Getting started: question about turning OR live

Hi everyone. I'm getting started and working through the checklist. As I work through it, I'm wondering if there is an official "go-live" button at the end so that it's clear to me when the transition to owner Rez has occurred. In the meantime, I'm fearful of importing all airbnb over and wondering if that is turning it live. Thank you so much!

Hi Valerie,

 

There is no "Go-Live" button within OwnerRez currently, the closest thing we'd have in the system and what we general recommend to aim for is API integration with the main channels.

 

We have some articles here that detail that,

These would be part of step 14 on the checklist: https://www.ownerrez.com/support/articles/setup-checklist#apis

 

Alternatively you could setup iCals when you're ready to start generating bookings between channels:
