Like after any other connection, availability, prices and minimum nights restrictions will be over-written on the channel based on the data, that you have in Sabee.
WARNING: If you close rate plan in Sabee it will not be closed in HostelWorld as this OTA does not support rate closings!!!
Important to remember that from Sabee to HostelWorld we will be sending ONLY the maximum occupancy price and price for rest of the guests will be calculated by HostelWorld, based on number of guests.
As you know, when somebody is making a reservation in HostelWorld, they are required to pay 15% of total amount. This 15% is HostelWorld's commission amount that is remaining for the OTA.
When the reservation arrives to your SabeeApp account, this 15 % will be already deducted (for tax models M01,M02,M03,M04 and M06), so you will see that amount on the detailed reservation page, what the guest actually still needs to pay.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to set 15% commission for Hostelworld in the Settings / Partners menu, otherwise the calculation and the prices will be incorrect.
Example: when guest was making reservation, total amount what he saw, was 150€. By the time of reservation, guest had to pay 22.50 (15%) as prepayment. So remaining amount what guest should actually pay up on arrival is 127.50€. This is the amount you will see at the Folio part of the detailed reservation page.
We have implemented a new method for calculating reservation prices from Hostelworld for accounts using the M05, M07, M08, M09 tax models. This enhancement is designed to simplify pricing calculations and improve accuracy for our users.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
When receiving reservation prices from Hostelworld, we first add the current VAT to the total net amount. Additionally, a payment is recorded on the reservation details page, which corresponds to the commission amount from the channel associated with the reservation.
For group reservations, this payment is allocated to the group page.
The payment details for Hostelworld reservations are as follows:
Payment Name: Paid on Hostelworld
Payment Method: Credit/Debit Card
This updated approach ensures efficient and accurate handling of pricing, offering users a seamless experience when managing reservations from Hostelworld through SabeeApp.
The reservations arriving to your SabeeApp account will include the guests' credit card information as well ( except the CVC / CVV code ).
Another important note concerning the synchronisation rules is that Hostelworld accepts maximum 30 nights as a minimum night restriction both for standard and non-refundable rate categories as well.
