You can now connect Bookeasy to Preno’s Channel Manager without needing to contact our support team. This helps you manage availability, rates, and bookings automatically between Bookeasy and Preno.
Step 1: Update settings in Bookeasy
Login to Bookeasy extranet.
Go to Menu > Setup > Channel Manager Access Keys
Delete the existing channel manager connection.
Click on Generate Manager Access Credentials and select OTASwitch from the list. This will generate an access key to use in Preno.
Please take note of your Bookeasy Operator ID, as you will need it for the next step in Preno.
Step 2: Connect Bookeasy in Preno
In Preno, go to Settings > Channel Manager.
In the Channel mappings section, click Add channel.
Select Bookeasy, then click Add. A new tab will open.
In this screen, enter your Bookeasy XML username, XML password and Channel Hotel ID, then click Save. (You don't need to change any other settings).
Step 3: Map your rooms and rate plan
On the Rate plan mapping screen, you will see a list of Bookeasy Room type/Rate plan, along with your Preno Room Type/Rate plan.
You only need to map the (manageable) rate plans.
For each rate plan, select the Preno Room Type and Preno Rate plan then click MAP.
It will ask to set up mapping configuration for specific rate plans. You only need to select the Applicable No Of Guest for the rate plan, then click Save.
Repeat for each rate plan you want to map.
Step 4: Activate the connection
Once the mapping is completed, you need to activate the connection.
Return to channel connection details module
Click on the status and select Active then Save.
This will automatically trigger a full update to the channel.
