Newbie Question: Different prices for different channels

Hi,

Pardon me if this has been asked and answered before, I couldn't find anything when I searched.

I'm using PriceLabs and OwnerRez; I'm pretty new to both of them but I have everything working to my satisfaction (mostly) with Airbnb.

Now I want to add VRBO, but I want to have different pricing.  Pricelabs when used directly with Airbnb and VRBO explicitly supports this. 

Does OwnerRez support this pricing from PriceLabs, or is there another way to "overlay" a premium or a discount for each channel?

Thanks in advance for any answers, much appreciated.

Hi Antony:

PriceLabs syncs to spot rates, which shows on Settings > Rates Calendar

Then, you can adjust the channel pricing via the  Settings > API> Channel > Changes button & "adjust" will enable you to increase or decrease your rent or rent + surcharges per channel.

Thank you, but unless I'm doing something wrong I can only adjust rates within a date range, by channel or otherwise.

My interface doesn't show Settings > Rates Calendar, so I went to Setting -> Rates, and sure enough there's a calendar.  Here, I can adjust rates by selecting and then populating selected dates with a rate, but there is no way to select a channel and the setting are limited to the selected date range.

If I choose "Spot Rates" from the Rates Calendar I am shown a data dump, no ability to change anything.

So this approach is a dead end, for me at least, for now.

BUT upon further research, I find that I can set a premium or a discount in the channel API settings, and I was thinking of doing it like this until I read your reply.  Is this method not advised for any reason?

Thanks very much for the assistance.

That is in fact the simplest and most straightforward method, as long as all you want is a simple blanket percentage increase/decrease for that channel.
