To do so, go to:
Reservations
Revenue Management
Enable Listings
Choose if you're a new Wheelhouse user or an existing Wheelhouse user
New Wheelhouse user
If you don't yet have an account with Wheelhouse, enter your information to create an account, which will then be connected to CiiRUS. Your Wheelhouse account will be added to the free tier with an opportunity to upgrade to the pro tier later.
Existing User
If you're already using Wheelhouse, you'll need to grab your Wheelhouse User API key and paste it here. Alternatively, you can login to Wheelhosue and click "Connect to CiiRUS" which will automatically redirect you to this page in CiiRUS and connect your account.
Enable Listings
Next, enable your listings to send to Wheelhouse.
To do so, go to:
Reservations
Revenue Management
Enable Listings
Observe your listings in the grid, each marked with a colored circle indicating the status:
Grey circle: Listing isn't integrated
Yellow circle: Listing is in the queue/processing for synchronization
Green circle: Listing is live
Assign rates and enable listings
To integrate your listings with Wheelhouse, follow these steps:
Create a rate set with at least one date band, including your base price, for each listing. Although this won't be utilized, it's necessary to send to Wheelhouse for comparison and analysis between your old and newly set pricing. Ensure each listing is assigned a unique rate set.
Check the box in the "Enable Listings" column and click the "Save" icon above the grid.
The colored circle will turn yellow during the syncing process with Wheelhouse. You can navigate away from this page and return later as it continues to sync.
Wheelhouse Pricing Activated: This setting is read-only. You must be on the "Pro-Tier" plan and enable auto-pricing within your Wheelhouse account.
Last Sync: View the timestamp indicating when the listing last synced with Wheelhouse.
This happens 3 times per day.
