FAQ

Can I participate on Google Travel with only a few properties?

Yes! We can upload your accommodations to Google Hotels or Google Vacation Rentals, redirecting travelers to a customized Nxtbeds Booking Form. This becomes an API booking in your software.

How do I collect guest payments?

We redirect travelers to your brand.com page, where your existing payment methods apply. If using the Nxtbeds Booking Page, you can request traveler credit card information or send a payment link. Note that traveler credit card functionality requires PCI DSS compliance or an integrated payment provider.

How does the integration with Google work for Hotels?

Your hotel’s inventory and rates are synced with Google’s Hotel Ads platform. Travelers searching for hotels in your area will see your property in the search results. Clicking on your property directs them to your website or booking engine to complete the reservation.

How does the integration with Google work for Vacation Rentals?

For vacation rentals, the integration is similar to hotels. Your inventory and rates are synced with Google’s Vacation Rental Ads platform. Travelers searching for vacation rentals in your area will find your property in the results and can click to book through your website or booking engine. The setup may require additional categorization, but with Nxtbeds support, you can leverage Google to boost bookings and revenue.
