Ecommerce Platform | Guestline | Threshold closures

Threshold closure is the ability to close out availability to a specific channel, the channel ecommerce platform uses is RoomlynxWS.

It’s vital that you have these set up if you are a property with a smaller range of rooms per room category.

You can set these thresholds for when a set inventory count or a percentage of occupancy has been reached and it can either be set for hotel overall availability or just by specific room type.

The thresholds will need to be added into the ‘Distribution’ section of the Guestline PMS.

If you don’t have access to the distribution section then please contact your Guestline account manager so they can grant you access.

How to set up Threshold Closures:

  • Login to Rezlynx, and go onto 'Distribution'.
