Listing Setup: Booking.com - initiating the connection

Listing Setup: Booking.com - Setup

In short

Connecting Booking.com to OwnerRez starts inside Booking.com, where you verify your account and select OwnerRez as your connectivity provider. This gives OwnerRez permission to manage your listing through the channel connection. Once the provider request is sent from Booking.com, the connection is finished from inside OwnerRez by linking the matching property.
