Differences between hotels and hotels that use an affiliated hotel story when registering for OTA
You only need to add a channel as the CMS you used. You don't need to re-enter inventory.

If your property has already implemented a CMS and is operating it, you may be wondering if you need to re-enter inventory and fees from the beginning when registering for a new OTA. This depends a lot on how the integration works.
๐ Comparison of registration procedures for not owning a CMS versus having one
delimiting | I don't have a CMS | Owns a CMS (affiliated, hotel story, etc.) |
Initial inventory entry | Manual input per channel | Automatically reflected in integration with existing CMS data |
Price changes | Edit each channel individually | After batch edits in CMS, all channels are reflected |
Confirm reservation | Individual check for each channel | Check it out on the CMS integration screen |
Registration time | Relatively Kim | Can be shortened after checking the linked API |
โ Things to check when linking to each CMS
under
Is the API integration permission of the affiliated account enabled
Are inventory allocation settings for each channel already configured under the umbrella
Hotel story
Since it's a cloud-based integration, check account access
Whether to set priorities for simultaneous multi-channel linking
common
Does the room type name registered in the existing CMS match the room type in the new channel
When the first reservation occurred after integration, did both the CMS and channel check whether it was reflected
โ ๏ธ Common errors when linking
If only a specific room's inventory is not reflected due to missing room type mapping
Temporary discrepancy occurred due to reflection time difference after price change
Double check is required for the first few days of integration
TripBitos supports affiliated, Hotel Story, TL, and in-house APIs, and registration is carried out by adding only channel links while keeping the existing CMS account as it is.
