About myallocator
Back to top
Myallocator is a hotel channel manager allowing you to automatically synchronize the availability and rates of your properties to dozens of channels. Manage inventory across multiple channels, including Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and more.
For a complete list of myallocator-supported channels, please visit their website. |
MyAllocator is a channel manager that lets you update pricing and availability across multiple websites from one place. It lets you sell the same bed on Hostelworld, Booking, HostelsClub, etc. at the same time until someone makes a booking on one of the sites. Then it updates your inventory and removes that bed from all the other sites so you don't get overbookings.
Cloudbeds is their PMS (property management system) that is used to run your hostel. It keeps track of guest information, bed assignments, housekeeping status, etc.
Integration Overview
Back to topThe Checkfront integration allows you to distribute inventory from your Checkfront account to different Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) and then back to Checkfront as an external booking.
When a booking is made on your website or through one of your channel websites, the available inventory is adjusted across all the other platforms!
To start using myallocator with Checkfront, you must first update a few settings in myallocator and then authorize the Checkfront integration to connect with your myallocator account.
