Hostel channel manager: FAQs
- It keeps your availability and prices in step on every OTA and your direct booking engine. When someone books a bed, we update the other channels so you don’t get double‑booked.
- Typically under a minute. New bookings, cancellations, and price changes are pushed right away so what guests see is what you actually have.
- Yes. Use demand‑based rules like weekend bumps, event surcharges, or last‑minute discounts. Updated rates are sent to all channels automatically.
- It helps. You’ll still pay commission on OTA bookings, but better parity and timely promos encourage more direct bookings so you keep more of the revenue.
- Yes. Our built‑in payments (Stripe or Paddle—your choice) can take deposits and balances, handle city tax, and reconcile automatically.
- Nope. Add your property, map dorms to OTA room types, and turn on sync. Most hostels go live the same day—with a human guiding you on chat or a call.
