If you notice a price difference between Lodgify and Vrbo, follow these steps to understand why.
Step 1: Simulate the Booking
- In your Lodgify calendar, start creating a booking. Select the dates and proceed to Step 2 of the booking flow.
- Then, open your Vrbo listing page (as if you were a guest) and select the same dates.
- Compare the room and rate shown in Lodgify to what appears on Vrbo.
Step 2: Check for a Markup
- Go to the Pricing section of your rental in Lodgify.
- If you’ve applied a markup, this increases the base rate.
Example- Room rate: $100
- Markup: 5%
- Price on Vrbo:
$100 + 5% = $105
Step 3: Check for a Promotion
Promotions configured in Lodgify are exported to Vrbo, provided they are not created using a promo code. If a promotion is applied to a Vrbo booking, it will not be visibly marked as a promotion; instead, it will simply reduce the room rate, making the price appear lower than expected.
To check if a promotion is being exported to Vrbo:
Go to the Pricing section of the rental.
Scroll to the Promotions section.
If there is an active promotion without a promo code, it is being applied to the room rate in Vrbo.
- If no, but the price is still incorrect on Vrbo please reach out to us.
💡Note: Prices will only be synced to Vrbo once the connection has been finalized. To check the status of your Vrbo connection, please check this Troubleshooting article: How-to check the connection status with Vrbo.
