Rate Strategy:
If a channel rate code is entered directly in a Daily Price or a Rate, it will be used with that price.
If the rate code field is left empty in the Daily Price or Rate, the rate code entered in the Channel Manager settings for the channel will be used, in this case the offer number of the Daily Price or Rate determines which rate code will be used.
If you have additional offers activated you need to consider this in the mapping. The rate code field in the Channel Manager settings can take up to 4 rate codes, each separated by a colon (:). The first code is used for offer 1, the second for offer 2 etc.
Please also see the help the channel help page for specific information for the channel you are setting up.
==== Multiple rate codes using offers ====
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> This method is obsolete. Use the method described under "Multiple rate codes using Daily Prices"
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room. Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different channel rate code.
To define the channel rate code for each offer, separate the rate ids with colons. For example the following Beds24 rate id setting will map offer 1 to rate id 11111, offer 2 to rate id 22222, offer 3 to rate id 33333 and offer 4 to rate id 44444:
11111:22222:33333:4444
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for the channel leave the first rate id blank and start with a colon. For example :22222:33333:44444
The settings for Daily Prices allow each Daily Price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different rate codes.
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Ids'''
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple rate codes at a channel, the multiple rate ids can be entered with a comma separating them. For example 12345678,123456789
This can be used to allow a Daily Price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple rate codes at ta channel. If the comma separated rate ids are defined in the channel manager rate id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific channel rate code, each rate will be mapped to it's rate id and Daily Prices will be mapped to all the specified rate ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.

=Pricing Models =
Each channel has its own capablities capabilities and limitation when it comes to prices. There are general pricing models which are used.
'''Occupancy pricing'''
The channel supports prices for different occupancies.
*If you use rates Fixed Prices 1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple rates Fixed Prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates Fixed Prices can not be sent.
*If you use daily prices the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send.
A price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.
