~~Airbnbs new~~ listing promotion ~~helps you~~ to ~~get your first~~ bookings ~~quicker~~. ~~It allows hosts to easily apply a 20%~~ discount~~. This option~~ is ~~activated by default but you can opt out (not recommended) before sending~~.

After the listing has been exported, you can manage the New Listing Promotion in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > PROMOTIONS.

The promotion is only available when:

* Smart Pricing is turned off

To activate or remove the promotion, click "Manage" next to the listing.

After three bookings, the promotion expires automatically. Promotions do not stack with other discounts. If another discount is set, guests will only receive the New Listing Promotion.

When Airbnb bookings have been marked as "Cancelled by Host" Airbnb will not reopen dates where you have previously cancelled a booking. The dates should be available at all other channels.

</div></div>

Representative Inventory (Listings on Airbnb only)

</div>

The problem is caused because Airbnb thinks your listing is a multi unit with more than one bookable unit.

This can happen if at any time you had a qty greater than one.

Once it happens, the only way to set it back to a standard listing is to disconnect the listing from Beds24 and then reconnect it.

This is because it is Airbnb policy not to change this listing type while it is connected.

It will then connect immediately as a standard listing with a qty of one and the calendar will sync properly.

</div></div>

Content changes are not showing in Airbnb

</div>

The problem is caused when you have 'locked_attributes' in Airbnb. The content will be sent to Airbnb, and ignored as the attributes are locked.

To check which attributes are locked, go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING, scroll down to the rooms and click 'Content in Airbnb' and search for locked_attributes', login to your Airbnb extranet and unlock the attributes so you can manage them from Beds24.

+ The problem is caused because Airbnb thinks your listing is a multi unit with more than one bookable unit.
+ This can happen if at any time you had a qty greater than one.
+ Once it happens, the only way to set it back to a standard listing is to disconnect the listing from Beds24 and then reconnect it.
+ This is because it is Airbnb policy not to change this listing type while it is connected.
+ It will then connect immediately as a standard listing with a qty of one and the calendar will sync properly.

+ The problem is caused when you have 'locked_attributes' in Airbnb. The content will be sent to Airbnb, and ignored as the attributes are locked.
+ To check which attributes are locked, go to {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING, scroll down to the rooms and click 'Content in Airbnb' and search for locked_attributes', login to your Airbnb extranet and unlock the attributes so you can manage them from Beds24.
