Listing Setup : Airbnb - Starting the OwnerRez Setup
Listing Setup: Airbnb - The Setup
Connecting your Airbnb account to OwnerRez is the first handshake between the two systems: you authorise OwnerRez to access your Airbnb account through its channel integration. At this stage the listing is deliberately not linked yet, so nothing on Airbnb changes until your OwnerRez property and settings are ready to sync.

Questions people ask
Can I connect an existing Airbnb account to OwnerRez?
Yes. OwnerRez connects to an existing Airbnb account through its channel integrations, and Airbnb asks you to approve the connection.
Will connecting OwnerRez change my Airbnb listing straight away?
Not if the listing is left unlinked. Connecting the account and linking a specific listing are separate stages, so you can connect first and link later.
