Map the Despegar Channel
Mapping Despegar is similar to all other channels in Channex
Just map all room types and rate plans
You might see that in this example the rate plan is 1 person but the rooms are double.
Just map and all should be correct. Despegar can sometimes control the price for extra persons in the extranet
Once all rooms/rates are mapped you can activate the channel
