Google for Vacation Rentals listings are per property. Only one room per property can connect.
Set 'NotifySynchronise' = Notify Enable to the room you want to connect so Google can verify your content.
'''Step 5: Check your landing page'''
*A staffed front desk open during normal business hours
*A minimum stay requirement of no greater than 7 days
*A "Google for Business Profile" listing
*Google Hotel Ads is a hotel platform and does not respect minimum stay restrictions. Google checks for a one night stay on each date, if they do not find availability for one night they usually assume the date is closed and do not check any further including for stays of 2 or more days. Google prioritizes also properties which have availability in the near future.
*If you want Google to show that the booking is cancellable check that you have allowed cancellations in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > BOOKING RULES and {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > OFFERS
'''Step 3: Allow Beds24 to send your data'''
*Set Google Product = Google Hotel Ads.
*Set 'NotifySynchronise' = Notify Enable so Google can read your data and match you. This will opt you in for Googles free booking links.
'''Step 4: Check your landing page'''
Commission payments to Google are made by Beds24, you are not required to pay Google directly.
*Commission is charged on completed bookings originating from the advertisement even if the guests books directly at a later point of time.
*'''Commission will be collected from your Account balance for ALL bookings at the time of booking''', even if you have used 'Commission due' = On completed booking. The commission will be refunded if the guest then cancels before arrival.
*If deposit collection is used, the commission is only charged after the deposit collection completes.
*If required, currency conversion will be done at market rates at the time of booking to calculate the commission in your account currency rather than booking currency.
Set
*Commission Bid = None
*Notify Synchronise = Disable

=== What is the difference between Google Hotel Ads and Google for Vacation Rentals?===
Google Hotel ads is only available for hotels and hotel type properties only. For Hotel Ads Google requires the property to staffed front desk open during normal business hours, needs to have a “Google for Business” Profile” listing and Google favours properties without minimum stay restrictions.
Google for Vacation Rentals is specifically for vacation rental properties like apartments, holiday houses and can only be used by such properties.
=== What happens when I do not have credit in my Beds24 acccount? ===
Guests will not be able to book if you do not have credit in your Beds24 account to pay for the commission. If you have not already done so we recommedn recommend you set up auto payments in SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> BILLING. Please make sure you select an amount. If you choose 'None' we can not charge your card. Commissions will be deducted in real time so a booking might trigger the auto top up.
=== How do I know that a booking originates from Google? ===
