Faster OTA Onboarding, Smarter Export Monitoring & Expanded Takeover Automation

The latest NextPax Supply API updates introduce major enhancements focused on onboarding automation, OTA migration workflows, export observability, and expanded channel support for VRBO and Expedia.

These improvements help SAPI partners reduce implementation complexity, accelerate merchant onboarding, and gain deeper operational visibility into channel export processes. 

What’s New for SAPI Partners

Expanded Property Takeover Support for VRBO & Expedia

The takeOverProperty workflow has been extended to support:

• VRBO (HOM143)
• Expedia (EXP270)

in addition to:

• Booking.com (BOO142)
• Airbnb (AIR298)

Technical Update

Partners can now use the existing property channel management endpoints to automate migration scenarios across additional OTA channels:

POST /channel-management/property/{propertyId}

POST /channel-management/property-manager/{propertyManagerCode}

The implementation supports:

• Single-unit mappings
• Multi-unit mappings
• Unit-type mappings

with channel-specific requirements for:

• channelPropertyId
• channelRoomId

Business Value

• Faster migration onboarding
• Reduced manual OTA reconnect processes
• Lower onboarding support effort
• Easier portfolio transitions between systems

New OTA Content Import During Takeover Flow

Two new fields have been introduced within the channel management workflow:

"importContent": true,
"importContentScope": ["fees-taxes", "rateplans"]

Technical Update

Partners can now trigger selective OTA content imports during takeover procedures.

Supported import scopes:

• fees-taxes
• rateplans

An empty array on importContentScope:

[ ]

imports all supported content automatically.

Why This Matters

Instead of recreating OTA configurations manually, partners can now preserve existing channel setup data directly from the OTA source, significantly reducing onboarding friction and setup inconsistencies.

Business Value

• Faster client activation
• Reduced configuration duplication
• Improved onboarding accuracy
• Lower operational overhead

VRBO Onboarding Confirmation Workflow

A new onboarding confirmation endpoint has been added for VRBO integrations:

POST /channel-management/onboarding/confirm-mapping/{channelId}/{propertyManagerCode}

Technical Update

This endpoint finalizes onboarding mappings between:

• VRBO property identifiers
• NextPax property manager mappings

This creates a cleaner and more deterministic onboarding flow for partner integrations.

Business Value

• More reliable onboarding automation
• Reduced onboarding validation errors
• Faster VRBO activation lifecycle

SSO (Self Service Onboarding) Redirect Wizard Support VRBO

New SSO redirect endpoints enable embedded onboarding flows directly into VRBO setup journeys.

Endpoint

POST /channel-management/onboarding/sso-redirect/{channelId}/{propertyManagerCode}

Required Payload

• advertiserId
• companyName
• email

Response

Returns secure SSO onboarding URLs for guided setup experiences.

Business Value

• Reduced onboarding friction
• Better UX for merchants
• Lower dependency on manual support
• Improved conversion during channel activation

New Export Flow Monitoring & Observability

The existing buildStatus field has now been deprecated and replaced by the new:

"exportFlowStatuses": []

Technical Update

Partners now receive detailed export pipeline visibility per export flow, including:

{
"channelFlow": "build-property",
"isFinished": true,
"lastJobRan": "export-roomtypes",
"lastJobTime": "2026-05-06T14:22:00Z",
"lastJobStatus": "success",
"lastJobError": null
}

Available via:

GET /channel-management/property/{propertyId}

Why This Matters

This introduces significantly improved observability for integrations and support tooling.

Engineering and support teams can now:

• monitor export progress in real time,
• identify failed export stages,
• troubleshoot faster,
• and improve operational SLAs.

Business Value

• Faster issue resolution
• Better export transparency
• Improved monitoring capabilities
• Reduced support escalations

Expedia Channel Settings Now Available

Expedia configuration management is now fully exposed through the Supply API settings endpoints.

Supported Endpoints

GET /channel-management/property-manager-settings/{propertyManagerCode}

POST /channel-management/property-manager-settings/{propertyManagerCode}

GET /channel-management/property-settings/{propertyId}

POST /channel-management/property-settings/{propertyId}

Technical Value

Partners can now centrally manage Expedia-specific settings through standardized API workflows without requiring separate operational tooling.

Business Value

• Easier Expedia onboarding
• Standardized channel configuration management
• Improved scalability for enterprise PMS integrations

Raw VRBO Tax & Fee Breakdown in Booking Responses

Reservation responses now expose the original VRBO fee and tax structure within:

channelSpecificInformation.priceDetails

Endpoint

GET /bookings/{bookingId}

Included Data

• Rental amounts
• Cleaning fees
• Resort fees
• Management fees
• Tax rates
• Payment schedules
• Channel-native pricing references

Technical Value

Partners now gain access to the unprocessed OTA pricing structure before NextPax normalization and mapping.

This improves:

• reconciliation workflows,
• financial auditing,
• tax transparency,
• and debugging of pricing discrepancies.

Business Value

• Improved financial visibility
• Better accounting reconciliation
• Easier downstream reporting
• Greater transparency into OTA reservation economics

To Conclude

These updates are designed to help SAPI partners build faster, more reliable, and more scalable OTA connectivity workflows.

By improving takeover automation, onboarding orchestration, export observability, and OTA configuration management, NextPax continues to reduce integration complexity while accelerating time-to-market for hospitality platforms and property managers.
