Connection Guide
Connect Travco with Channel Manager
1. To connect the Travco channel with our Channel Manager WooDoo, it only takes a few simple steps.
First, you need to go to the Channel Manager section, inside WooDoo 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, which is the menu to add any new booking portals to connect.
2. Click on the + next to AVAILABLE CHANNELS:
A list of all the OTAs integrated with WooDoo and potentially connectable to our Channel Manager will appear. Select Travco from the list of channels and click on the small orange + next to the channel name:
The Travco Channel will now be added in the column YOUR CHANNELS.
3. Click on "Travco".
A screen will open: enter the hotel ID provided by OTA.
You will have to wait until the channel is activated. As soon as it is ready for configuration, you will receive an email notification. Now log out and log in from your WuBook account, and then return to the channel page (Woodoo > Channel Manager > Channels > Travco).
Click now on CONFIGURE and YES, I WANT TO RECONFIGURE THIS CONNECTION.
4. Scroll down now to the ROOMS ASSOCIATION section. Here, you have to map each room created with Travco with the corresponding WooDoo room.
Click on SAVE.
NB: The same room should not be mapped more than once in this table.
5. Once saved, go down to the RESTRICTIONS section. Here you can map the rate plan and the WuBook restrictions plan for selling on Travco.
6. 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 honored and override any restrictions plan, leave the tick.
7 At this point, the Travco configuration will be completed. In the CHANNEL MANAGER > CHANNELS section you can display the green icon next to the channel name, meaning that the channel is correctly configured and active:
ATTENTION: the connection phase is the most delicate phase of the configuration. If you do not feel confident to proceed with this guide, you can ask for assistance from the WuBook staff that will be happy to help you.
