Connecting a new unit to Airbnb API
Below is a brief check list before connecting a new unit
Airbnb API Connection Checklist
☐ Minimum Stay
- Confirm the minimum stay is set to 1 night in Airbnb before connecting.
☐ Arrival & Departure Restrictions
- Ensure all arrival days are unticked.
- Ensure all departure days are unticked.
This allows the connection to override any existing stay restrictions when the API is established.
This is located in the Availability/Price tab of the listing in Airbnb.
☐ Connect the Unit
- Complete the Airbnb API connection.
☐ Allow Time for Synchronisation
- Wait 2–3 minutes after connecting.
- This gives Airbnb time to receive and apply the changes from our system.
☐ Percentage Uplift (If Required)
- If you need to adjust the percentage uplift, make the change.
- Publish the changes after updating the uplift so they are sent to Airbnb.
Final Check:
☐ Verify the connection has completed successfully and that the settings have synced correctly with Airbnb.
