The ''Synchroniser'' function will keep inventory up-to-date in real time at our channel partners, allowing hosts to use and get the most out of multiple on-line booking channels without the hassle of constantly signing-in and updating all of them individually each time a booking is made (or cancelled) via one of them.
A basic example for how it works: Lets say your are a B&B and your inventory is 2 double rooms. The inventory in Beds24 is set to 2. This inventory gets exported to the booking channel. So both your website and the booking channel can sell 2 rooms. If you get a booking on your website the system automatically reduces the inventory in the system to 1 room. It sends the new inventory information to the booking channel so the booking channel has only an inventory of 1 room, too. It works the same the other way around. If you get another booking through a booking channel this information gets sent to Beds24. The inventory gets reduced to 0 rooms. Now your rooms are fully booked. Both your website and the booking channel will show no availabilty. To set channel management up go to '''SETTINGS''' → -> '''CHANNEL MANAGER'''
You can enter the required information for each site and turn on synchronisation on a room by room basis. Each site has slightly different requirements and each has a help document explaining exactly what and where to get the information you need. Please read our [https://www.beds24.com/legal.html User Agreement] and in particular the liability section.
