Does the Private label work with the booking widgets? Or how is that accomplished.
If I host my own cert and proxy?

The private label option lets you use your own domain e.g. bookings.mydomain.com (instead of beds24.com). You need to create a CNAME record for your domain with the value admin.beds24.com at your domains name server. Your domain register can usually help with this.

If you want to collect credit card data or view credit card information in the control panel you need SSL. There is no extra charge if you/your developer installs the SSL certificate. This help document gives you more information: https://wiki.beds24.com/index.php?title ... _Label_SSL


To set a private label booking page go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->PRIVATE LABEL. For instructions please use the context help (? icons) and click on HELP (top right menu) of this page.

Yes, I understand all that. I am just wondering how it affects the booking widgets?

The URL of the booking page is replaced with the URL of your subdomain. The "Powered by" will be replaced with your name.

Will Beds24.com text & logo disappear from all sub-accounts, support section, etc?

Can we add our own logo?

We will service multiple properties with a number of sub-accounts

There are two sides to private labelling:

1. Private Label booking page - use your own domain e.g. bookings.mydomain.com (instead of beds24.com) and your own favicon. To set a private label booking page go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->PRIVATE LABEL. For instructions please use the context help (? icons) and click on HELP (top right menu) of this page. The monthly fee for this is €19.00 per URL.

You can activate the private label option when you go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->PRIVATE LABEL. Click on the ? icons if you need help.

2. If you resell to hotels we can also private label the control panel. This service is available for accounts with a monthly account fee of €75.00 or more. If your monthly account fee is below this you will need to pay €75.00/month. The channel manager can not be completely white labeled because setting up connections with booking channels like means exposing that you connect through Beds24. Our online help from within the control panel is full with references to Beds24 so we normally disable it for private label, we can leave it active if you prefer.

This includes using your own domain, facicon and logo.

Go to SUB ACCOUNTS in the top right menu then click on RESELLER. For instructions how to set reseller functions up click on HELP in the top right menu of this page.

Both options

It would be logical to have the channel manager also private labelled without the beds24 link visible. Is that something beds24 is considering?

Ok - I got the SSL certificate - I use a A Record pointing to MY Ip Adress

Next step:
# We're not an open proxy
ProxyRequests off
# Proxying is available for anyone
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
# The site we're proxying
ProxyPass / https://admin.beds24.com/
ProxyPassReverse / https://admin.beds24.com/
That means, that the a call for https://booking.bergfrieden.tirol (my subdomain) would be redirected to beds24.com.
If that all is correct. I can not save any external pictures on booking.bergfrieden.tirol - (be course not folder structure on that subdomain)
IF I use picture NOT hosted on booking.bergfrieden.tirol but at for example
http://bergfrieden.tirol ("unsave not SSL page)
the SSL connection would not be considered a save one by google and a warning message would be there... Mixed content...
That's what I see wright now.

Would love some clearing on that one....

Pictures hosted by beds24 (uploaded through the control panel opened with your domain) are hosted by a plain label site https://media.xmlcal.com

You can host your own pictures (via the external pictures menu) but should host them on a site with https. It does not need to be your private label url.

so, I did get that wrong, that the booking relatet files could be hostet at my server?

I would love to hack the design so it would just look like the webpage I use...
