Frequently Asked Questions

A channel manager is software that connects your property to multiple online booking sites (OTAs) such as Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia. It automatically synchronizes your room availability, rates and restrictions across every connected channel in real time, ensuring guests always see accurate information and that you never take the same booking twice.

When a guest books on one channel, the channel manager detects the reservation, marks those dates as unavailable, and pushes the updated availability to all other connected OTAs within seconds. Rate changes you make in the dashboard are also distributed automatically, so you always have consistent pricing everywhere.

Yes. The channel manager connects to Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and over 50 other booking platforms. Setup typically takes just a few minutes per channel — you link your existing OTA account and the sync starts immediately.

A property management system (PMS) is your central hub for managing reservations, guest check-ins, rates and reports. A channel manager connects that hub to online booking sites, distributing your availability and rates to OTAs. LodgeHog combines both: its PMS and channel manager work together out of the box so you manage everything from one place.

A channel manager distributes your availability and rates to OTAs like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Expedia, keeping them in sync automatically. A booking engine lets guests book directly on your own website — without going through any OTA and without paying commission. They complement each other: the channel manager fills rooms through OTAs while the booking engine drives commission-free direct bookings.

No — the channel manager is fully integrated with the LodgeHog PMS. This deep integration is what allows reservations from any OTA to land directly in your calendar and for rate changes to push outward automatically. It is more reliable than adding a standalone channel manager on top of a separate PMS.

As soon as a reservation comes in from any connected channel, the system marks the affected room as unavailable and sends the updated availability to all other OTAs in real time. The typical sync completes in under 1 second. You can also set a safety buffer of one or more rooms per room type for extra margin.

Most OTA connections are set up in under 10 minutes. You log in to your OTA extranet, enter the credentials provided, and the channel manager takes over from there. Our support team is available to guide you through any channel that requires extra steps.
