Introduction
A channel manager is software that allows your property to directly connect with various OTAs. With this tool, you can easily update rates, allotment, availability, restrictions.

Channel Manager Options
With hoteliga you can choose among three channel manager options:
- the hoteliga Channel Manager, the most integrated solution with direct certified connections
- Parity Rate, an affordable channel manager
- SiteMinder, a very popular channel manager
After choosing the right channel manager for you, you need to decide the way that data will be synchronized between hoteliga PMS and the OTAs. The following options exist:
- One-way connection. The OTA only sends reservations to the hoteliga PMS, nothing else. Choose this option if you are used to manage prices/rates from the OTA's extranet.
- Two-way connection. The OTA sends reservations to the hotelia PMS, and at the same time the hoteliga PMS sends room allotment, room rate/type availability, prices and restrictions to the OTA. This is the full and most complete connection one can get.
