“All bookings from different OTAs and from our own website are visible in one system, thereby avoiding double bookings. Our own website is the baseline and we add certain percentages to our prices on the OTAs. What’s beautiful about the Channel Manager is that it allows us to program our prices up to 1 or 2 years ahead in just a few clicks.”

Channel Manager FAQs
How does Channel Manager work?
Simply put, Channel Manager pushes and pulls updates to and from the connected channels. The result? Synchronized settings and no more double bookings!
What settings can I manage with Channel Manager?
From a central dashboard, Channel Manager lets you manage your accommodation types, rate plans, prices, restrictions, promotions, availability, closed periods and guest payments on different OTAs, GDSs and metasearch engines.
How does Channel Manager boost my online visibility?
Channel Manager enables you to maximize your property’s exposure by distributing your listings across over 200 global booking sites as well as niche OTAs to reach a broader audience. Effortlessly promote your property on more channels without increasing your workload and enjoy a higher ranking on these major platforms thanks to our premium partnerships with Booking.com and Expedia.
Which channels can I connect to the Channel Manager?
You can choose from over 200 channels, ranging from the biggest OTAs to local or niche booking sites. We keep a close eye on the OTA market and clients’ needs in order to build new integrations.
Can I use a PMS instead of a Channel Manager?
While a PMS may offer some distribution options, we always recommend using Channel Manager. Channel Manager retrieves and sends availability updates considerably faster (in real time) and allows for much more efficient management of room types, rate plans, packages, promotions and more.
Will the Booking Engine work with my website?
Integration is smooth and straightforward. Our Booking Engine comes with a Ratebox price comparison widget and clickable reservation buttons that adapt to any website layout, ensuring a consistent and mobile-friendly user interface.
How do I supercharge Channel Manager with optimized rate recommendations?
Combine Channel Manager with Pricing Manager for a uniquely seamless price to platform experience.
