Listing Setup: Booking.com - OwnerRez Setup
Listing Setup: Booking.com - Setup
Before connecting Booking.com, OwnerRez needs its presets configured, because they decide how availability, pricing, restrictions and reservations behave once the channel is live. You also need an active Booking.com account with at least a draft listing. Once connected, OwnerRez becomes the source of truth, so availability and pricing should no longer be edited directly in Booking.com.

Questions people ask
Do I need a Booking.com listing before connecting OwnerRez?
Yes. Booking.com needs an active account with at least one listing, which can be a draft or dummy listing, before a channel manager can connect.
Can I edit prices in Booking.com after connecting OwnerRez?
It's best not to. Once connected, OwnerRez should control availability and pricing so the channels stay consistent.
What is the OwnerRez Booking.com full API connection?
It is a deeper integration, in beta, that lets OwnerRez push photos and property content to Booking.com as well as rates and availability.
