Warnings

  • Use the same email in Channex that you used to sign up on Hopper.
  • Do not delete the channel after creating it. Hopper won’t let you reconnect the same account, and you’ll need to create a brand new Hopper account with a new email.

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.
