Channels linked together
You can place your offer with one or more Channels (i.e. tour operators). For a fee, you can put your offer on the website of these parties so that you can attract new Guests from them.
The link can differ per channel. This means that the handling of a Reservation can be different for each channel. One channel creates its own invoice for the guest, who makes the payment to this channel. The other channel only makes the Reservation in your system, after which you have to take care of the invoicing yourself.
Direct links
We talk about a direct link when reservations are made directly in your reservation system, with the correct invoice for the guest and/or channel. There are two types of direct links.
Direct push link > We send the data to the channel from Booking Experts.
- Booking.com - Full content link via the app in the App Store. Read more about the Booking.com link here.
- Expedia - linking via the app in the App Store. Read more about the Expedia link here.
- Glampings.com - linking via the app in the App Store
Direct pull link > The channel itself gets the data from Booking Experts. This requires that the type is unarchived, has images, prices, and an accommodation that is in rental.

ICAL links
An iCal link means that availability is synchronised between two calendars. This is done by exchanging so-called 'links' or codes between the two calendars. Many parties, with whom no direct link exists, can link via iCal.

Tradetracker handles affiliate marketing. Through their platform, you can distribute ads to affiliated websites.
