Overview
When your Airbnb connection is set up through the Amenitiz Channel Manager, you can manage some of the Airbnb-side settings (pricing defaults, security deposit, length of stay rules, etc.) directly from Amenitiz. This article walks through the settings page and what each field does.
Before you start
This article only applies to Airbnb connections set up from the Channel Manager in Amenitiz. If your Airbnb is connected another way, the settings page won't be available — contact support.
The prices sent to Airbnb are the ones in your Amenitiz inventory, not the default daily price on this settings page. The default daily price is only the fallback used before the connection takes over.
Some fields have minimum values: Default daily price ≥ €15, Security deposit ≥ €85.

FAQs
Why doesn't my default daily price match what's shown on Airbnb?
Why doesn't my default daily price match what's shown on Airbnb?
The default daily price is just a pre-connection fallback. Once the Channel Manager connection is active, the prices sent to Airbnb come from your Amenitiz inventory. Update the inventory to change the live Airbnb price.
What happens to length-of-stay and check-in/check-out rules once I'm connected?
What happens to length-of-stay and check-in/check-out rules once I'm connected?
The values shown on the Airbnb settings page are the pre-connection defaults, but your Amenitiz inventory settings take over once the connection is live. Manage these rules from your Amenitiz inventory.
Can I make the cleaning fee optional?
Can I make the cleaning fee optional?
No. If you set a cleaning fee on the Airbnb settings page, it's added to every booking automatically. To remove it for all bookings, clear the field and click Update.
Why does my Airbnb listing show as unbookable?
Why does my Airbnb listing show as unbookable?
The most common cause is the Max. advanced booking field — if it's not set to "all available", Airbnb won't let guests book. Open the Airbnb Settings page for the accommodation and confirm that field is set correctly.
