Connect to Channel Managers via Travelgate

What to Expect When Connecting to a Channel Manager​

  • As a Buyer, you can use our Inventory Extranet to create the setup and structure for hotels, rates, and rooms contracted with the Channel Manager/Hotels. The setup should align with the agreements made with each hotel. Additionally, you will have the ability to access and book inventory via our API.
  • The Channel Manager will extract the codes for hotels, rates, and rooms created and map them to their data, enabling them to load availability and rates into our system.

Activation and Configuration​

Travelgate allows only one credential (Hotel-X Access Code) per Channel Manager. If you require multiple configurations, the Inventory Extranet offers flexible setup options to tailor your product settings efficiently.

  2. Explore Available Channel Managers: Visit our Network and select the "Tech Platform > Channel Manager" category to view available options.

  3. Confirm Commercial Agreements: Coordinate with both the hotel and the Channel Manager to finalize commercial agreements. Be sure to inform them that the connection will be made via Travelgate.

  4. Request Activation: Submit your activation request through our Platform under "My Connections." A complete guide on how to request activation can be found here.

  5. Credentials Generation: Once your request is processed, we will generate credentials for accessing the Inventory Extranet and finalize the activation with the Channel Manager.
