'''Two-way API connections''' with all leading OTAs allow you to export prices and availability and import bookings instantly.

We also offer '''content management and listing creation''' with selected OTAs including Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo, as well as many convenience features such as '''reporting, review management and messaging'''.

The '''iCal import and an iCal export-functions''' allow two-way connections via iCal for channels without an API connection.

There is a '''dedicated help page for each channel''' with information on the capabilities of the connection and setup instructions.</div>
