Quieres conectar tu PMS o Motor de Reservas a nuestro Channel Manager para poder gestionar tus ventas online vía API?
Te enseñamos cómo hacerlo...
En pocas palabras: deberás utilizar la API Wired para implementar la conexión entre tu sistema (PMS o Motor) y el Channel Manager de WooDoo.
＠ Web: WuBook Technical Doc > Wired
Después de implementar la conexión, podrás actualizar WooDoo con precios, disponibilidad y restricciones.
Y podrás recuperar reservas de Woodoo.
Desde tu cuenta de Woodoo, podrás conectar Booking, Expedia u otras OTAs para que Woodoo actualice tus extranets (con Precio, Disponibilidad, Restricciones) y recupere las reservas.
NOTA: Las actualizaciones que recibiremos de tu sistema y las que enviamos a las OTA solo incluyen precios, disponibilidad y restricciones (como "Estancia mínima").
Aparte de algunas pocas excepciones, NO es posible ACTUALIZAR contenido como imágenes de habitaciones, políticas de cancelación, descripciones, etc.
Lee lo siguiente para obtener información detallada.
A- Condiciones preliminares
- Lee la sección “Wired API” de nuestra documentación técnica:
＠ Web: WuBook Technical Doc > Wired
- Contáctanos para habilitar el uso de la API enviando un correo electrónico a: help-wired@wubook.net
- Crea una cuenta de WooDoo que actualizarás desde tu sistema y te conectarás más tarde a las OTAs
＠ Web: Suscripción a WooDoo
NOTA: Las provider key identifican a un proveedor, no a sus clientes: por lo que un solo PMS (o BE...) necesita solo una provider key para TODOS sus clientes.
Cada propiedad de tus clientes estará identificada por su “lcode” (también llamado “ID”) que puedes obtener de cada perfil de cuenta:
B- Establish connection “ Your system ↔ WooDoo”
B-1 Authentication
To know more about API authentication, that is how to use of token and how to use Lcode (Lodging code, the property identifier) please read our technical DOC:
Rooms can be created manually from the Woodoo account:
☞ Docs: WooDoo - How to create a room
And fetch later into your software using the command:
fetch_rooms(token, lcode, ancillary=0)
Or using the API:
new_room(token, lcode, woodoo, name, beds, defprice, avail, etc... )
B-3 Update of price
We recommend you to use “daily plans”, and the following function:
update_plan_prices(token, lcode, pid, dfrom, prices)
You can check if the updates are ok by looking into the Tabla (calendar) of Woodoo. Tabla is the calendar used as reference to send data to the OTAs.
↳ Useful links: WooDoo > Rates > Tabla
☞ Docs: WooDoo - Tabla
C- Establish connection “WooDoo ↔ OTA”
Usually, the connection to OTAs has to be done manually from each customer account from WooDoo > Channel Manager section.
To connect manually a channel to the Woodoo account, please proceed from
↳ Useful links: WooDoo > Channel Manager > Channels
On the right column “available channels” you will have the possibility to select the channels to connect.
On the left column “your channels” you will have possibility to proceed with connection process for the selected channels
See below help section on how to connect a new channel:
☞ Docs: Woodoo - Acquiring a Channel
☞ Docs: WooDoo - Configuring a Channel
Exceptions: for Booking.com and Expedia, we offer also the possibility to manage some functions via API.
The manual connection is always possible and recommended if a provider hasn't many customers to connect.
We have specific more detailed sections in our Knowledgebase on how to connect Booking and Expedia:
☞ Docs: WooDoo - Booking.com™
☞ Docs: WooDoo - Expedia
NB. The data sent to the OTAs are the ones present in the Tabla: that means we are sending for each room type: Availability, Price, Restrictions.
We are NOT sending static content like photos, descriptions, cancellation policies, etc...
This content has to be updated directly from each OTA extranet.
D- Fetch reservations from WooDoo to Your System
Once connection established between Woodoo and OTAs, the reservations will be visible in section
https://wubook.net/bookings/bookings/
↳ Useful links: WooDoo > Reservations > Reservations
You can fetch the reservations present in Woodoo by using following functions:
fetch_new_bookings(token, lcode[, ancillary= 0, mark= 1])
We recommend you to enable the push function in order to be informed when a new reservation arrives.
push_activation(token, lcode, url[, test= 0])
