Important: To be able to connect apartment type to Siteminder, please add external rates for the apartment types.
How to create an external rate:
- Click on "Rates" in the sidebar and then "External rates".
- Click on "Add new external rate". Choose the property and the apartment type, you want to create an external rate for and enter the required information.
- Name: This is the name of your rate, e.g. "Best Available Rate" or "Non-Refundable Rate". It will be displayed with the given name on the Acomodeo booking portal.
- Description: This will be displayed below the name of your rate. It cannot be longer than two sentences. Example: “Best Available Rate for each night, The price is non refundable etc”
- SiteMinder System: APAC (Asia, Pacific) or EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) - choose the appropriate SiteMinder channel manager environment.
- Payment Method: Prepayment or Guarantee - After booking confirmation, you will receive contact details to agree on a payment method.
