Multi-channel connection (BETA)

If you have one rental, you can use a simplified connection flow that allows you to connect your property to Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo in a single process.

This streamlined workflow helps you complete the connection faster and start syncing your listing with just a few steps.

Connect to Airbnb

To start the Airbnb connection flow:

1. Click Connect Airbnb.
   
    
2. You will be redirected to your Airbnb account, where you will be asked to authorize Lodgify to access your Airbnb listing details. Click Allow.
   

Once authorization is complete, you will be redirected back to Lodgify. The import and synchronization will start automatically. During this process, Lodgify will import:

• Existing reservations
• Availability
• Prices
• Messages

from Airbnb into your Lodgify account.

After the connection is complete, your rental will display as Synced and you can click on Manage Channel to review and edit your Airbnb channel settings.

Connect to Booking.com

Once you have completed the Airbnb connection, you can follow the same simplified flow to connect to Booking.com.

1. In the Booking.com card, click Connect.
   
    
2. Click Continue on Booking.com and log in to your Booking.com Extranet.
   
    
3. Select your property and click the Account icon in the top-right corner. Select Connectivity Provider and then search for and select Lodgify as your connectivity provider.
   This allows Lodgify to sync your rates, availability, reservations, and other settings with Booking.com.
   You can find further instructions on how to allow Lodgify as your Connectivity Provider in this article: Connect to Booking.com.
4. Return to your Lodgify account.
5. Enter your Booking.com email address and Legal Entity ID (available in your Booking.com Extranet).
6. Click Continue.

Once the connection is established, you can start syncing your property.

1. Click Start sync to begin the mapping process. (Click on How we sync your prices to get a full overview of how your Lodgify pricing settings are synced and applied).

The following data will sync from Lodgify to Booking.com:

• Messaging
• Existing reservations
• Availability (including closed periods)
• Prices

Note: A 16% markup is automatically applied to your property prices on Booking.com. After the connection is completed, you can edit this markup in the Booking.com sync settings.

How rate plans are connected

During the first connection, Lodgify will map your Standard Rate in Booking.com.

Depending on your Booking.com rate plan configuration, the following scenarios may occur:

• If no Standard Rate exists
  If your Booking.com property only has other rate plans (for example Non-Refundable or Flexible) and no Standard Rate, Lodgify will display a warning asking you to create one.
  You must create a Standard Rate in Booking.com before completing the connection.
• If only one rate plan exists
  If your property has only one rate plan, Lodgify will map that rate plan automatically, regardless of its name.
• If multiple rate plans exist
  If you have more than one rate plan, you can either:
  • Delete the additional rate plans in Booking.com, or
  • Contact Lodgify Support after completing the connection so the missing rate plans can be mapped.

After the connection is complete, your rental will display as Synced and you can click on Manage Channel to review and edit your Booking.com channel settings.
