đź§­ Connecting i-escape with SabeeApp

Overview

i-escape is a boutique travel platform featuring hand-picked hotels, guesthouses, villas, and eco-retreats in over 50 countries. Guests book directly with the property through i-escape’s award-winning system, supported by a team of experienced travel consultants.

To connect your property on i-escape with SabeeApp, the integration works through a third-party bridge using TravelgateX (TGX) and WuBook.

The data flow looks like this:

i-escape ⇄ TravelgateX (TGX) ⇄ WuBook ⇄ SabeeApp

Here’s what each component does:

Component Description
i-escape The boutique OTA that receives your rates and availability.
TravelgateX (TGX) A connection bridge between i-escape and WuBook.
WuBook Your channel manager that syncs data between TGX and SabeeApp.
SabeeApp Your property management system (PMS), where rates and availability originate.

Because this integration works through several layers, setup needs to be coordinated carefully between your i-escape Account Manager (AM) and your SabeeApp Account Manager (AM) to ensure accurate syncing of prices and availability.


Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Step 1 — Contact your i-escape Account Manager

Reach out to your assigned i-escape AM and request activation of the TravelgateX connection for your property.

⚠️ Only i-escape can create and configure the property connection within TravelgateX. You cannot start this process from SabeeApp or WuBook directly.


Step 2 — Confirm your pricing model

i-escape typically connects using your booking engine rates â€” the same prices displayed on your own website.

Before setup, confirm with your i-escape AM which rate plan should be connected. You may decide to:

  • Use your existing booking engine rate plan, or
  • Create a dedicated rate plan for i-escape (e.g., with a different markup or discount).

Once this decision is made, inform your SabeeApp AM so they can connect the correct rate plan through WuBook.


Step 3 — Contact your SabeeApp Account Manager

After your i-escape AM confirms the TravelgateX setup, contact your SabeeApp AM to request the connection between TravelgateXWuBook, and SabeeApp.

They will handle the technical linking process on SabeeApp’s side.


Step 4 — Configure room pricing in TravelgateX

TravelgateX supports per-room pricing (not per-person pricing).

If your property charges different rates depending on the number of guests, please inform your i-escape AM so they can configure this correctly.

For example:

If a double room can host 3 guests and there’s an extra fee for the third person, ask your i-escape AM to set up a third-person supplement fee in TravelgateX.

This ensures that i-escape displays accurate total prices for all occupancy levels.


Step 5 — Wait for confirmation from SabeeApp

Your SabeeApp AM will notify you when the integration setup is complete.

Once you receive confirmation, proceed with the final checks below.


Step 6 — Final checks

After setup, verify the following to make sure everything is syncing correctly:

  1. Your property appears correctly on i-escape.
  2. Availability and rates match the connected rate plan in SabeeApp.
  3. Supplement or extra-person fees are displaying correctly.
  4. Test several room types and date combinations to confirm accurate syncing.

If anything looks incorrect, contact your i-escape or SabeeApp Account Manager to review the configuration.


Notes and Recommendations

  • Minimum stay restrictions:

    i-escape currently does not support minimum stay on arrival restrictions. Make sure your overall minimum stay rules are set up accordingly.

  • Coordination is key:

    Because multiple systems are involved, any issue must be reviewed by both i-escape and SabeeApp support teams.
