Sync settings serve a very limited function on Hospitable.
These do not control what aspects of your calendar Hospitable syncs or pushes to your connected listings.
The only time these settings are used is if your property contains a Vrbo Legacy listing, and this listing is set as the Lead listing on the property.
ℹ️ Disabling Sync on a property's Overview page only disables Reservation sync to non-PMS listings, such as an unclaimed Airbnb listing or a Vrbo Legacy listing.
On the Settings → Preferences → Sync page, you see toggles for four types of syncs:
Reservation sync
Pricing sync
Availability sync
Minimum night stay sync
Reservation sync is always enabled in these settings and cannot be disabled. The other three can be enabled or disabled freely.
ℹ️ Reservation sync is always enabled in settings. As long as the Sync toggle is enabled on a property's Overview page, the Reservation sync is also enabled.
Reservation sync
In sync settings, Reservation sync can never be toggled off. As long as the Sync toggle is enabled on a property's Overview page, the Reservation sync is enabled for that property.
However, this sync setting only matters for non-PMS listings.
These are listings that are not fully claimed or managed by Hospitable.
Non-PMS listings are:
All other connection and listing types are considered fully PMS connected:
Airbnb PMS.
Vrbo Partner.
Any Booking.com connection.
If you toggle Sync off on a property's Overview page, Hospitable will still continue to sync reservation blocks between Airbnb PMS, Vrbo Partner, and Booking.com. However, it will not sync reservation blocks to unclaimed Airbnb listings or Vrbo Legacy-connected listings.
How the rest of the syncs work
Hospitable is not reliant on the Pricing, Availability, or Minimum night stay sync settings in order to push to your listing calendars!
Hospitable will continue to push any changes made in your Hospitable calendar (manually, by Hospitable's Dynamic pricing feature, by changing your property's settings in Hospitable, or a third-party dynamic pricing tool software) to your Airbnb PMS, Vrbo Partner, Vrbo Legacy, and Booking.com calendars.
💡 Disabling Sync on the property's Overview page, or disabling sync settings, will not stop Hospitable from pushing to your listing calendars!
When do the sync settings matter?
The only time Hospitable relies on the sync settings on your account is when your property contains a Vrbo Legacy listing, and this listing is the Lead listing on the property.
When a Vrbo Legacy listing is the lead listing on a property, Hospitable will check your Vrbo calendar every 4.5 hours for updates. Those updates will then be pulled into the Hospitable calendar and pushed out to the other listings on the property, based on the enabled sync settings.
Hospitable only does this when a Vrbo Legacy listing is the lead listing on a property. If an Airbnb PMS listing, a Vrbo Partner listing, or a Booking.com listing is the lead listing on a property, Hospitable does not pull in calendar updates from those calendars at all!
How to stop calendar pushes from Hospitable
Calendar pushes, or control from Hospitable cannot be stopped without Muting your property or disconnecting your listings from Hospitable.
Disabling sync settings, dynamic pricing, or any other feature on Hospitable does not stop Hospitable from pushing to your listing calendars.
If you don't want Hospitable to push to your listing calendars, you will need to either:
Mute your property on Hospitable.
Disconnect the listing from Hospitable.
