XML connection with AirBnB
Posted: Mon Jan 29, 2018 9:04 pm
I am trying to setup my properties and would appreciate some help. The physical set up of our holiday apartments are as follows:
3 x 1 unit properties
1 x 2 unit properties
5 properties in total across 4 locations.
I therefore have 5 listings on AirBnB and Homeaway, and 4 listings on Booking.com. My 2 unit property is set up are 2 different room types, but there is only one of each. For my 2 unit property I push the prices to each unit individually.
I want to set up Beds24 as a single property with 5 room types showing, and each room type being a different apartment. Can I set up Beds24 this way with my current setup? I dont think its a problem for Booknig.com but for AirBnB and Homeaway it causes issues because the despcriptions pushed to the channel are taken from the Property information, not the room information. Can these channels be set so only rates/bookings/availabilty are synced in XML, and the listing descriptions set manually on the channels. I know using ical would be a way around this but I need to control the rates from Beds24 so I need the connection to be XML.
Also am I right in saying that I do not need to use virtual rooms for my setup given than for my 2 unit property, although there are 2 room types there is only a total inventory of 1 for each room.
Thanks in advance.
