What a Channel Manager Connection Does

It connects Booking Ninjas to supported external distribution channels so booking data can move between systems without staff re-entering every change by hand.

Availability Exchange

Share availability with connected channels according to the connector's supported update method, mapping, timing, and external API behavior.

Rate Exchange

Send or receive supported rate information based on the channel connection and configured rate mapping.

Reservation Intake

Bring supported external reservations into Booking Ninjas so staff can manage them with the rest of the reservation operation.

Shared Salesforce Context

Keep connected reservations closer to customer records, billing, reporting, and operational workflows inside Salesforce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a channel manager do?

A channel manager connects booking inventory with external distribution channels. Depending on the connector, it can exchange availability, rates, and reservation data so staff do not have to update every channel manually.

Is Channel Manager a separate Booking Ninjas extension?

Yes. Channel Manager is a $100/month per property extension designed to work with Booking Ninjas Core.

Does Booking Ninjas support Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, or Vrbo?

Support depends on the connector available for the specific implementation. We confirm the required OTA or channel connection during scoping rather than promising every platform by default.

Does channel synchronization eliminate overbooking?

No system can guarantee that. A supported channel connection can reduce manual delays and conflict risk, but results depend on the connector, external API behavior, mappings, update timing, and reservation rules.

Are third-party channel fees included?

No. OTA, channel-manager, middleware, transaction, licensing, and other vendor fees remain separate where applicable.

What happens if the channel connection is not already supported?

A new connection is scoped separately based on API access, authentication, data mapping, supported operations, testing requirements, and whether the integration should become a reusable Booking Ninjas capability.

What is a listing-channel connection?

One listing connected to one channel counts as one listing-channel connection. For example, 10 rooms connected to 2 channels equals 20 listing-channel connections.

Does Channel Manager require AI?

No. Distribution connections work without AI. AI-assisted analysis can be scoped separately where the required data and use case justify it.

How much does Channel Manager cost?

Channel Manager costs $100 per property/month. It includes up to 50 listing-channel connections and 100 channel reservations per month. Additional connections are $1.50/month each, and additional channel reservations are $0.30 each. Implementation, new channel integrations, custom configurations, and third-party channel fees can be separate.
