What's new in the application?
At BedBooking, we constantly strive to improve our application to provide our users with the best possible tools to manage their properties. One of the most important elements is the Price list, which plays a key role in the reservation management process. We would like to present to you the latest changes we have introduced to our Price list to make it more approachable and further optimize the management of your facility.
New “Commission and Availability” functionality
The new Price list was created to simplify and automate the management of prices and availability between sales channels, such as Airbnb, Booking.com or the BedBooking reservation system. All you need to do is set the commission amount for Airbnb and Booking.com and then set only BedBooking prices in the Price list. The system will automatically calculate and send prices to the appropriate channels. Additionally, from now on you will be able to set availability restrictions in one place, e.g. the minimum length of stay on the day of arrival, which will be automatically sent to all platforms. This means you no longer have to manually adjust prices and restrictions for each of these places separately. “Commission and availability” will make it easier for you to manage prices and availability between different sales channels, so you can save your time.

Separate prices for Booking.com
We know that many users need flexibility in managing prices on various portals, so from now on you can set separate prices for Booking.com, which gives you full control over how much you want to earn, taking into account the platform's commission. You can freely increase prices on Booking.com using the "Commission and Availability" functionality, thanks to which your offer will always be attractive.
Refreshed and more intuitive look
One of the aspects we decided to address was the appearance of the Price list. We wanted to make using BedBooking even more intuitive and transparent, so we introduced a new view that is modern and easier to use. Now you will be able to manage your room prices faster and easier.
One price grid for all sales channels
Another important change is the introduction of one coherent price grid where you will find all prices - those from the BedBooking, Airbnb or Booking.com reservation system. This means that you now have a full view of all prices in one place. You no longer have to jump between tabs to check prices on different portals.
Freedom of Booking.com pricing plans
The BedBooking Price list now gains complete flexibility in managing Booking.com rate plans. Each price plan may have its own prices and its own availability restrictions, which allows for even more precise adjustment of the Price list to current market needs. If you use the "Commission and Availability" functionality, you can set different commission amounts, which allows you to automate the management of multiple plans at once. Now there is nothing stopping you from boldly experimenting with your offer to optimize your facility's income as much as possible.

We would like to emphasize that updating the Price list will not affect your existing settings.The new Price list was created to ensure that all your prices and preferences are transferred unchanged and without the need to manually complete them.
Simplifying the creation of a Booking.com connection with BedBooking
Additionally, the new version of the application introduces improvements when connecting a Booking.com property to BedBooking. Until now, prices and availability restrictions were sent from BedBooking to Booking.com. This created the need to properly configure and complete the BedBooking Price list before launching the connection. Thanks to the new Price list, this process has been simplified. You no longer have to worry about configuring Booking.com rate plans and filling in prices and restrictions in BedBooking - from now on, when connecting a Booking.com property to BedBooking, prices and availability restrictions for rate plans are downloaded to BedBooking unchanged. The new Price list supports an unlimited number of Booking.com pricing plans and the three most popular Booking.com pricing models. This means that connecting BedBooking with Booking.com is very simple and safe.
