How to create a Priceline/Agoda Listing from within Cloudbeds PMS

Follow

If you do not have a listing on Priceline/Agoda yet and you would like to create one, you can do it without leaving Cloudbeds PMS (Cloudbeds PMS). Please check all the details below.

We only send the data as it exists at the time of submission - once your Priceline/Agoda Listing was created, you can not edit your content on Cloudbeds anymore. All future edits must be done on your Priceline/Agoda extranet directly.

If you have already manually created an account on Priceline/Agoda extranet for your property, you cannot move forward with the setup in Cloudbeds PMS. In this case, log in to your Priceline/Agoda extranet and continue the setup there.

Getting Started

  1. Under Channel Distribution section, click on Channels
  2. Search for Priceline/Agoda and click on Create New Listing

Create your Priceline/Agoda Listing

  1. Select your property type

Priceline/Agoda requires different information for Vacation Rentals versus non-Vacation Rental property types, and we adjust the setup process based on your selection.
