B-Aggregate: Sandbox - Configuration – Bakuun.com

The Configuration area allows you to view and manage key aspects of your integration setup. Here, you’ll find several sub-sections → Settings, Restrictions, Rate Model, Add-ons, and Booking each giving you visibility over how your connection to B-Aggregate is structured.

While many fields reflect pre-agreed settings, certain areas may be editable if updates are required. This ensures you can align your integration preferences without needing to start from scratch.

Note: Hover over the ⓘ icon next to any item to read a short explanation of that setting.

Configuration → Settings (Pull API)

The Settings tab under Configuration allows you to review and update the key technical parameters of your integration setup. This section allows users to configure technical details related to the connection, booking behavior, mapping method, and IP access.

Table Reference - Configuration → Settings

Category	Description
Connection	Indicates whether your integration/connection is either API Push or API Pull.
Server Timezone	Shows the timezone of your server. This ensures that availability and rate data align correctly with your local time configuration.
Mapping	Indicates how the room and rate data is integrated. Like Connection, this can be API Push or API Pull.
