Two-Way API connections with all leading OTAs allow you to export prices and inventory and import bookings instantly.
We also offer content management and listing creation with select OTAs including Airbnb, Booking.com and the Vrbo and many convenience functions like reporting, review management and messaging.
There are also an iCal import and iCal export functions for two-way connections via iCal which should be only used for channels without an API connection.
For each connected channel there is a dedicated help page with information on the capabilities of the connection and setup instructions.

Two-Way XML connections with Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Hostelworld and many more leading OTA`s export prices and inventory and import bookings instantly.
