How to connect and map to Hotel Trader

You will need to have your direct contract with Hotel Trader for your property, please sign up with them and upload all your details and images etc.

Once the property is ready to connect please ask the support in the messaging inside the Extranet to connect to Channex.

## Create the Hotel Trader Channel

Go to the channels tab and click on "Create"

Test Connection - This button will check if we have access to that property in Hotel Trader, if there is an error please check your property ID. You might need to ask Hotel Trader support to check if Channex is connected.

## Mapping

Click the mapping tab if the test button is a success, this will bring up mapping table.

Example:
