Objective
The purpose of this document is provide a high-level overview of the commonalities, and differences, between configuring channels with the new Boost interface.
What Gets Configured
All configurations are done on a channel-by-channel basis. That means things like fees, taxes, and amenities will have to be setup for each channel (i.e. if you are distributing to 3 channels, you will map amenities 3 times). When making configurations changes, you are only impacting one channel at a time.
How To Get Started
Channel-By-Channel Configurations
For each channel you will see a common set of tabs that need to be configured on the left hand side of the page. In the upper left corner you will see what channel you are currently configuring.
Channel specific Settings will include things like Merchant Name, Accepted Payment Types, Booking Policy’s, etc.
These Fee Mapping, Tax Mapping, and Amenity articles will further outline some of the considerations for completing those configurations.
Fee, Tax, and Amenity mappings will be done at a global level, meaning these are settings that impact all listings distributed on that channel. Some settings like booking policies, content, and price modifications can be modified under the Listings tab for individual, or groups, of units. This article here will outline more information about these sorts of bulk configuration settings.
