Setting up parent and child accounts and inventory in White Label Channel Manager

The White Label Channel Manager uses a parent-child account architecture to minimize development effort and to keep client connections separate. This article explains how to manage master accounts, child accounts, and properties.

Manage accounts

Create the parent account

The Rentals United team creates a parent account for you to manage White Label Channel Manager for all your child accounts. Store the parent account login and password credentials in your system. The parent account credentials are the only credentials required for storage.

Create PMS Profile

The API Support Team configures a PMS Profile during the master account creation. The PMS Profile allows you to create child accounts for your clients (property managers) and display the White Label Channel Manager in your PMS.

Create child accounts

Use the Push_CreateUser_RQ API method to create subuser accounts for your clients. Each created account automatically assigns to your master account to provide full management and maintenance access.

List created subusers

Use the Pull_ListMyUsers_RQ API method to list all the subuser accounts assigned to your master account and retrieve data for them.

Send company details for profile

Use the Push_FillCompanyDetails_RQ API method to provide business contact information for each created child account. This information is required for quick channel contracting.

Manage properties

Create property with content

Create properties with content, availability and prices for each subuser. Follow the content requirements here and use the following API methods:

• Push_PutProperty_RQ
• Push_PutAvbUnits_RQ
• Push_PutPrices_RQ

You can skip this process if all properties already exist in Rentals United. 

Retrieve new property ID

Once properties are created, use Pull_ListOwnerProp_RQ API method to retrieve their Rentals United ID.
