Configuration

Once Installation is finished, the admin has to set up the Cron Job then Seller can configure his Myallocator Connector at the front-end.

Click on Configure button to configure the module

Cron Job Setting

To sync your seller bookings with Myallocator admin will have to ask his hosting provider to set up the cron job on his server.

As per Myallocator Channel Manager guideline, we strongly suggest that you set the cron for 31 minutes. By doing this your booking data will be fetched from myallocator at every 31 minutes.

The admin has to set a cron task by entering the link generated by the system. So that if there are any bookings in the Myallocator, then those changes will get updated on a server when a cron runs.

You have to replace the string “www.sitename.com” with your site link

Now the seller can set up the module from his end

Once you click on Myallocator, you will be taken to the Setup Page. On this page, you will have to enter your Myallocator Credentials

When you select yes in Sync data from Myallocator to QloApps then the properties created in Myallocator will be imported to QloApps.

Note: This feature will only work when you have no property in QloApps Marketplace while importing properties from Myallocator and vice versa.

For an example: I do not have any property in QloApps

But I have created a property in Myallocator.

When I configured the Module with “Sync data from Myallocator” option ON then my Myallocator properties will be created in QloApps automatically.

And the room types will also be imported

And these properties will automatically get mapped also.

Room Types also get mapped automatically

After entering the credential the system will ask you if you want to synchronize the Myallocator Properties and Room types to QloApps Marketplace.

If you select yes in these fields and click on Sync, the properties and room types created on Myallocator will be imported to your Seller’s Account automatically so that you can Map the properties and room types.

Property Mapping

After completing the configuration the next step is to Map the QloApps Marketplace properties and MyAllocator Properties.

Click on Map Property in the Mapping section for mapping your properties

Now select the QloApps and the Myallocator Properties which you want to map. After selecting the properties click on Map Property button.

After you click on Map Property button, you can see the list of Mapped Properties.

Room Type Mapping

For the room type mapping, click on the Room Type Mapping Button in the Mapped Property list for the property you want to map the room types.

Now select the room type of QloApps Property and room type of Myallocator Property which you desire to map and then click on Map Roomtype Button

Once you click on Map Roomtype, the mapped room types will start displaying in the list
