In the introduction email we have sent you, we provided you with all tools you need to develop your connection towards Smarthotel. With that email you received the following:
As all information is now complete, it is time to start programming the connection with our API. On this page all necessary specifications can be found and we support several different scenarios. In case you are not sure about which set of specifications to use, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will advise you.
In case you support functionality which we haven’t developed, please contact us to see how we can help you out. It might be that we have the functionality already but not yet support it through the API or that we need to do some small adjustments in our application.
In case you have any questions or remarks please do not hesitate to contact us.
In case you have implemented the OTA specifications, you will receive rate and availability updates from us.
Please forward us your endpoints as we will need to implement these in the database for you and start your services.
In case you don’t send us any endpoints, no testing or certification can be done.
Next step is to test your implementation.
You have a test hotel in our sandbox, here you can either send rates and availability to, retrieve it and send or pick up reservations.
As soon as you are happy with the way everything works you can request a certification.
The final step to get your implementation to our production environment is certification. During this certification we will test the quality of your implementation, see if all message types are implemented correctly and check which functionalities you have implemented. If all is good, we will provide you with endpoints and an Apikey for production environment. In case you have customers waiting already we can start with connecting 1 or 2 as a pilot. In case you haven’t we can help you to find one or two customers to pilot.
