Match Airbnb Listings with Booking.com

After you activated the connection successfully between your Booking.com account and Your Porter App, go to More -> Your Listings and click on a listing to start. Choose Add Another Channel in the menu which appears at the bottom of the screen.

You can complete this status with 3 easy steps: Link Airbnb listings with Booking.com rooms, set pricing rules for Booking.com and choose payment processor.

On this screen, besides iCal sync options for HomeAway and TripAdvisor, Booking.com requires a more complicated integration. Click on Link Booking.com to start matching your listings with Booking.com rooms.

1. Link Airbnb Listings with Booking.com Rooms

You will see all of your properties and rooms on Booking.com. Just select the room which matches current Airbnb listing.

2. Set Pricing Rules for Booking.com

After you select your Booking.com room type, you will see available rate categories for this room type. If you use multiple rate categories for your listing, Your Porter App will update only one rate category by default. You need to select which rate category in Booking.com you want to update when you adjust prices.

If you use multiple rates in Booking.com, you need to set other rates to be updated relatively to Standard Rate which you update with Your Porter App. For example, you may want to offer a 10% discount for the non-refundable rate in Booking.com. In this case, you need to set the non-refundable rate less than 10% of Standard Rate. When Your Porter App updates Standard Rate, your non-refundable rate will be updated automatically. This is the best way to handle multiple rate categories in Booking.com.

Due to differences in commission policies between Airbnb and Booking.com, Your Porter App can update your prices on Booking.com using your rules over Airbnb prices. You can create various rules and relations between Airbnb and Booking.com prices. By default, we add 15% to Airbnb prices when we update Booking.com rates. You can easily change this rules when you match your Airbnb listings with Booking.com rooms.

You can play around with pricing rules below and discover your possibilities.

3. Choose Payment Processor

After you match all of your listings and define pricing rules for Booking.com rooms, you need to choose your payment processor. If you are eligible for Payments by Booking.com program, please choose a related option. Otherwise, you need to link each property with a Stripe account. You can learn more about payment processors.

You can always adjust pricing rules after you create the initial connection.

Final Step to Sync Reservations and Rates

Once you link all of your Booking.com properties with your existing Airbnb listings, our team will approve your connection to start syncing your reservations and rates. At this step you need to confirm one last time from your Booking.com Extranet. After the connection is successfully activated, you can sync and manage everything from Your Porter App.
