Introduction
Distribution channels are online platforms, OTAs, metasearch tools, booking engines, and other travel partners where your property can sell inventory outside of Cloudbeds PMS. When a channel is connected, Cloudbeds PMS uses the channel manager to send supported rates, availability, and restrictions to the channel and receive reservations back into your account.
Use this article as a directory to find the distribution channels supported by Cloudbeds PMS and understand how each channel connection starts.
For an easier way to find a specific channel, open all foldable sections first, then use Ctrl+F or Cmd+F on Mac to search by channel name within this article.
Before you connect a distribution channel
Before you start a connection, confirm that your property is active on the channel and that your rooms are already configured in the channel's extranet. Then, review your rates and availability in Cloudbeds PMS because the information may be sent to the channel when the connection is activated.
Each channel has its own connection requirements and estimated activation time. Some channels can be activated directly, while others require approval or support from the channel account manager.
