If you received a booking with the incorrect price, please check the possible issues below which will help you find and solve the problem.



PROBLEM 1 - Price edited after entering the system


SOLUTION

Check if the booking price was not edited manually in the reservation or the price has not changed while changing rooms or dates. You can see that information in the history.






PROBLEM 2 - Incorrect price set up manually in the calendar


SOLUTION

Check what price is set up in the Availability & Rate Calendar for the booking date. Red color means that it was set up manually by a user. You can restore season price: 





PROBLEM 3 - prices adjusted by Channel Manager or strategies


SOLUTION

1. Open Channel Manager, select plugin and click on Next button until you see the Rate Mapping section. Check if there is any adjustment in the table. Change it to 0 if necessary.



Click on Save button to keep the connection active and send the update to the channel.


2. Open Availability and Rate Calendar and show strategies to see the adjustments. Check the strategies' configuration, instruction: Setting up price Strategies






PROBLEM 3 not updated occupancy prices


SOLUTION

Check the occupancy prices in the Calendar. They are important in case of bookings from Expedia and Agoda which support occupancy prices. 






PROBLEM 4 - plugin is disabled in the Channel Manager

Open Channel Manager. If the plugin is red but you had the connection activated previously, it means that the synchronization is disabled and prices cannot be updated. 



SOLUTION

Activate the connection again, see here how to do it: Disabled plugin, how to activate it?





PROBLEM 5 - incorrect currency configuration in the Channel Manager


SOLUTION

Go to Channel Manager, select problematic connection and click on Next button until you see the Rate Mapping section.  Check, if the currency is the same as the currency set up in the portal


This point is very important, because if you select an incorrect currency, the portal will not accept the update from the system or will show incorrect prices.

Click on Save button to keep the connection active.





PROBLEM 6 - rates are not mapped in Channel Manager



SOLUTION

Go to Channel Manager, select problematic connection and click on Next button until you see the Rate Mapping section. Map all missing rates and click on Save button to keep the connection active and send the update to the channel.





PROBLEM 7 - Portal price limits block prices synchronization


SOLUTION

If you change prices in the system and they are not updated on the portal, make sure that they are within the minimum and maximum price limit set up on the portals account. If the price is lower than the minimum price or higher than the maximum price, the update will not be accepted. You can contact your account manager in order to check or change the limits.


This restriction may appear in case of Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda connections.
