How to connect to OpenGDS - Booking Channel Hub

Modified on Mon, 4 Aug at 1:17 PM

OpenGDS is a hub for OTA channels that allows certain channels (usually smaller ones) to connect "directly" with RoomRaccoon.

How to connect?

If you don’t yet have an OpenGDS account, please register here.

Important: During registration, make sure to select: We would like to get in touch with more partners.

This ensures the third party channels can see your account as soon as it’s created.

Once your OpenGDS account is set up(or if you already have it), please set RoomRaccoon as your channel manager in OpenGDS.

We would also recommend that you create new rates in RoomRaccoon for each channel that you would like to connect via OpenGDS. It is optional for you to create additional rates such as: weekend 2 nights, long weekend 3 nights, mid week 4 nights and week 7 nights.

Your rate structure is always important, so make sure that only the occupancy is derived when you create these rates!

The rate structure should look something like this:

After you have set RoomRaccoon as your Channel Manager and completed your rate set up in RoomRaccoon,  please follow the connection request flow in Rocco,  to confirm which RoomRaccoon categories and rates you’d like us to connect.
