'''A basic example for how it works''':
Lets say your are a B&B and your inventory is 2 double rooms. The inventory in the system 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.
To use the channel manger you need accounts with the booking channels you want to use and connect them to the channel manager account.
