Visit Channex

Channex is a white-label channel manager API that connects property management systems and in-house hotel software to 75+ booking channels, including Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia. It handles OTA connectivity so software builders can focus on their own product, and is sold only to software builders rather than directly to hotels.

The platform offers a REST API with webhooks for sending availability, rates and restrictions and receiving reservations, modifications and cancellations, along with a test sandbox, full logs, real-time analytics dashboards and alerts. An integration skill for Claude Code supports AI-assisted development. Optional add-ons include a payment gateway API and marketplace integrations with third-party apps. It supports multi-property and group management, and is GDPR compliant with activity logs and audit trails. Channex does not currently support OTA listing creation or listing content management.

Channex is aimed at PMS and booking engine vendors, hotel groups building in-house systems, and platforms serving camping, glamping, vacation rentals, serviced apartments and short-term rentals. It is packaged as a WhiteLabel plan with a monthly fee plus a per-hotel or per-vacation-rental-unit charge, with no commission or setup costs. A free staging account is available for testing, and going live requires testing, Channex certification and OTA account authorization.
