Expedia: how to connect with Moder

If you want to add some of your rooms for sale to Expedia, the integration can be done with Moder through the Beds24 channel management. After that, all reservations from Expedia go directly to Moder, and Expedia reads availability and pricing directly from Moder.

The process proceeds as follows:

1. Create the desired room types/items in your own Expedia channel management account, if they are not already there.
2. Download and complete the "Room mappings for Moder x Expedia" Excel attached to this article. Instructions for filling out Excel can be found inside Excel.
3. Contact Moder's support (support@moder.fi) and tell them that you want to use the Expedia sales channel. At the same time, return the completed room mapping Excel.
4. We will agree a suitable day with you when the integration can be carried out both ways. On the morning of the integration day, we ask that you switch from your own Expedia channel management to Connectivity Provider to Beds24. We strongly recommend that you close the sale to Expedia until you receive confirmation from us that the integration is complete (otherwise, there is a risk of double exposure while Moderia and Expedia are not yet connected via Beds24).
5. We will let you know when the integration is complete. Expedia then reads availability and pricing directly from Moder.

Things to consider with Expedia's pricing:

1.If you use the Per occupancy pricing model in the direction of Expedia, you can only set the additional person fee per night. It is not possible to set an additional person fee per reservation.

2. If price changes have been set for the basic pricing of the object in Moder according to the duration of the reservation (e.g. 10% discount if you stay for at least three nights), these rules will not be transferred directly to Expedia, but must be created separately through your own Expedia channel management.

3. The actual price rules set through Moder will also be transferred to Expedia. It is also possible to set price rules in Moder that only apply to external booking channels (see more detailed instructions on Moder's pricing).

4. When you update prices or price rules in Moder, remember to press the "Update prices to sales channels" button in the upper right corner of Moder's Pricing section; this way the prices are updated faster to the booking channels (usually the delay is from a few minutes to tens of minutes, depending on the booking channel).

5. Moder sends prices to Expedia always one year ahead.
