The Profitroom channel manager integration provides global distribution of your properties' rates and availability, direct from Mews Operations. You can set up this integration in Mews Operations and update rates, availability, and restrictions in Profitroom, to receive reservations in Mews Operations. This channel manager is a two-way connection, meaning that Mews Operations manages availability, rates, and restrictions, while Profitroom 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 any problems fixing the mapping errors within Mews, contact the Mews support team to help you troubleshoot.
- Make sure to purchase Profitroom before connecting this integration.
- This integration does not support Closed to Arrival, Closed to Departure and Maximum length of stay restrictions.
- This integration works in a gross pricing environment only.
- This integration does not support the Senior citizen age category. If you use age categories when receiving reservations, you need to leave the Senior citizen age category unchecked. You can learn more about channel manager age category mapping here.
