When connecting your OTAs to Lodgify, you might want to set up things differently from your Lodgify website. For example, you may want to assign specific charges, such as fees, taxes, or promotions, to certain OTAs. It could be applying a different cleaning fee for Booking.com than the one shown on your Lodgify website.
Assign charges per OTA (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo)
If you have charges that you want to differentiate for Airbnb, Vrbo, and/or Booking.com, you can create a new charge and assign it to a particular OTA only.
💡 Notes: To assign a charge to an OTA, the rental must already be connected to the channel manager.
To assign a charge to an OTA, follow these steps:
- Go to your left-hand menu and select Rentals.
- Select the rental that you want to create the charge for and select Pricing.
- Click + Add to create your new charge (if you haven't already).
- Once the charge is added, click the three dots on the right and select Restrictions.
- You will be prompted to choose which platforms you want to assign this charge to. By default, restrictions apply to all connected OTAs, but you can tick or untick specific platforms as needed.
💡 Note: You can find details about what is imported to and exported from the channel manager for each channel here.
If you offer multiple rate plans on Booking.com and need to adjust the prices sent to that OTA, see Adjust prices for existing Booking.com rate plans.
