Rates
To export rates you need to enter the Expedia rate code.
This can be entered in the channel manager settings and will be used for daily prices and all rates which are not set to a specific rate code.
Each rate can have a specific Expedia rate code which will be used in place of the one set in the channel manager.
Daily prices are also exported if allowed by your daily price settings.
The end selling price on Expedia may be different to the price sent, please check if your Expedia account is set for "Sell Rate" or "Net Rate" type and adjust the prices accordingly.
The default rate model exported to Expedia is Occupancy based pricing.
If your Expedia rate needs to be sent as Per-Day pricing, this can be specified by adding /D to the end of the Rate code in Beds24. For example if the Expedia rate code is 12345678A, enter 12345678A/D as the rate code in Beds24.
Rate codes can be entered as a comma separated list. This will send the same Beds24 rate to multiple Expedia rates. If you do this you must ensure the same rate is not sent twice for any date, this will cause an error and not be accepted by Expedia.
