Closeouts - Set channel specific inventory blocks

On the Closeouts page, you can stop selling your inventory on selected channels for a specific period of time. This article will guide you through creating closeouts (blocks) and editing or removing existing ones.

  Adding a closeout using the steps below will ONLY close inventory on the selected channels. You will still have inventory on your Cloudbeds Booking Engine and within the Cloudbeds PMS system for direct bookings.

Create a channel closeout

In the Distribution Distribution icon.png page,

  1. Open the tab
  2. Click to add closeout
  3. Select the channels to be closed
  4. Select the room types to be blocked
  5. Add a date range: select the period of time and the specific days of the week within that period to be blocked.
  6. Add closeout

If you have connected a channel and it does not appear on the drop-down list, it means that we do not yet support sending closeouts to this channel.

  • You may add several closeouts for different periods, channels, and rooms (for example, for low and high seasons).

Manage your channel closeouts

In the Closeouts list, you can:

  1. Click to edit 
  2. Click to delete
  3. Select multiple closeouts for bulk action
  4. Filter the existing closeouts configured by range, channel, room type, and status.
