Please be aware that removing the Channel Manager will mean that your Lodgify and platform calendars won’t be exported to Booking.com/Airbnb/Expedia/HomeAway-VRBO. So, you will need to manage your prices, reservations and availabilities manually inside the platforms, or sync your calendars via the iCal connection.
When you disconnect from an OTA, you will no longer be linked to it. However, this does not affect your subscription. If you want to adjust your billing, you can do so from the account settings. Find more instructions for downgrading or upgrading your subscription here.
Disconnect from Booking.com
To disconnect:
1. Go to your Booking.com Extranet account and select the Account icon in the top right-hand corner.
2. Choose Connectivity provider from the drop-down menu.
3. Select Deactivate to cancel the connection to your provider.Â
💡 Note: Once the connection is deactivated, all previous settings will be reset. You will manually manage your prices, availability, and bookings from Booking.com.Â
If the above option to disconnect is not available to you, please contact Booking.com via their ‘Inbox’ tab.
4. Finally, notify our Connectivity Team that you wish to deactivate your booking.com channel manager. We will respond to confirm that the connection has been removed from our side as well.Â
💡 Note: If you are connected to Booking.com via the channel manager, and you wish to only disconnect a specific rental, please contact us.
Disconnect from Airbnb Professional
You can disconnect your Airbnb account from Lodgify, but if you want to remove a listing from the connection, you can also disconnect one listing Airbnb only.
âš Important: When disconnecting, Airbnb reservations for the disconnected listing(s) will be removed automatically, making your Lodgify calendar available for other bookings. If you're also connected to other OTA via Lodgify, we strongly recommend to immediately add the Airbnb iCal links to your Lodgify account to avoid double bookings.
