# Expedia

## Prerequisites

* Expedia Partner Central access with 2FA
* Rooms and rates ready in Hostel Mate

## 1) Enable Connectivity in Expedia

1. Log in to Expedia Partner Central
2. Go to Rooms and Rates > Connectivity Settings
3. Complete any two‑factor prompts
4. Choose Channex for Connectivity and Bookings

## 2) Finalize in Hostel Mate

1. Open Channel Manager in Hostel Mate
2. Select Expedia and authenticate if required
3. Map rooms and rate plans

## Verify and Test

* Make a small rate change and confirm it appears on Expedia
* Turn off any remaining iCal feeds to avoid overwriting data

## Troubleshooting

* Can’t see Connectivity Settings: check your role/permissions
* Prices not updating: check the mapping, then run a [Full Sync](/channel-mapping-guides/full-sync.md)

## Last step: pull your existing bookings

The connection only delivers *new* bookings. The reservations already on the platform need to come across too, otherwise your other channels keep selling beds that are taken. See [Pull Future Reservations](/channel-mapping-guides/pull-future-reservations.md) — it's one click and it's the step people skip.
