Master Agents:
The BookingCenter PMS system automatically provides four Master Agent Channels by default. These agents control the availability and rates to your basic channels: frontdesk, members area, website and GDS (if activated). They must have Room and Rate allocations in order to function properly and are automatically populated with the Room Types and Rate Plans you setup in your system.
There are two standard channels used to sell online These channels must have subscriptions and be activated before the will be live online and be able to accept bookings.
The other channels that sell online are either added by you (MyPMS Agents) or added when you sign up for an OTA Contract Rate Program.
PMS Agents :These are agents that you have set up in the My Agents area.
Agent BUT: Choose the Agent BUT and follow the steps above to manage the allocations to your buuteeq website
Net Rate Agents: These agents will only be visible if you have signed up for a Contract Program with a major OTA such as Expedia, Booking.com, etc.Each channel must be managed individually.
