About TripAdvisor Connect
Back to topCheckfront's TripAdvisor Connect add-on enables you to add real-time availability, pricing, and booking as part of your TripAdvisor listing.
Rather than customers finding your listing on TripAdvisor and being directed to book via a channel such as Booking.com or Expedia, a link can now appear on TripAdvisor that takes them directly to your Checkfront powered booking page. Subsequently, you avoid the commission taken by channels (TripAdvisor only charges a fee per click) and control the full booking experience!
Checkfront does not charge extra for this service. TripAdvisor will charge a CPC (cost per click) fee when sending customers to your booking page. The actual cost is determined by TripAdvisor on a per listing basis.
You are not charged any extra by TripAdvisor when potential customers simply view your TripAdvisor listing, only when they are sent to make a booking by clicking on the link.

Enable Conversion Tracking
TripAdvisor offers a conversion tracking solution to help hotels track the revenue from advertising on TripAdvisor.
Hotels can view this calculated revenue in their Management Center page on TripAdvisor.
In order to enable this functionality for their hotel clients, and to be certified as a Plus Partner, partners must configure their websites to notify TripAdvisor of any booking that occurs as a result of a lead sent by TripAdvisor. By checking this box in the Checkfront setup window you are enabling us to complete that task for you.
