Hi, I'm new to property rental, and I have a few questions:

  1. If I add my listing on one platform, will it automatically appear on others, or do I need to manually add it on Airbnb, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Expedia, etc.?

  2. Is it possible to quickly change photos on one platform or via OwnerRez and have them sync across all platforms? As I understand from this, it won't work with airbnb.

  3. Can I use Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) with my own hosting and domain if I have a WordPress plugin installed? I've read this, but isn't clear for me regarding my question.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Wei:

Welcome to short term rentals and to OwnerRez!

 

  • If I add my listing on one platform, will it automatically appear on others, or do I need to manually add it on Airbnb, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Expedia, etc.?\

           For each platform, there is a process to manually setup the API connection. This gives you control over which channels you activate and when. For example, here are a               few of our popular set up articles:

  • Is it possible to quickly change photos on one platform or via OwnerRez and have them sync across all platforms? As I understand from this, it won't work with airbnb.At the moment, you can sync listing content from OwnerRez to other platforms, except Booking.com, which is in the works for an update soon.
