Do I have to sign up with each hotel supplier myself to get their rates on my website?

In most cases yes, you will need your own agreement with at least one hotel supplier, because the rooms, the rates and the cancellation rules belong to them and not to us. A hotel booking API is the pipe that carries their inventory into your website and sends your bookings back to them. It does not create the commercial relationship. Once you are signed up, the supplier gives you your own credentials, those credentials are loaded into your portal, and from then on every search and every booking runs under your own contract and your own commission terms.

There are exceptions. Some suppliers allow a shared or consolidated arrangement where a new agency can sell without applying directly, which helps when you are starting out and cannot yet meet a supplier's minimum turnover or deposit conditions. Whether that route is open to you depends entirely on the supplier, the countries you want to sell in and the plan you are on, so it is not something we can confirm in advance without checking.

It is also worth knowing that each supplier runs its own approval process. They usually ask for your business registration and trade documents, and they may want to know what kind of volume you expect. Approval can take anything from a few days to a few weeks, and it is their decision, not ours. You can connect more than one supplier over time, but each one needs its own sign up and its own credentials.

The simplest next step is to tell us which destinations and kinds of hotels you want to sell, and we can tell you which suppliers are already supported and what each of them will ask you for.
