Fields and columns

Field Meaning
Unit The unit, the currency its prices are in, and the connected channel, if any.
Price For a unit connected to a channel manager, the price guests see there. Otherwise the last price set here. Empty: no price yet.
Coloured nights Taken by a stay or a block, by channel. Their price cannot be changed here.

Statuses and automation

Each change is kept with who made it and when. For a connected unit, the changed nights are sent to the channel in one request; if the channel refuses, your price is still kept here and the error is shown. Past nights cannot be changed.

Settings that change this page

Connecting a unit to Beds24 (Beds24 page) makes the grid show and change Beds24 prices.

FAQs

Why can I not change a booked night? The guest's price is already agreed; change the booking instead.

Does this change my booking website prices? No. The booking website uses its own listing prices and calendar.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
"Channel prices unavailable" The channel could not be reached. The grid shows prices set here; try again later.
Some units are missing The first 25 are shown; choose units to see others.
