Expedia Channel Manager Connection Guide

1 min read

To connect Expedia to your Mangobeds property via the Channel Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Request connection from Expedia
    • Log in to the Expedia Extranet and go to Rooms and Rates → Connectivity Settings.
    • Expedia usually requires 2-factor authentication to access this page.
    • Choose Channex for both “Connectivity” and “Bookings.”
  2. Add Expedia channel in Mangobeds
    • Go to Apps → Channel Manager.
    • Click Create to start a new connection.
    • Select Expedia from the channel list.
    • Fill in the required fields:
      • Title: The name you want to call the channel
      • Property: Choose your property from the list
      • Hotel ID: Your Expedia property ID
      • Min Stay Type: Select “Arrival”
    • Click Test Connection — if successful, continue to mapping.
  3. Map rooms and rates
    • On the left, you’ll see your Expedia rooms and rates.
    • On the right, select the Mangobeds accommodation and rate plan to map them.
    • Save when complete.
  4. Activate the connection
    • Go to the channel options and click Activate.
    • A full sync will run, sending all prices, availability, and restrictions to Expedia.

Before you connect any channel

Currency, rates and restrictions are set once for every channel, not per OTA, and it is worth getting them right before you connect. Read the channel manager guide for that setup and for every other channel Mangobeds connects to.
