Edit prices and rooms to sell for each room type and rate plan across a date range, in a calendar grid built for daily use.
Hotel channel manager
A hotel channel manager that keeps your website ahead of the OTAs
Manage rates, availability and restrictions for your OTA channels from one calendar. Then decide how many rooms each channel gets, so the last rooms on busy nights sell on your own website.
- One calendar for every channel
- Room caps per channel, room type and date
- Updates queued and retried automatically
OTA channel manager
One calendar for rates, availability and restrictions
Stop logging in to one extranet after another. Change a rate or close a date once in RapidSync, and the update goes out to your connected OTA channels.
Restrictions
Stop-sell, closed to arrival, closed to departure, and minimum and maximum length of stay — per date.
Inventory blocks
Block rooms for maintenance, a wedding group or owner use, and availability updates everywhere.
Room caps per channel
Set a channel room limit per room type and per date. OTAs see the capped number; your booking engine sells the full pool.
Queued and retried
Updates are queued and sent in the background, and retried automatically if a channel does not accept them first time.
Audit log
Every change to rates, inventory and reservations is recorded, so you always know who changed what and when.
What makes RapidSync different
Most channel managers push one price everywhere.
RapidSync lets your website sell cheaper than the OTAs and keep the last rooms. Your booking engine is treated as its own channel, with its own price and its own inventory.
| Capability | Typical channel manager | RapidSync |
|---|---|---|
| Price on your own website | Same rate as every OTA | Direct-only discount per rate plan, with per-date overrides |
| Rooms sent to OTAs | The full inventory | Capped per room type and date — the rest stay direct |
| Booking engine | A separate product to integrate | Built in, in the same calendar |
| Payments and GST invoices | Handled elsewhere | Razorpay checkout and GST invoices included |

FAQ
Channel manager questions
What is a hotel channel manager?
A hotel channel manager is software that sends your rates, availability and restrictions to the OTAs you sell on from one place, so you do not have to update each OTA extranet by hand, which is slow and can lead to overbooking.
Which OTA channels can I connect?
OTA connectivity is set up with you during onboarding, based on the channels your property already sells on. Tell us which OTAs you use and we will confirm the connection options for your hotel.
Can I limit how many rooms each OTA channel can sell?
Yes. You can set a channel room limit per room type and override it for specific dates. OTA channels see only the capped number of rooms, while your booking engine can still sell the full pool.
What happens if an OTA update fails?
Every rate and availability change is queued and sent in the background, so saving in the calendar is never held up by a slow channel. If a channel does not accept an update, RapidSync retries it automatically.
Which plan includes the channel manager?
The channel manager is part of the Professional and Enterprise plans, together with the booking engine and hotel website. Contact us for a quote for your property.
