trivago Direct Connect allows you to promote your webssite rates on trivago and run cost-per-click campaigns.

==General==

*[[:Category:Channel Manager|Click here]] for general information on how the channel manager works.

*This tutorial explains how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].

=== Capabilities ===

*Beds24.com can send price and availability to trivato

*Beds24.com can send descriptive information about your property

*Beds24.com can import bookings

*Beds24.com can import booking cancellations

If you have more than one property in the same Beds24 account, all you need to do is enter the same trivago property code for all of them When trivago request a price for that code we will send prices for all the properties that have the same code. They will appear on trivago as different room options in your trivago property.

Note: The data communication is initiated by trivago. trivago pulls the data from Beds24 (we can not push data to trivago). That means that trivago sends us a request for prices and availability and we then send your data.

== Limitations ==

*If multiple rooms with different occupancies are booked trivago will apply the highest occupancy price for both rooms

*If your booking type is set to collect a deposit trivago will collect the credit card details from the guest. You can then manually charge the deposit account to the card.

trivago requires us to send a confirmation to the guest. The system uses your normal booking confirmation.

== Set up on trivago ==

*Log into your trivago account and go to DIRECTCONNECT. trivago will automatically detect Beds24 is your booking engine.

*Click on "Start Now" to start a campaign. You can find detailed information on how to set up a campaign in the trivago help.

== Set up on Beds24.com ==

*trivago requires the use of a tracking pixel to show you your performance data. The tracking pixel is automatically included on the Beds24 confirmation page. If you use your own confirmation page meaning you have specified a "Booking Return URL" in SETTINGS > BOOKING PAGE > PAGE DESIGN > BEHAVIOUR you will need to implement the tracking pixel on your confirmation page. What you need to do is explained [http://developer.trivago.com/fastconnect/tracking-pixel.html here].
