Create a Room Type
After you have created a property your next task is to create room types
Channex has a similar setup to booking.com and Expedia where all properties needs a Room Type.
Note: If you have a Vacation Rental or Holiday Home then your property is the "Room Type", you will need to create a Room Type anyway. You can call it the name of your property.
Note: If you are a hostel and sell beds, then you should name the room type as the bed "Bed in 8-Bed Dorm Room"
Directions:
1. Go to the "Rooms & Rates" tab
2. Click on "Create"
3. Enter title for the room
