By default your listings are in "instant" book. Having listings on "Request" is not recommended because this will have a negative impact on ranking and bookings. Upon request we can set individual properties to be on "request".
= Limitations =
*VRBO/Homeaway do not allow same day bookings.
*Most agencies/property managers can use VRBOs XML connectionbut you must have a tax number and a credit card. In some regions VRBO applies minimum requirements. If you are not eligible your can use our [[Homeaway.com_iCal| VRBO iCal]] connection to synchronise calendars.*You can not move properties which are connected between two Beds24 accounts which are connected to VRBO if they have bookings because this will upset VRBOS commission calculation and you might get charged twice.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> You can not change your username when connected to VRBO because this will break the connection.

Beds24 will automatically send the amened price to VRBO so VRBO can adjust your commission.
=VRBO commission=
To allow accurate commission calculation we have to provide VRBO with a feed which contains all VRBO bookings.
If you have added on-site services to the booking, you can add the status '''stayfee''' to them. The status needs to start with stayfee but you can add to is for example stayfee_tour. VRBO will then not take this item into account when calculating the commission.
= Listing Content =
=== Checklist===
These factors are important for the performance of your listings:
*Choose your headline carefully and make sure your key (first) picture and your headline work together.
*Recommended are 24 pictures, make sure all have captions.
*Add '''Location Type ''' feature so your listing will show in location based searches.
*Add ''cleaning''' features''.
*Listings where guests do not have to pay the full amount with the booking perform better.
=== Languages ===
VRBO/Homeaway will inform you which language is compulsory. It is the language of the VRBO/Homeaway site you are listed. If this language is different from the language you use as default language for your booking page you can set it in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway > SPECIFIC CONTENT.
If you need to activate languages go to{{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) BOOKING ENGINE > INTERNATIONALISATION.
=== Listings ===

*The "Headline" for the listing comes from "Room Headline" in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT > ROOM CONTENT. If this field is empty the "Headline" in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT will be used.
*The "Property Name" comes from the "Name" in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > DESCRIPTION. If you want to give each listing its own property name even though they are in one property in Beds24 you can enter a unique "Name" for each in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO / HOMEAWAY > SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT.

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span>VRBO/Homeaway does not support all features Beds24 offers. For a list of all feature codes VRBO/Homeaway supports see "All feature codes" below.
==== Amenities, Features and Location Type====

Criteria which apply to all rooms in the property should be set up with the property. They will be automatically applied to all rooms in the property.
Criteria which only applies to one room should be entered in the room.
Make sure you do not create duplicates.
Example 1: All units (rooms) have Internet. In this case you can set up the Internet in SETTING->PROPERTIES->DESCRIPTION. The number will be applied to all room/units.
Example 2: You have one unit with Internet one and another unit without Internet. In this case set the Internet up in SETTING->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SET UP.

Bedrooms and bathrooms and amenities can also be inserted manually. For more information see "All feature codes" below.
<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> For a list of all feature codes and location types VRBO/Homeaway supports see "All feature codes" below.
==== Prices ====
In {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway > SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT you can set which type of price you want to send.
With '''Per Occupancy Pricing''' a price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.
If you use rates the price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple rates with different occupancies can send. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the rates can not be sent.
If you use daily prices the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send. Extra person price will send.
"Max Stay" set in the CALENDAR or rates can be sent.
<span style="color:#019cde; font-size: 150%;“ >{{#fas:info-circle}} </span> Beds24 sends the price for max. 16 guests. If your property accommodates more than 16 guests use "Per Day" pricing with an extra person price.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </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.
*The number of guests for which the price applies.
*An extra person price.
*A long stay discount. Discounts are only applied to the room price not on extras. VRBO/Homeaway stay discounts are cumulative.
<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 250%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> Click on the "View Actual Data" button in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER- >VRBO/HOMEAWAY > MAPPING to check which prices and availability will send.
=====Currency=====
VRBO defines the currency used in VRBO. You can use a multiplier if your currency in VRBO is different from your currency in Beds24.
You can either use a fixed factor for currency conversion or '''currency conversion''' template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
Example 1 fixed factor: '''*1.23*''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent (i.e. raised by 23%).
Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''*0.85*''' will send a price of 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
Example 2 '''currency conversion''' template variables: '''*[CONVERT:THB-USD]*''' will convert THB to USD to send to VRBO and store bookings converted into THB.
The * at the end will add an info item '''VRBO_MULT''' to the booking with the conversion rate applied to the imported booking. This info item is used to convert the financial figures back to the values originally sent by VRBO when VRBO check the status of the booking.
For example 2 the info code VRBO_MULT will convert the THB in the booking to USD when VRBO read the booking status.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span>VRBO reads the bookings from Beds24 and calculates their commission from what they read. Do not manually convert the prices imported from VRBO to convert currencies because VRBO will then charge you wrong commission.
=====Price Multiplier=====
If you want to add a markup to your prices you can add it to the "Price Multiplier" field in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway.COM > MAPPING.
The multiplier applies to all prices and fees which are sent.
For example, '''*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23 sent for the property (i.e. raised by 23%).
Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. '''*0.85''' will send a price of 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
===== Taxes & Fees=====
Taxes and fees can be added in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway.COM > SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT under "Custom".
*Taxes and fees can apply as a flat fee, a percentage, per day or per guest.
*You can choose taxes and fees to be "stay collected". In this case they will not be added to the booking price.
