Step 1: Setup

Once your account has been provisioned, and the first user is granted access, you'll be able to complete the initial setup steps in the Actions Center Partner Portal.

During your first access, you will be prompted to complete a setup overlay in the console. Complete the following steps:

• Add Administrators: Identify and add users with the authority to sign the updated Terms of Service on behalf of your company.
• Terms of Service (ToS): Have an administrator review and sign the Terms of Service.
• Contacts: Provide all required contact information for account-related notifications and alerts. You may use Google Groups for these aliases.
• Additional Users (Optional): Grant access to any other team members who need to manage or view your integration.

Note that any users you add must have an email address that is a Google Account (like Google Workspace) or is registered with an existing Google Account. For more details about managing user access, see the Accounts and Users guide.

For more information about contacts, see the Setting Up Your Contact Information guide.

Configure Your Brand

After completing the initial account setup overlay, you must configure your brand in the Production environment under Configuration > Brands (on the Lodging VSS tab) before your inventory can be converted or served:

• Default Brand & Brand ID: Create at least one brand and set it as your default brand. If you manage multiple consumer-facing brands under a single account, create a brand entry for each brand.
• Consumer Display Name & Locales: Add at least one localization with your consumer-facing local name, country, and locale (language).
• Logo: Upload a compliant 512 px × 512 px 32-bit PNG logo (sRGB color space, ≤ 1024 KB).
• Domains: Enter the bare registrable domain(s) for your brand (for example, example.com or example.de, without https:// or www.).
• See More URL: Provide the consumer-facing hotel search or browse URL on your domain used to generate the "See more" link on your Hotel Aggregator Unit. See See More URL guidelines and the See More Link Policy.

Important: If you are using the transitional Listings-to-POI Converter, the converter won't begin converting your Hotel Center listings until at least one default brand is configured in Configuration > Brands in the Production environment.
