This page is about the Menu SUB ACCOUNT-> RESELLER

Resellers can brand the system with their own logo and URL. They can include their own value adding services and sell these with the system to end users.

Revenue options for resellers:

  • Package online booking system with a lodging web site
  • Setup fees (set up the system, and install it into your users website)
  • Fees for customisation
  • Support or management fees
  • Monthly usage fees (based on services used or flat rate)

Reseller services include:

  • Beds24 online booking system and (front end and backend) white labeled for distribution. The channel manager can not be completely white labeled because setting up connections with booking channels means exposing that you connect through Beds24.
