Overview
This section explains how to start rate and inventory synchronization and verify the synchronization on the OTA side from:
[Admin Console] > [Property List] > Select Property > [Channel Manager] > [Channel Settings]
The procedure is basically the same for all OTAs.
Detail
Synchronization Settings / Start Synchronization
Go to: Admin Console > Property List > Select the relevant property > Channel Manager > Channel Settings. Then, for the relevant room type, click either:
[+] > [Blue Room Type Name] for the relevant OTA, or
[…] > [Settings].
2. Set the price synchronization multiplier, price plan mapping, etc., then turn the inventory/price synchronization toggle to [On] and click [Save] to start the synchronization immediately. If the setup is already complete, clicking [Sync] will start the sync process.
Sync Availability | When turned ON, inventory information will be synced from AirHost to the OTA. |
Sync Price | When turned ON, rate information will be synced from AirHost to the OTA. |
Percentage | If service fees differ by OTA, or if you want to fine-tune synced rates for each OTA while keeping the same general pricing seasonality, you can use the Rate Sync Multiplier feature. For example:
When rates are synced to each OTA, the rates set in the rate calendar are treated as 100%, and the OTA-specific multiplier is applied accordingly. Please refer to the following help page: |
Rate Plan Mapping | Maps AirHost rate plans to the OTA’s rate plans (accommodation plans). Please refer to the following help page: |
※ Available settings may vary depending on the OTA.
