AirbnB Interface

 Once BookingCenter has confirmed activation of the AirBnB interface, you need to make sure you can manage it ongoing. Follow these steps.

1. BookingCenter will update and manage your availability to AirBnB, as it does to other channels. 
2. Rates will need to changed via login to AirBnB to set your rates. Our interrace does not manage rates.  Either use AirBnB's rate management manual tool or use their 'auto-rate tools' to automatically adjust rates as their 'market analysis' decides.
3. Bookings details will need to be entered into BookingCenter.  None of the details of an actual booking (such as the Guest Name, arrival, depart, etc.) will come from AirBnB.  Thus, once you have confirmed the AirBnB booking with the guest, manaually add the booking into MyPMS.  This will assign the accurate Room Type (and Room, if you allocate at this time) and availability will once again be in 'sync' between all of your channels. 
4. Check the booking in when the AirBnB Guest arrives, as you would any booking. But since payment comes from AirBnB via their 'pay out' method, apply the 'Payment' to the folio using either a new receipt called 'AirBnB Payment' or the actual method AirBnB pays you by, such as: PayPal, bank transfer, direct deposit, etc.  This way, the folio is balanced and you can reference the actual AirBnB payment to the folio of the Guest.
