==Common Errors==
'''No Availability in Airbnb'''
You need prices in Beds24 and in the Airbnb extranet. If you added prices in the Airbnb extranet but still do not see the same availability as in your Beds24 calendar you could try the following: Untick "Inventory" and "Bookings" in the channel manager settings. Once your Airbnb calendar is blank set prices. Reconnect Beds24 and use the calendar update function in Airbnb to push an update through.
'''Airbnb does not seem to connect'''
In Airbnb.com go to 'Reservation preferences', open 'Availability window' and select 'All future dates'. Any other option does not allow the calendars to sync.
