Connecting to Hospitable

Prerequisites

The below prerequisites are only for listings that require dynamic pricing, if you are just monitoring your portfolio bookings and blocks will still be processed.

  1. Before integrating Hospitable with your PropertyMarketIntel account, you must first make sure Airbnb's Smart Pricing is turned off for all of your listings on Airbnb. If Smart Pricing is enabled, your PropertyMarketIntel rates will not appear on your Airbnb listing(s).

  2. On Hospitable, you must also set up a markup for each distribution channel for the PropertyMarketIntel sync to be successful. The markup you choose will depend on your particular Airbnb and Vrbo configuration and the way you want to differentiate the pricing for each distribution channel; you can enter a zero, positive, or negative number as your adjustment.

    1. To set your Markup go to 'Settings' --> click on 'Preferences' --> Click on 'Properties' and enter a value in the field for each channel.

Step 1

Obtain your Hospitable Access Token, make sure you provide both 'Read' & 'Write' Permissions.
