Once BookingCenter has confirmed activation of the Vrbo interface, make sure you: - Understand Availability and Rates. BookingCenter will update and manage both your rates and availability to Vrbo, as it does to other OTA channels.
- Rates: Customers can decide to use BookingCenter's 'restrictions' to set 'closeouts', Minimum Length of Stay, Maximum Length of Stay, etc on their Rates for specific Vrbo listing(s).
- The Vrbo 'booking ID' given to the Guest will also be your BookingCenter 'Booking ID'. Check In the booking when the Vrbo guest arrives, as you would any booking.
- Please note that one of the key differences with the Vrbo connection is that ALL content pushed (and pulled) from Vrbo resides within BookingCenter. As a result, once the connection is live any specific content updates (images, policies, listing headline, etc) must be made within BookingCenter.
Airbnb and VRBO both support an iCal sync - using a Google calendar - which can sync availability calendars between the systems, though no content, rates nor bookings will work.
