Connecting Your Hotel to Booking Channels Using the Channel Manager

The following article is designed to walk you through the process of connecting your hotel to booking channels such as Booking.com and Expedia using the Wix Channel Manager.

• Wix works with HotelRunner to provide hotel integration. This service costs $15 per month and comes with a 14-day free trial.

• If you have an issue connecting please contact HotelRunner. There are some channels including Booking.com which require you to contact them to complete set up (you can do this via the chat bubble in the Channel Manager tab).

• Any changes you make to the Channel Manager must be done through your Wix account. Do not sign in from Hotelrunner.com to try to make updates, as it may cause discrepancies with rates and availability to external channels.
