# Hipcamp

Connecting your Hipcamp account to Hostel Mate is an absolute breeze and keeps all your unique outdoor bookings neatly located in one dashboard!

## Prerequisites

Before we dive into the steps, just make sure you have:

* A fully active Hipcamp account.
* Your specific Hipcamp property ID (you can easily grab this right from your Hipcamp property editor).

## 1) Request the Connection

First up, we need to let the Hipcamp support team know you're linking things up!

1. Quickly shoot an email over to <campgrounds@hipcamp.com> and kindly ask them to enable the channel manager named “Channex”.
2. Remember to include your property ID and your contact details so they can find your account fast.

## 2) Finalize in Hostel Mate

Once Hipcamp gives you the green light on their end, we'll finish things over here:

1. Jump into your Channel Manager tab right inside Hostel Mate.
2. Spot Hipcamp in the channels list, select it, and run through the quick authentication if it prompts you.
3. Smoothly map out your rooms and their rates so everything syncs perfectly!

## Verify and Test

It's always smart to double-check!

* We highly recommend pushing a tiny price adjustment on our end just to clearly verify that it successfully mirrors over on your live Hipcamp listing.
