Mapping Your Inventory
When you add inventory to your property on the Extranet — rooms, restaurants, spas, meeting rooms, activities, and more — that inventory becomes available across the Wink ecosystem. This guide explains how the pieces connect.
The inventory flow
Section titled “The inventory flow”Extranet (you create) → Booking Engine (travelers see) → Studio (affiliates sell)- You create inventory on the Extranet — room types, facilities, and experiences.
- Travelers browse that inventory on the booking engine through shareable links, cards, or direct searches.
- Affiliates discover your inventory on Studio, create cards and grids, and sell it to their audience.
Room types
Section titled “Room types”Room types are the core of your inventory. Each room type needs:
- A name and description.
- Bed configuration(s).
- Maximum occupancy (adults and children).
- Room-specific amenities.
- Photos.
- At least one rate plan with master rates.
Without rates, a room type exists but won’t be bookable.
Facilities and experiences
Section titled “Facilities and experiences”Beyond rooms, you can list:
| Inventory type | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant | On-site dining | ”Rooftop Bar & Grill” |
| Spa | Wellness services | ”Serenity Spa - 60min massage” |
| Meeting room | Event and conference space | ”Boardroom A - 20 pax” |
| Activity | Things to do at or near property | ”Guided snorkeling tour” |
| Attraction | Notable nearby places | ”National Museum - 500m” |
| Place | Interesting locations | ”Local market” |
| Add-on | Extras purchasable with a room | ”Airport transfer” |
Each facility type has its own section in the Extranet. Affiliates can sell any of these individually — a traveler might discover your property through a spa listing rather than a room search.
How affiliates use your inventory
Section titled “How affiliates use your inventory”On Studio, affiliates can:
- Search for your property or individual inventory items.
- Create cards — A single bookable card for a room, spa treatment, or activity.
- Create grids — A collection of cards shown together.
- Create maps — Location-based markers that show bookable inventory.
- Share links — Direct URLs to your property or specific items.
The more complete and varied your inventory, the more ways affiliates can promote your property.
- Be thorough — List everything your property offers. Each item is a potential entry point for a booking.
- Use good photos — Every inventory item should have at least one high-quality image.
- Keep descriptions fresh — Update descriptions when you change offerings or seasonally.
- Price everything — Inventory without pricing can be browsed but not booked.
