# Channels Plus

Channels Plus enables booking channels to connect to multiple SiteMinder properties through a single REST/JSON integration — without direct property contracts, billing setup, or manual onboarding. Channels shop rates and availability on demand and manage reservations directly, with access to the Partner Portal for property discovery, deal management, and API key control.

### Key Benefits

* **Effortless Integration:** Connect to multiple properties through a single REST/JSON API — no contracts or separate billing.
* **Real-Time Access:** Search availability, retrieve property content and pricing, and manage reservations instantly.
* **Partner Portal Access:** Discover properties, manage API keys, create deals, and track billed reservations.
* **Fast Time to Market:** Eliminate onboarding friction and go live faster with automated setup.
