OTA Channel Manager guide

OTA Bookings Land on Your Chart Instantly

OTA booking import that puts each reservation on your chart in the same request, with guest details, room, price, tax and payer filled in.

When an OTA sells one of your rooms, the booking is on your chart before the channel's request finishes, and the channel is told exactly what happened.

How it works

Every incoming booking gets one of three answers straight away:

  1. Placed on the chart, in a named room.
  2. Placed on the chart without a room, because that type is full.
  3. Refused, with a plain reason.

A waiting booking is not sitting in some background job. It is already visible.

What gets filled in

What about changes and cancellations?

A modification updates the original stay with its new dates, room type or price, and the stay's history shows what the channel changed. Cancelling ends that stay and returns the room to sale. When the night audit marks a channel booking as a no-show, the channel is told.

Can a rejected booking be recovered?

Yes. If a booking is refused because a key did not match or the hotel was not mapped, the full message is still saved. Every incoming call is logged, accepted or not, and once the cause is fixed you can apply it from the log.
