STEP 1: Please complete these items with your Expedia Mark=
et Manager (to be completed by pro=
perty)
Sell Rate- You will sell your rooms to = Expedia at your Standard Rate. There is no negative Net Loading on yo= ur rate. Instead, you will enter a contract with Expedia that will de= fine the percentage of commission you will pay Expedia after the reservatio= n has been checked-out.
Net Rate- This is also referred to as E= xpedia=E2=80=99s Merchant Model. (If you want to sell on Travelocity,= you have to participate on this program.) You will sell your rooms = =E2=80=9Cwholesale=E2=80=9D to Expedia by negatively net loading your Stand= ard Rate. This is done in your MyPMS Agent Relationships. You w= ill need to discount your room approximately 20-25% (-20 or -25 in the Net = Loading column). Expedia will not charge you a commission in the rear= of the reservation. Instead they will sell your room for what they c= an get and keep the difference.
NOTE: If you are a= lready 'live' in Expedia, it is VERY important that you continue to manage = the Expedia Partner Central manually until you hear that the BookingCenter = interface has been 'certified' by Expedia. A closing message will be = updated to your Support Ticket to denote the time when the interface is com= pleted. At that time, the rate and availability will come from Bookin= gCenter. However, until you hear from us, Expedia will be pulling rat= es and availability from the Expedia Partner Central. These reservati= ons will not automatically download into your BookingCenter software.
Once you have finished setup steps, you need to establish BookingCenter = as your system provider.
