@BlueMtnCabins - Are you seeing an error message? What about it isn't working, and is it Channel Bridge side or OR side? If you have a screenshot, send that in as a ticket. We have seen many Chann…

General Help and Questions » VRBO downloads now called HomeAway? Duplicating data?

Yes, we've seen that as well - on REVIEWS. Not on bookings. I am reiterating the point because there are many users asking about whether this affects bookings and it should not. We have not seen an…

General Help and Questions » Setting up a new unit - what sequence to follow

Good question. I'd set it up in OwnerRez but not the listing content (descriptions, amenities, photos, location stuff). Then put a basic property record in place so that you can play with it and ge…

You would create a Deposit record in QB to group together the payments (and fees) that settled together. So your payments should be pushed to QB with "Undeposited Funds" as the bank account. And th…
