## Tripdotcom integration setup

<Info>
  For properties that can set remaining allotment per package on the Tripdotcom room calendar, connecting a channel manager switches the allotment basis to room type automatically.

  * In that switch, per-package inventory merges into room type inventory, the remaining allotment resets, and Stop sell applies. If your property sets allotment per package, read the examples below first.

      **Without a Tripdotcom account,** tell Tripdotcom you are going to connect the VENDIT channel manager and they can set you up connected from the start.

      * **🙋‍♂️ Already using Tripdotcom?** On the Rooms & rates > Calendar screen, take a screenshot or a photo showing the rate plans and occupancy, as in the examples.
      * If your rate plans run on separate inventory, that inventory can reset before the channel manager connects, so the eBooking inventory setup needs checking.

## Things to watch

<Info>
  Tripdotcom is a channel that **syncs only bookings created or changed after the channel connects**.

  Connect VCMS while already using Tripdotcom and bookings made before the connection do not sync. Those you manage yourself.

  Tripdotcom bookings created or changed after the VCMS connection sync normally.
