A pop-up will appear asking, if you want to proceed. Click OK

Cottages.com will then enter the Service Code and Unit Code via a special tool we have provided to them.
They cannot access any other data or part of your account.

You can choose whether or not you wish to forward prices, and any discounts, you have set up within SuperControl to Cottages.com.
If the prices are not synced between SuperControl and Cottages.com, the dynamic pricing used by Cottages.com will be used for your properties when listed on the Cottages.com website.

It is also possible to forward any default booking extras, e.g. a booking fee.
However, it is not possible to forward booking extras that need to be selected by the guests, e.g. extra blankets.

It is possible to apply an uplift to the price forwarded to Cottages.com as well.
This uplift will only apply to Cottages.com. Any uplift set for e.g. Airbnb will have no impact on the connection to Cottages.com.

In order to set up an uplift according to your requirements, you need to go to
Integrations > Channel manager > International > Cottages.com.
