Channel Manager Integrations
Wink integrates with leading channel managers, property management systems (PMS), and central reservation systems (CRS) to keep your rates and availability synchronized across all your sales channels.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”Channel manager integrations enable a two-way flow of data between your property management system and Wink:
- Rate push — Your channel manager sends rate updates to Wink. When you update your pricing in your PMS, those changes are automatically reflected on Wink.
- Availability sync — Your channel manager sends availability updates to Wink. When rooms are booked or released in your PMS, Wink’s inventory updates in real time.
- Booking notifications — When a booking is made on Wink, your channel manager is notified so the reservation appears in your PMS.
