Export Availabilities
Airbnb can be linked on Accommodation-type level as well as on the Unit level, so when we link on the Accommodation-type level the system sends reservability from the type level, and when the linking is on the Unit level then the system sends availability for that individual unit.
Apart from the reservations that are already created for certain dates, please note that there are other factors that can even hamper the availability at Airbnb like:
LOCK: The user can add LOCK to the Acco-type/unit which will block the availability of that property for a certain period of time for all the DC’s. That is no one could book that Acco-type/unit for the date on which LOCK is added. For such dates on which Lock is added, we send ‘Zero’ availability to the reseller.
Stop-Sale: Another thing that can impact the availability of the property is “Stop-Sale”. In ‘Stop-sale’ user can define blocking of Acco-type/Unit for a specific Reseller (i.e. for a specific DC used for the reseller). This will make sure that the property is blocked for booking for a specific DC (and not for all the DC’s). More information on the Stop-sale like how it is added and what the different types of Stop-sale are defined at Reseller configuration → Stop-saleReservability is exported to Airbnb either from accommodation type or unit depending upon the linking level the client chooses in Maxxton.
In addition to existing reservations, it's important to consider other factors that can affect the availability of properties on Airbnb:LOCK: Users have the ability to apply a 'lock' status to an Accommodation-type or unit, effectively blocking its availability for a specified period across all Distribution Channels (DCs). During this time, the property cannot be booked, and the system communicates 'Zero' availability to resellers.
Stop-Sell: Another factor impacting availability is the 'Stop-Sell' feature. With 'Stop-Sell,' users can designate the blocking of an Accommodation-type or unit for a specific Reseller (associated with a particular DC). This action restricts bookings for that Reseller only, while availability remains unaffected for others. Detailed instructions on adding and configuring different types of 'Stop-Sell' are available under Reseller configuration → Stop-sell
Export Prices(Multiple rate types)
We have two types of pricingPer day pricing: Per Night day prices (nightly prices) are sent directly as they are configured in ‘Rates’. Special Prices It's important to note that special prices cannot be sent to Airbnb for ‘Per day’ prices as the price cache is not used for the same.
Length of stay pricing: In length of stay pricing (LOS), for every Arrival Date Maximum stay Prices maximum stay prices are sent for each arrival date. FirstlyInitially, the LOS Prices prices get uploaded on Price Cache where the final price is calculated by , considering special and other factors and then from there the final Prices are sent to Airbnb . Subsequently, then these final prices are exported to Airbnb.
Example:
For 1st October,20222024: 3 Nights Prices are configured as 350. So for 1st Oct Prices , prices will be sent as:
1 Night prices: 0
2 Night Prices: 0
3 Night prices: 350
LOS prices take time to get reflected on Airbnb website as the prices will first get reflected on ‘Price cache’ and then those Prices are Exported to Airbnb
