Migrate from Cloudbeds to RoomRaccoon

Q: What is the most common pitfall?

Channel manager re-mapping: Cloudbeds Distribution mappings need re-creation in RoomRaccoon channel manager.

Cloudbeds-to-RoomRaccoon is an unusual migration, typically motivated by a small property (under 40 rooms) wanting RoomRaccoon's native dynamic pricing or downsizing operational complexity.

Why migrate

Common motivations: native RaccoonRev dynamic pricing not available in Cloudbeds without third-party tool, or property scaling down from larger Cloudbeds deployment to RoomRaccoon's small-property focus.

Timeline

4-6 weeks for a 30-room property.

What to migrate

Reservations, guest profiles, rate plans, room types, open folios, historical bookings.

Common pitfalls and fixes

Channel manager re-mapping

Cloudbeds Distribution mappings need re-creation in RoomRaccoon channel manager.

Cloudbeds Payments to RoomRaccoon payment partner

Replace Cloudbeds Payments with RoomRaccoon's payment integration (Stripe, Adyen, etc.).

1-2 weeks parallel read.
