Before connecting to Agoda
Before connecting to Agoda, you will need to make sure you:
Have an account with Agoda and set up your property in Agoda’s extranet.
Create rooms and rates in Agoda’s extranet, and make sure they match the set up in your SiteMinder platform.
Connect “Siteminder RDX” in Agoda’s extranet. Log in to Agoda’s extranet, select ‘SiteMinder RDX’ as your connectivity provider, and take note of the Hotel ID that Agoda has assigned to your property. For more assistance with this step, contact Agoda Support directly.
Connect to Agoda
To connect to Agoda in your SiteMinder platform, follow these steps:
Go to Distribution > Channels > click on Agoda.
Follow the steps to connect.
Once you confirm and click Connect, please wait 24 hours for our support team to confirm the connection with Agoda.
Update Agoda channel settings
Once the connection with Agoda is confirmed and activated, you can update the channel settings in Distribution > Channels > find Agoda and click on the ellipsis button (three dots button) > select Update channel settings.
Agoda supports the following channel settings:
Rate multiplier
Reservation commission percentage — enable this to add the percentage of the reservation’s commission on top of the total reservation amount.
Use reservation sell amount — select “Yes” if you want the reservation to show the sell rate (with commissions included). Select “No” if you only want to receive the net rate (without commissions included).
Use min stay through — if enabled, your SiteMinder platform will send Agoda the minimum stay through instead of the default minimum stay on arrival.
