Channel Manager Integration & API One XML/JSON Connection
Ship faster with a channel manager API that unifies search, rate and availability, booking, and cancellations across 19+ providers. Get production ready source code adapters and SDKs, and connect it with your stack using our API integration service. If you run content on WordPress, you can keep it as your CMS while PHPTRAVELS handles booking logic, inventory sync, and automation.
How does it work?
PHPTRAVELS provides push and pull APIs to connect with each channel manager, exposing unified objects and workflows: search to rate and availability to revalidate to book to amend or cancel to sync. Real time updates prevent overbookings across channels and keep rate parity consistent across all channels while your B2B and B2C engines stay in sync automatically through a shared booking source of truth. If you want a deeper overview first, read what API integration means in travel and how it fits into booking workflows.
