| |
| − | | |
| − | ==General==
| |

| − | If you use the XML connection all updates should be done in Beds24 (not in VRBO/Homeaway) because changes you make in VRBO/Homeaway will be overridden with the next update.
| |

| − | == Limitations ==
| |
| − | *In most regions VRBO/Homeaway allows agencies with five or more listings to use their XML connection. If you are not eligible your can use our [[Homeaway.com_iCal| Homeway Ical]] connection to synchronise calendars.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Before you connect ==
| |
| − | '''Prices'''
| |
| − | *We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for this channel. This tutorial gives general information how to [[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels|set prices for channels]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | <span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> VRBO/Homeaway 'PULL' the data from Beds24, so if you make changes it may not be displayed in their extranet immediately. They will always request live availability before allowing a booking.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Bookings'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | VRBO/Homeaway may not allow same day bookings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Only bookings made after the connection is established will be imported and can be managed. Existing bookings can be imported via iCal or manually.
| |
| − | | |
| − | VRBO/Homeaway does not send confirmation messages. They require these to be sent from Beds24. The confirmation message you have set up in SETTINGS->GUEST MANAGEMENT-CONFIRMATION MESSAGES will be sent to the guest.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Set up ==
| |
| − | 1. VRBO/Homeaway have to initiate the XML connection.
| |
| − | *Please contact VRBO/Homeaway via this link https://www.Homeaway.com/l/pmsc/connect?brand=beds24 and ask them to open a project for you to use Beds24 channel manager.
| |
| − | *Send us a support ticket indicating you want to use the VRBO/Homeaway XML connection with following content:
| |
| − | **Company name
| |
| − | **Contact Person
| |
| − | **Number of properties
| |
| − | **Contact Email
| |
| − | **Contact Number
| |
| − | **Website
| |
| − | **Country
| |
| − | | |
| − | We will forward this information to Homeway to speed the process up.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2. VRBO/Homeaway will ask for your advertiser. Send us a support ticket with the owner ID you want to connect and we will issue it and give it to you so you can forward it to your contact at VRBO.
| |
| − | | |
| − | VRBO/Homeaways XML activation applies per Beds24 account. All properties visible in an account can be connected. If you are managing properties for different owners or in different locations please check with VRBO/Homeaway how you need to structure your account to suit their requirements.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Languages ===
| |
| − | VRBO/Homeaway will inform you which language is compulsory. It is the language of the VRBO/Homeaway site you are listed. If this language is different from the language you use as default language for your booking page you can set it in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER ->VRBO/Homeaway ->SPECIFIC CONTENT.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you need to activate languages go to SETTINGS->BOOKING ENGINE->INTERNATIONALISATION.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Listings ===
| |
| − | *With a single-unit listing (Listing per = Room - the recommended setting for new connections) a listing is created for every room in Beds24.
| |
| − | **The "Headline" for the listing comes from "Room Headline" in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER-> ROOM CONTENT. If this field is empty the "Headline" in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER-> PROPERTY CONTENT will be used.
| |
| − | **The "Property Name" comes from the "Name" in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES > DESCRIPTION. If you want to give each listing its own property name even though they are in one property in Beds24 you can enter a unique "Name" for each in SETTINGS > CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO / HOMEAWAY XML > SPECIFIC ROOM CONTENT.
| |
| − | *With a multi-unit listings (Listing per = Property NOT RECOMMENDED, only use this option after consulting with your activation specialist) one property in Beds24 is a listing in VRBO/Homeaway. Rooms are units in this listing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to change between listing types you can do this in SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->VRBO/Homeaway->SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT. Before you change the setting you will need to talk to VRBO/Homeaway because certain data will get lost.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Go to SETTINGS->CHANNEL MANAGER->VRBO/Homeaway-> VIEW CONTENT to check if you content meets VRBO/Homeaways requirements.

| − | | |
| − | With '''Per Day Pricing''' the price sent is a room price, only ONE price can be sent per date. If you have multiple prices activated for VRBO/Homeaway with different minimum stays the system will send the price with the lowest minimum stay. VRBO/Homeaway applies the minimum stay " first night only" meaning restrictions must only be satisfied for the arrival date of the booking but not on every day of the booking. If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send. With Per Day Pricing you can also set an extra person price.
