What this page is for
The Sandbox > Configuration page lets Third Party Suppliers (TPS) tell Bakuun how their system connects to the sandbox test environment.
This includes setup for:
- ARI delivery, meaning Availability, Rates, and Inventory
- Restrictions
- Rate model and pricing logic
- Booking actions
⚠️ Changes made here affect sandbox behaviour only. They do not apply to production.
Before you start
Access to edit this page depends on your account permissions. If the fields appear view-only, contact Bakuun Support.
Before updating this page, make sure you understand what your system supports for ARI, restrictions, pricing, and booking actions. These selections should match your system’s actual integration capability.
How sandbox configuration works
The page is split into four sections:
- Settings
- Restrictions
- Rate Model
- Booking
Each section contains required selections. On an account that has not been fully configured yet, you may see:
- Configuration status as Pending
- Last Update as NA
- Setup progress counters, such as 0/4, 0/13, 0/10, or 0/5
- Pending labels beside items that still need a selection
- Enroll Configuration button
Work through each section and complete the required selections. Once all required selections are complete, use Enroll Configuration to submit and activate the sandbox configuration.
Configuration - Settings
The Settings section controls the core connection settings between your system and Bakuun.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection | Defines how ARI data is exchanged between your system and Bakuun |
| Server Timezone | Sets your server timezone for accurate booking and ARI date/time alignment |
| Mapping | Defines how rooms and rate plans are mapped between your system and Bakuun |
| Max Booking | Sets the maximum number of bookings your system can process per request or property |
| Max ARI Update | Sets the maximum number of ARI updates your system can send in one batch or request |
Configuration - Restrictions
The Restrictions section defines which booking rules your system supports and can exchange with Bakuun through the sandbox API.
For each restriction, select:
- Yes if your system supports the restriction
- No if your system does not support the restriction
Examples of restriction types include length of stay rules, close to arrival, close to departure, stop sales, advance booking rules, cancellation policy, and deposit.
Use the info icon beside each item to review additional technical details where available.
Configuration - Rate Model
The Rate Model section defines which pricing structures your system supports and can exchange with Bakuun through the sandbox API.
For each rate model item, select:
- Yes if your system supports the pricing logic
- No if your system does not support the pricing logic
Examples include extra guest pricing, child pricing, length of stay pricing, FPLOS, and rate hurdles.
Use the info icon beside each item to review additional technical details where available.
Configuration - Booking
The Booking section defines which reservation actions your system supports.
For each booking action, select:
- Yes if your system can process that booking action
- No if your system cannot process that booking action
Booking actions may include new booking, modify booking, cancel booking, cancel room, and multi-room bookings.
Use the info icon beside each item to review additional technical details where available.
Enroll Configuration
Once all required selections across Settings, Restrictions, Rate Model, and Booking are complete, click Enroll Configuration.
Outcome: The sandbox configuration is submitted and activated for sandbox testing.
This only affects the sandbox environment. It does not change your production setup.
How to check it worked
Return to Sandbox > Configuration and check the page.
A completed or updated configuration should show:
- Last Update with a date and time
- Selected values in Settings
- Yes/No selections completed in Restrictions, Rate Model, and Booking
- No required items still showing as Pending, where status is shown
If items still show as Pending, review each section again and complete any missing selections.
