Before connecting with Booking.com
Before setting up the connection with Channel PRO, it's important to complete two preliminary steps:
Have a direct agreement with Booking.com: you must contact them to formalize your account as a partner.
Obtain your Legal Entity ID: this number identifies your Booking.com account (not each property). You will find it in your extranet, and if it doesn't exist, you must request it from Booking.com.
👉 Helpful tip: without these requirements, the connection won't be possible. Make sure to resolve them in advance to avoid delaying activation.
