Property Sync

How does the Sync toggle on the Property's page work, and what does it do?

While sub-sync settings have become less relevant with the move to the Airbnb Property Management Software (PMS) scope, there is still one scenario where your sync settings are relevant: when the Vrbo listing is the lead listing on your property.

Property Sync setting

Each property has a β€œSync” setting which can be enabled or disabled.

This sync setting determines whether or not the property follows the sub-sync settings on your Hospitable account. The sub-sync settings are:

  1. Reservation sync

  2. Availability sync

  3. Pricing sync

  4. Minimum night stay sync

If Sync is enabled, then the property will follow the sync settings on your Hospitable account. If the Sync setting is disabled, then the property will not follow any of the sub-sync settings!

Reservation Sync

Reservation Sync helps you avoid double bookings. It is automatically enabled as long as Sync is enabled for your property.

When Sync is enabled, and a booking is accepted, cancelled, or altered, those dates will be immediately blocked/unblocked accordingly for the other listings on the property (this also applies to listings on another property in a Parent/Child relationship with the property).

Reservation Sync runs for:

  • Other listings within the same property (for example, when you receive a booking on Airbnb, Reservation Sync will block your other listings' calendars).

  • Listings in a different property that are in a Parent/Child relationship with the property.

Reservation sync cannot be toggled off without toggling all sync settings off for the property.

How to Change Sync Settings

Enable/Disable Sync for a Particular Property

When listings are first merged into a single property, containing a Vrbo listing, Sync will be enabled by default. When you select a property (Properties > Click on your Property), you'll see the Sync toggle to enable/disable Sync for that specific property.

Disabling Sync here will disable all sub-sync settings for this specific property, including Reservation Sync. In most instances, this is not recommended.

Enable/Disable Sub-Sync Settings (Availability, Pricing, and Minimum Night Stay)

You can change these Sync settings at the account level by going to Settings > Preferences > Sync. These settings will apply to all properties that have Sync enabled.
