Connection Guide

Connecting HostelGalaxy with Channel Manager

1. To connect the HostelGalaxy channel with our Channel Manager WooDoo, it only takes a few simple steps.

First, you need to go to the CHANNEL MANAGER section within the WooDoo extranet:

On the left, you will find the section YOUR CHANNELS to manage your portals/OTA, while on the right, there is the AVAILABLE CHANNELS section, or the menu to add any 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 HostelGalaxy from the channel list and click on the small orange + next to the channel name:

The HostelGalaxy Channel will now be added in the column YOUR CHANNELS.

3. Click on "HostelGalaxy":

A screen will open: enter the hotel ID provided by OTA, specifically for connection with the Channel Manager:

You will have to wait until the channel is activated. As soon as it is ready for configuration, you will receive a notification email. Now log out and login from your WuBook account, and then return to the channel page (Woodoo-Channel Manager-Channels-Hostelgalaxy).


Click now on CONFIGURE and YES, I WANT TO RECONFIGURE THIS CONNECTION.

4. Scroll down now to the ROOMS ASSOCIATION section. Here, assign to each room created with HostelGalaxy the corresponding WooDoo room and 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 assign the rate plan and the WooDoo restrictions plan for selling on HostelGalaxy.

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 configuration of HOstelgalaxy will be completed. In the CHANNEL MANAGER-CHANNELS section, you will see 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, even with this guide, you do not feel confident to proceed, you can ask for assistance from WuBook staff that will be happy to help you.
