Second, in order to map your Checkfront Account and items/products to GetYourGuide, you need to make note of your Checkfront company ID as well as the item/product IDs for all the items/products you wish to map.

The following should help you gather that information!

 

Make note of your company ID. This can be found within the GetYourGuide Setup modal (Manage > Integrations > Channel Management > GetYourGuide).

 

You can find the item/product ID within your Inventory (Inventory > Items or Inventory > Products) list. If the ID column is not included by default, then you can add it from the Columns option at the top-right of the Inventory list.

Reference your Inventory list from the browser when mapping your GetYourGuide products or export the list for use outside of Checkfront.

 

GetYourGuide is best suited for... Tours and activities. Allocations per day/night, flextime, or timeslots, specifically... Timeslots for tours or activities that start at a specific time. Days/nights for tours or activities where the Guest can arrive anytime within Opening/Operating Hours. Hourly items using the Default or Fixed length settings on the item, or flextime for products. For items, if there is not a Default or Fixed duration set, then the item is booked for one hour.  NOTE: Timeslots must also be exactly 1 hour in length. At this time, the integration does not work with... GetYourGuide add-ons. Checkfront required or optional item packages/item add-ons or product upsells that require the Guest to make additional selections.

Finally, once your GetYourGuide account is sorted, you can start mapping your Checkfront items/products to Product Options in GetYourGuide.

You can map to existing GetYourGuide products or do this during the GetYourGuide product creation process. See the following instructions...
