The Hospitable.com and Rategenie integration allows you to use Rategenie's Dynamic Pricing product on all properties you have on Hospitable.com which can include VRBO, Airbnb, and Booking.com listings.
To integrate Rategenie with your Hospitable.com account, you will need to follow the below steps.
On Airbnb: Disable Smart Pricing
You will need to disable Smart Pricing on your Airbnb listings.
If Smart Pricing is enabled, Rategenie will not be able to make successful changes to your Airbnb prices, as Airbnb will override them.
On Hospitable.com: Merge your listings together
Back on Hospitable.com, we strongly recommend that you start by ensuring that you are merging your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com listings of the same property together. This may already be the case, but if you have not done so, you should follow the instructions in this article to help you merge your properties together.
On Hospitable.com: Set your markup rates
We recommend that you set up your markup rates for each listing or platform. This markup will be added to the price generated by Rategenie, when we push their rates to your listings. The markup will depend on your channel distribution strategy.
For example, if you define a markup of 10% for Airbnb, and 15% for VRBO, and Rategenie pushes a price of $100 to Hospitable, Hospitable will push a price of $110 for Airbnb, and $115 for VRBO.
You can also add listing-specific markup rates, if you would like individual markups per listing.
To create your markup rates:
Click on Settings, and click on Preferences
Click on Properties
You can then enter your markup rate for each platform.
Note: The markup rate can be a negative, positive value or zero.
On Rategenie: Set up the connection!
Login to your Rategenie account. If don't have one yet, you can sign up here.
Inside Rategenie, on the bottom left, click on Integrations.
Look for Hospitable and click on the Connect button beneath it.
You will be redirected to the Hospitable login page. Enter your credentials.
In the next screen, click on the Authorize button.
You will be redirected back to Rategenie.
Rategenie will import your Hospitable properties as Rategenie listings.
Enable your listings in Rategenie
Inside Rategenie, on the bottom left, click on Integrations.
Look for Hospitable and click on the Listings button beneath it.
By default, all listings will be inactive and won’t be shown in the Rental/Listings page or use Rategenie rates. To enable a listing for Rategenie, switch the Status toggle button on.
If you don’t enable the toggle, Rental will not be imported to Rategenie and won’t be visible anywhere in the system except the Integrations page.
Once the toggle is turned on, you can see that property in the Channel Listings and Rentals page.
Enable sync in Rategenie
To allow pushing the rates from Rategenie to Hospitable:
Go to the Rates page. Your rentals will be listed here.
Switch on the Sync toggle button found in the upper-right corner.
Go to the Channel Listings page.
Switch on the Channel Manager/Account PMS Sync toggle button found in the upper-right corner.
Select Hospitable from the list on the left side.
Switch on the Sync toggle button beside each listing that you want to enable sync for.
Go to the Rentals page and switch on the Rental Sync toggle button
Now you can go to the Rates Calendar and generate rates for the rental. To generate the rates, simply save the rate settings & link the strategy with it. To learn more about linking strategy, visit this article. You can see the generated rates on your Rategenie’s rates calendar.
Once all the syncing toggles are turned on & rates are generated, you can view the Last Sync column in the Channel Listings page.
Rategenie will now set pricing based on your configurations, and Hospitable will push that pricing plus any configured markups to your connected channels.
