This page is about the menus menu {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS->) CHANNEL MANAGER->VRBO/Homeaway and SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->VRBO/HOMEAWAY and explains how to set up an XML connection with VRBO/Homewaway and their companies
==General==
*We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].
NOTE<span style="color: #fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> VRBO/Homeaway 'PULL' the data from Beds24, so if you make changes it may not be displayed in their extranet immediately. They will always request live availability before allowing a booking.
'''Bookings'''
*Criteria which only applies to one room should be entered in the room.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note: </span> Set up bedrooms and bathroom either in the property OR the room. If you set them up in both you will double them up.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note: </span> Do not send additional bathroom amenities if you have a full bathrooom.
Example 1: All units (rooms) have one bedroom and one bathroom. In this case you can set up the bedroom and bathroom in SETTING->PROPERTIES->DESCRIPTION. The number will be applied to all room/units.
You can also manually add bedrooms and bathrooms and amenities. For more information see "All feature codes" below.

==== Prices ====
In SETTINGS- >CHANNEL MANAGER->VRBO/Homeaway XML ->SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT you can set which type of price you want to send.
"Max Stay" set in the CALENDAR or rates can be sent.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note: </span> VRBO/Homeaway occupancy pricing only support minimum stays up to 30 days.
With '''Per Day Pricing''' the price sent is a room price, only ONE price can be sent per date. If you have multiple prices activated for VRBO/Homeaway with different minimum stays the system will send the price with the lowest minimum stay. VRBO/Homeaway applies the minimum stay " first night only" meaning restrictions must only be satisfied for the arrival date of the booking but not on every day of the booking. If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send. With Per Day Pricing you can also set an extra person price.
"Pricing Policy" is set to "Quoted" VRBO/Homeaway will request the price for the period and the number of guests selected from Beds24.

Prices that had already been set in HRS be overridden but cannot be removed. If no prices have are sent from Beds24, no availability is sent, but the which originally was in HRS is displayed.
