STEP #2 Confirm the Booking.com Installation Date with RoomKeyPMS Interface Specialist

If your Installation Date is scheduled after your RoomKeyPMS Cutover/Go-Live, or otherwise leaves you to operate your hotel without an active Booking.com direct connect interface; you must manually mange your rates and availability using Booking.com Extranet and manually enter guest bookings into RoomKeyPMS.

The purpose of this call between the RoomKeyPMS Interface Specialist and Booking.com will be to activate and test the interface connection. Once completed, your Booking.com Direct Connect Interface will be live with RoomKeyPMS and you will see the following:
- Rates and availability appear in the Booking.com Extranet
- New reservations booked on the Booking.com website will appear in RoomKeyPMS
