Connect Travelocity
You need: your Travelocity hotel ID, room codes and rate codes.
Step 1: Request the connection at Travelocity
- Ask Travelocity to connect your property to Beds24.
- Find your room and rate codes in the Travelocity extranet. They're usually short text codes, not the numeric room and rate numbers.
Step 2: Connect in Beds24
- Go to Settings > Channel Manager > Travelocity and enable the channel.
- Enter your Travelocity hotel ID, room codes and rate codes. You need the rate code to export prices.
- Tick the functions you want to use and click Save.
Expected result: Beds24 sends your availability and prices to Travelocity and imports new bookings, modifications and cancellations. Changes to settings go with the next update, see Updates and changes.
Multiple rates
Travelocity can set up several rate IDs per room, each with its own booking conditions, and Beds24 can send a different price to each one. See Map channel rate codes. If you don't have the rate IDs you need, ask Travelocity to add them.
Price multiplier
To mark your prices up or down, or convert the currency, add * and the multiplier to your hotel ID. For example, 123456*12.34 multiplies all prices sent for hotel ID 123456 by 12.34. See Price multiplier for all options.
Troubleshooting
Beds24 emails you any error Travelocity returns during an update. For general causes and fixes, see Troubleshooting in How the Channel Manager works. To stop the synchronisation, see Disconnect a channel.
