<span class="circle" >Tip</span> = Price Multiplier ==If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your hotel id. For example a hotel id setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456. Examples:*'''123456*1.23'''Click on the "View Actual Data" Button to check which will multiply all prices for property 123456 by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%).*Lower prices and availability can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: '''123456*0.85''' will send85% of the normal price (i.e.lowered by 15%) for property 123456.*To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a '' '*''' AFTER the multiplier. '''123456*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23 for property 123456.*For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.**'''123456*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.**'''123456*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR][/]0.85''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and lower the price by 15%.
