==Prices==

<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> This tutorial explains how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].

*Airbnb requires a "Base Price" (Rack Rate) which you can set under {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT > ROOM CONTENT. Make sure you are prepared to accept a booking for the "Base Price. If you do not have daily prices or rates which are activated for channel management or rates in which "Airbnb" is activated the rack rate will be used up to a year in advance.

*In {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can set rules for dates with no price. If you require minimum stays we recommend you set this to the default "Close the Room" because we can not send minimum stays to the Base Price.

==Bookings and Requests==

Airbnb collects the payment from your guest. Channel collect payments will be shown in the booking invoice if {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER under “Channel Collect Invoice” is set to import them. If you want to import the "Expected Payout amount" or the "Expected Payout and actual payment" from Airbnb you need to set this in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER under "Airbnb" "Invoice".
