamed to "Fixed Prices"'''
As a next step on the updates to the control panel we will rename "Rates" to "Fixed Prices". The change will go live shortly. Some help pages have already been updated, the rest will follow shortly. If you see any place where the term "Rates" is used by the end of this week please let us know.
Why we want to do this: Many customers starting with Beds24 confuse what we call rates with channel rate plans. Using the terms "Daily Prices" for dynamic prices and "fixed prices" for prices which have a start and an end date should stop this.
In terms of functionalty nothing will change.
