Listing Setup: Vrbo - Initiating the VRBO Connection

Listing Setup: Vrbo - Setup

In short

Connecting Vrbo to OwnerRez turns Vrbo from a manually managed listing into a channel controlled from one place. Vrbo needs a listing ID to start the connection, so a basic placeholder listing is enough, because OwnerRez overwrites its content once approved. After approval, OwnerRez pushes pricing, availability, descriptions and policies across, which can take around a day to show fully on Vrbo.

Questions people ask

Does my Vrbo listing need to be perfect before connecting OwnerRez?

No. Vrbo only needs a listing ID to start the connection, and OwnerRez replaces the listing content once the integration is approved.

How long after connecting does Vrbo show my OwnerRez data?

Once the integration is approved, it can take around 24 hours for the Vrbo listing to fully reflect what is set up in OwnerRez.
