What you will need
- Your Travelocity hotel id
- Your Travelocity room codes
- Your Travelocity rate codes
Travelocity.com
To activate the connection you will need to ask travelocity to connect your property to Beds24.com
The room and rate codes can be found in the Travelocity extranet. Note these are usually short text codes, not the numeric room and rate numbers.
Beds24.com
Enable Travelocity in the channel manager settings.
Enter your Travelocity property, room and rate codes.
Use the check boxes to enable the required functions.
Bookings
Bookings are imported. Cancellations to bookings are also imported.
Rates
To export rates you need to enter the Travelocity rate code in the channel manager settings.
Rates are exported as a room price. Daily prices are also exported if allowed by their settings.
Travelocity can set up multiple rate ids for each room, each with pre-defined booking conditions. Beds24 can send a different price to each Booking.com rate ID. Please use these instructions. If you do not have the appropriate rate ids you need to request Booking.com to add them.
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your property code.
For example a property code setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456.
Updates
Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for example minimum stays or number of rooms will send with the next update. Click on "Update" if you want to push them through instantly.
