Feeds
Feeds

pb3 format used to
transmits your inventory data to Reserve with Google. This allows you to
submit all of your data at once to update the merchants, services, and
availability slots using an SFTP upload.

Real Time Updates are implemented using REST calls.
Booking Server
In order for Reserve with Google end-to-end integration to create bookings on your behalf, you must set up a Booking server.
