The Viato channel manager integration provides global distribution of your properties' rates and availability directly from Mews Operations. You can set up this integration in Mews Operations and update rates, availability, and restrictions in Viato, to receive reservations in Mews Operations. This channel manager is a two-way connection, meaning that Mews Operations manages availability, rates, and restrictions, while Viato pushes reservations into Mews Operations.
Note:
- If you're already live with Mews, Mews does not configure the entire channel manager integrations for you. If you have problems fixing the mapping errors within Mews, contact the Mews Support Team to help you troubleshoot.
- Make sure to have a contract with Viato before connecting this integration.

Map channel manager age categories (optional)
This step is optional. You should only complete this if you want reservations from the channel manager to include age category information.
To receive reservations with age categories through your channel manager and correctly allocate each guest with a respective age category, you need to map them in the channel manager age category mapping.
To map channel manager age categories, follow the steps in the article here.
Step 2: Send mapping information to Viato
You need to contact Viato Support to set up the mapping. Viato Support then provides the necessary information to complete the mapping process and maps everything for you.
Once complete, proceed to the next step.
Step 3: Test the integration
Testing the integration allows you to check whether you configured the integration correctly. You can test this with a small set of reservations for the next 7 days.
To test the integration, complete step 4 in the article here.
Step 4: Enable the integration
