Go-live checklist
The list that decides whether the hotel can publish, with what is missing split in two: what the hotel fixes and what we fix.
What it solves
Starting to sell is not flipping a switch: it is twelve things being right at once. Before, channels went live the moment somebody opened the channels screen, so a half-configured hotel already showed up as selling — and the first booking arrived with no cancellation policy, no account to charge into, or a tax nobody had confirmed.
You notice it in things like these
- The hotel shows up as published before it is ready, and nobody decided to publish it.
- A bare "you cannot publish": you have to compare screens to guess what is missing.
How it works
It validates itself from the hotel's data
Details, taxes, rooms, prices, policies, rate plan, channels, payout account, contract, payment method, lodging tax and tax profile. There are no boxes to tick by hand: the list reads what is there and recalculates every time it opens.
Three states, not two
Each requirement is ready, missing — the hotel's to fix — or under review, which is when the ball is in our court. Without that distinction the hotelier chases something that is not theirs to solve.
Publishing is a deliberate act
Going live switches on yaReserva.com and the Web Embed — its channel and the widget — in one move, with the whole checklist as the gate. And it distinguishes what it switched on from what was already on: saying "I turned on yaReserva.com" when it had been on for a month is a small lie that costs trust.
A refusal comes with the list
If you cannot publish, the answer is not a "no": it is the checklist with what is missing. And if a channel fails to switch on, going live is not cancelled — the hotel did its part, and punishing it for our failure would be charging it for our mistake.
Where it lives in the panel
- Hotel
- Set up your hotel
The checklist is the wizard's last screen and can be reopened at any time: it is the one that answers "can I sell yet?".
What it needs first
Setup started: the checklist lives inside the wizard.
Set up your hotel
What it does not do yet
The limits, told by us
- The widget is asked to switch on, not forced: it keeps its own gate — authorised domain, payout account and publishable key — and is switched on from its own screen.
- Two requirements are not the hotel's: that yaReserva has verified its state's lodging-tax rate, and that it has validated its tax profile. Until then the list says "under review" and nothing is published.
