Change Property Mappings

bnbfinder does not use property listing numbers, rather they use "slugs" generated from the bnbfinder URL address.

For example, if the bnbfinder URL address is https://www.bnbfinder.com/listings/fancy-rental-florida-z4FV, the bnbfinder "slug" is the last part of the link after /listing, in this case fancy-rental-florida-z4FV

Users should enter their bnbfinder "slug" into the bnbfinder Slug field and hit Save.
