Connection guide
Connecting Fincahotels with the Channel Manager
1. To connect the Fincahotels channel with our Channel Manager WooDoo, it only takes a few simple steps.
First, you need to go to WOODOO section, inside the WuBook extranet
On the left you will find the section YOUR CHANNELS to manage your portals/OTA, while on the right you will find the section AVAILABLE CHANNELS, the menu where you can add new booking portals.
2. Click on the + next to AVAILABLE CHANNELS: a list of all the OTAs integrated with WooDoo and, therefore, potentially connectable to our Channel Manager will appear. Select Fincahotels from the list of channels and click on the small orange + next to the channel name:
The Fincahotels Channel will now be added in the column YOUR CHANNELS.
3. Click on "Fincahotels".
A screen will open: enter the required credentials provided by OTA specifically for the connection with the Channel Manager.
A window will open indicating that the activation is in progress, and that your request is being processed. Wait until the channel is activated. As soon as it is ready for configuration, you will receive an email notification.
Now log out and login from your WuBook account, and then return to the channel page (Woodoo-Channels-Fincahotels).
Click now on CONFIGURE and YES, I WANT TO RECONFIGURE THIS CONNECTION.
4. Scroll down now the screen to the ROOMS ASSOCIATION section. Here, you need to map each room created with Fincahotels with the corresponding WuBook room and save.
NB: The same room should not be mapped more than once in this table.
5. Next to each room, you must assign a WuBook room for each occupancy. If you always want to send the same price for the different occupancies, you can always associate the same room.
If you want to indicate different prices per occupancy, you can create in WuBook new virtual rooms (with price anchorage) and associate them.
☞ Docs: Virtual Rooms - WuBook
☞ Docs: Anchorage - Derived room prices
Once finished, click on SAVE.
6. Once saved, go down to the RATES MANAGEMENT section. Here you can associate the rate plans and the WuBook restriction plans to sell on Fincahotels.
7. If you wish, in the table EXTRA GUESTS you can specify a price for extra guests.
8. Scroll down to the PREFERENCES section and click on Save.
If you want the closures you set in the WUBOOK RESTRICTIONS plan always to be respected and prevail over any restrictions plan, leave the tick.
9. At this point, the Fincahotels configuration will be completed, and in the WOODOO-CHANNELS section, you will see the green icon on the right side of the channel name. It means that the channel is correctly configured and active:
The activation of a channel is a procedure that can be done autonomously by Wubook users. Still, if it's been a long time since your training and even following the instructions on this page, you don't feel confident to proceed, ask for assistance from the WuBook staff who will be happy to help you.
