Step 3 - Connect Pricetravel to Cloudbeds PMS

In Cloudbeds PMS,

Open Manage (gear icon) page
Go to Channels
Search for Pricetravel and click on Not Setup

Click on Enable Channel

Enter the Hotel ID provided by Pricetravel and click the Request Activation button. This will send an email to the Pricetravel team, asking them to confirm the connection between our systems.

Alternatively, Pricetravel can bypass this Request Activation step in case the Pricetravel team emails the Cloudbeds team directly requesting an activation.

If this happens, then the Cloudbeds support team will work on the channel activation and the you can skip to Step 7: Map the room types.

Once Pricetravel has confirmed the connection (via email reply directly to Cloudbeds), a Cloudbeds Support Team Member will activate the connection on your behalf. You will receive an email once this has been done so that you can complete Room Mapping and other channel setup details.

Map the room types created in Cloudbeds with their corresponding rooms in Pricetravel. A drop-down menu will display all the existing rooms in the channel's extranet.

Do not map multiple rooms to one single room in Cloudbeds PMS or channel. The room mapping must be one-to-one.

For detailed information about the mapping process please check this article: Distribution Channel Mapping Guidelines
