=== Payments ===
=== Payments ===
If you do not use Hometogo Payment solutions go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > HOMETOGO  > SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT to set which payment method you accept.  
If you do not use Hometogo Payment solutions go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > HOMETOGO  > SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT to set which payment method you accept.
 
=== Permit / National Identification Code ===
The value in the property permit setting is sent to Home To Go as the National Identification Code value.
 
Custom values can be defined to specify specific values for this channel only. This will override the values you have set generally. Add the parameters one per line.
 
Go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > HOMETOGO  > SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT > CUSTOM and enter the appropriate values.
 
 
Available parameters are:
 
PERMIT - sends National Identification Code. If you only have the PERMIT value, the same value will be sent to both
 
PERMITREGIONAL - sends the Registration Number to Hometogo.
 
Examples:
 
PERMIT AB01244
 
This will send AB01244 as National Identification Code for this room to this channel instead of the one defined per property.
 
PERMITREGIONAL AB01244
 
This will send AB01244 as Registration Number for this room. Otherwise the value in PERMIT will be sent.
