Direct Booking Engine and Channel Manager Setup

A direct booking engine lets guests check availability and book on your own website, without paying an OTA commission on that booking. A channel manager keeps all your calendars in sync.

We help you choose, set up and connect the right tools, then train your team to use them.

What we set up

• A booking engine placed on your website, matching your brand
• Live availability and rates
• Channel manager connection to your OTA listings
• Secure online payments and deposits
• Automatic confirmation and reminder emails
• Offers, promo codes and length-of-stay rules
• Simple training for you and your staff

Why direct bookings matter

Every booking made on your own website can reduce your commission costs and gives you the guest relationship. Combined with good OTA management, it makes your business more resilient.

Who is this for?

Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, vacation rental owners and boutique stays that sell on more than one channel.
