About

Channex is a white-label channel manager API that connects property-management or in-house systems to booking channels. It sends availability, rates and restrictions, and returns reservations, modifications and cancellations. The product is wholesale infrastructure for PMS and booking-engine vendors, hotel groups building internal systems, and hospitality software serving vacation rentals or outdoor stays; Channex says it does not sell directly to hotels. Its integrations page lists 68 OTA channels and 464 PMS and technology partners connected through one API. Partners can use their own brand through API or iFrame widget integration, with custom domains noted. Developer tools include a documented REST API, webhooks, API keys, granular access controls and a staging sandbox. Dashboards monitor channel errors, booking performance and system health, while logs show activity between connected systems. An optional Payment Gateway API supports Stripe and other gateways for payments and refunds. The WhiteLabel plan has a 130.00 USD monthly platform fee plus monthly per-property charges; hotels are 7 USD per property and vacation rentals 0.50 USD per unit. Going live requires testing, certification and OTA account authorization.
