Syncing calendars with a channel manager
As soon as you rent on more than one platform, you risk double bookings. A channel manager keeps all your calendars in sync, so a booking on Airbnb instantly blocks the date on Booking.

What a channel manager does
A channel manager connects your listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and your own site to one central calendar. A new booking or cancellation is applied everywhere at once. That prevents the most painful scenario in renting: two guests on the same date.
Many tools also sync prices and minimum stays across channels.
Linking to your check-in
The real win comes when your channel manager works with your access management. For every new booking an access code is created automatically and guest registration is started. The whole chain from booking to check-in runs without manual work.
