BOOKING.COM synth or channel manager

Hi Datahell,

Have you seen this? https://news.booking.com/bookingcom-launches-new-content-api-for--accommodations-channel-managers-and-content-providers/

This blog for developers can be interesting too: https://blog.booking.com/

Perhaps it can help with Booking.com synth for IOSR Hotels.

Thanks

This is for sending content to booking.com, meaning rooms description, images, etc. Not for bookings.

Thanks a lot

Here is described a very interesting synth method with ICAL that a wp plugin uses

I currently develop IOS AERO which is a new IOS Reservation extension for booking appointments, events, tickets, etc. Afterwards I have planned to release a new version for IOS Rentals. IOSR Hotels has stayed back in development. The goal is to change it completely and re-design it from scratch based on the IOS Rentals/IOS AERO technology (plus compatibility with Elxis 5.x only). So looking for extending the current version of IOSR Hotels by adding some new functionality is out of the scope of my intentions.

Hi, It looks great.

Can I be a beta tester for Aero?

Anyway, perhaps, after all the work you have planned you could check iCal Synthc for Booking.com, Agoda, Tripadvisor and so on. Sadly it is a feature all hoteliers demand nowadays and I think this new technology makes it easy for not having to deal with channel managers...

Please, have a look when you have some time:

IOS AERO has Google Calendar integration. The integration is not fully automatic but works fine. You click the link to add the event to your calendar and IOS AERO provides the required data pre filled-in. Then you just click save.
