RateHawk Integration: Sell RateHawk Hotels on Your Own Website
Turn your RateHawk access into a customer-facing booking site — live rates, your markup, instant branded vouchers — instead of quoting manually from the agent portal.
RateHawk (part of Emerging Travel Group) is one of the largest B2B hotel suppliers in the industry — over two million properties with net rates built for travel professionals. Most agents use it one way: log into the RateHawk portal, search manually, copy prices into WhatsApp, and hope the customer confirms before the rate changes. It works, but it makes you the bottleneck in your own sales process.
An integration flips that. Travora Hub connects RateHawk's API directly to a booking website that runs under your brand and domain — customers search live inventory themselves, see prices with your markup already inside, and book and pay on the spot. The voucher generates automatically with your logo on it. You wake up to confirmed bookings instead of a queue of quote requests.
Key features
Live RateHawk Inventory
2M+ properties with rates and availability pulled from RateHawk's API at search time — no stale caches, no "let me check and get back to you".
Your Markup on Every Rate
Set percentage or fixed margins on RateHawk net rates. Customers see one final price; the spread is your revenue, invisible to them.
Instant Booking & Branded Vouchers
Bookings confirm through the API in seconds and a PDF voucher with your agency's branding lands in the customer's inbox automatically.
Use Your Own RateHawk Credentials
Already hold a RateHawk contract? Plug in your own API credentials and sell at your contracted rates with your own commission structure.
Four Suppliers, One Search
RateHawk inventory sells alongside WebBeds, TBO and Hotelbeds in the same storefront — more coverage, better rates, one checkout for the customer.
No Development Project
The integration is already built, certified against real bookings, and maintained as RateHawk's API evolves. You never write or commission a line of code.
The RateHawk portal vs your own RateHawk-powered website
The RateHawk agent portal is a professional tool — for you. Your customers can't see it, and that's the limitation: every enquiry has to flow through an agent who searches, screenshots and quotes. After hours, that pipeline is closed. The serious customers researching at 11pm — the ones who've already agreed dates with the family — can't book, and some of them book elsewhere before morning.
A RateHawk-powered website keeps the professional rates but removes the bottleneck. The same inventory becomes self-service: customers search, compare, filter and book on your domain at any hour, and every booking arrives in your dashboard already confirmed, paid and documented. You still have the portal for complex itineraries; the website handles the volume.
Bring your own contract — or start without one
If your agency already holds RateHawk credentials, the integration uses them: your contracted rates, your commission tier, your relationship. Getting API access certified with RateHawk on your own typically means a technical integration project first — that part is already done here; you plug credentials into a working engine.
If you don't yet have a RateHawk contract, you can launch on the platform's connected inventory and add your own credentials later as your volume grows. Either way, RateHawk is one of four hotel suppliers in the engine — WebBeds, TBO and Hotelbeds fill coverage gaps and let you compare rates across sources, which is exactly how the big OTAs squeeze better margins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Travora Hub affiliated with RateHawk?
No — Travora Hub is an independent platform that integrates RateHawk's official API, alongside WebBeds, TBO and Hotelbeds. RateHawk is a brand of Emerging Travel Group; we're a technology partner to travel agencies, not to any single supplier.
Do I need my own RateHawk contract to use this?
No. You can start on the platform's connected inventory immediately. If you hold your own RateHawk credentials, plug them in and sell at your contracted rates — most established agencies do exactly that.
Can my customers see that the hotels come from RateHawk?
No. Customers see your website, your brand and your prices. The supplier layer is invisible — exactly as it is on any major OTA.
What happens when RateHawk changes its API?
We maintain the integration centrally for every deployment — when RateHawk evolves its API (as all suppliers regularly do), the update happens platform-side. Your site keeps selling; you typically never notice.
How fast can a RateHawk-powered site go live?
Most agencies are live within 48 hours, including branding, domain and supplier connections. If you're bringing your own credentials, have them ready and we'll wire them in during setup.
