Once the connection test is successful, click Submit to establish the channel and proceed with room and rate mapping.

Note: Make sure that the Property ID and Activation Code are entered correctly before testing the connection.

Room and rate mapping establishes a connection between the room types and rate plans configured in QloApps Channel Manager and those available on the Despegar OTA.

Map the following:

• QloApps Room Type with the corresponding Despegar Room Type.
• QloApps Room Rate with the corresponding Despegar Room Rate.

For reference, see the image below:

After completing the mapping, click Save Mapping.

Once the channel has been added successfully and the mapping is completed, the Despegar will appear on the Channel List page.

From the Actions column, users can:

• Edit the channel.
• Delete the channel.

Note: The channel can only be deleted when its status is Disabled.

Users can synchronize the Despegar channel by clicking the Synchronization button.

Synchronization keeps inventory, rates, and bookings updated between QloApps Channel Manager and Despegar.

By clicking Synchronize, the following processes can be performed:

• Rooms and rates are fetched from the channel.
• Bookings are fetched from the channel if Booking Synchronization is enabled.
• Only bookings with an arrival date of today or later are fetched.
• QloApps manages bookings, inventory, and rates based on your selected synchronization options.

When Rate Synchronization is enabled, the rates configured for the rate plans in QloApps are sent to the Despegar.

When you enable Inventory Synchronization, QloApps sends room availability to Despegar.

When Booking Synchronization is enabled, bookings are fetched from Despegar and inventory is updated based on booking notifications received from the channel.

Once you synchronized the channel successfully then you can proceed further for Price And Inventory In the QloApps Channel Manager.

This was all from the process of setting up Despegar for the QloApps Channel Manager. I hope I was able to clarify it for you.
