STAAH Max V2 – Agoda Content Management

STAAH Max V2 – Agoda Content Management

What is new? Content capabilities have arrived! We are introducing content management via MAX V2.

The Agoda content flow is similar to the mapping flow of Booking.com, so the new enhancements will be familiar. 
  1. Mapping Options:
  2. Map to an existing Agoda listing
  3. Create a new listing
  4. Create a new room type
  5. Create a new rate plan and link to an existing room type
  6. Manage content for an existing Agoda listing

Create a new listing on Agoda:
  1. Enable Agoda
  2. Click on tile
  3. On the mapping page, click on MAP for a room type
  4. Pop up with 2 options
  5. Select 'Create New Property On Agoda


The setup wizard will launch and there are 3 sections to complete - Property Information, Room Information and Rate Information. Follow the prompts.

Once the property is setup and response received from Agoda, the user will be diverted back to the mapping page.



An email with instructions on where to sign the Agoda contract will be sent to the registered reservation email address in MAX. The user has to login to MAX to accept Agoda contract. Please note the 'Sign Contract' button is only visible to property login user. The button is not visible to Super Admin users.

It is possible to continue with mapping without accepting the contract. Please note however, unless the contract is accepted, the Agoda listing will not go LIVE on the customer site.
Once the contract is accepted, the contract status is updated in MAX. There is no option to view the contract from MAX. The property can login to Agoda extranet to view/ check their contract.



Example: Email to property about Agoda Contract



Example: Sign Contract button. This button is only visible to the property.



Example: Contract Signed - This is visible to Super Admin users.
