Expedia direct connect subchannel codes
Expedia direct connect provides subchannel mapping codes to represent various Expedia points of sale in your PMS system. These codes help you identify where bookings originated and distinguish between different Expedia booking models.
Point of sale represents where the booking originated from in Expedia terminology. In CRS terms, this functions as a sub-channel code that travels to your PMS as the channel identifier.
📌Note: Hotels may map channel or subchannel codes from the CRS to their PMS. Contact the support team [email protected] if you do not have access to verify your PMS mapping.
