The Agoda content flow is similar to the mapping flow of Booking.com, so the new enhancements will be familiar.
Agoda Content Integration offers a range of Mapping Options:
Map to an existing Agoda listing - you have an active Agoda listing and want to manage platform through Channel Manager
Create a new listing (Property) - This will create a new listing on Agoda, applies when you are new to Agoda, no current listing with Agoda.
Create a new room type - active listing managed within Channel manager and you want to add a new room type category
Create a new rate plan and link to an existing room type - creating a new rate offer (i.e Non refundable offer, and link to a existing room type already managed through connection)
Manage content for an existing Agoda listing - managing ARR through Channel manager integration, and wanting to manage content through Channel manager)

An email with instructions on where to sign the Agoda contract will be sent to the registered reservation email address set in Channel Manager. The user has to login to Channel Manager to accept Agoda contract. Please note the 'Sign Contract' button is only visible to property login user.
It is possible to continue with mapping without accepting the contract. Please note however, unless the contract is accepted, the Agoda listing will not go LIVE on the customer site.
