⚠️ As of October 17, 2023, the new synchronization of extras is available.

From the profile of each of your accommodations, in the rates section, access to configure and link your extras with the portals.

This way, you'll be able to manage all your extras from a single place.

If you already have an extra created, simply edit it and select the type of extra you want to synchronize with the portals.

Pay attention to the icons of the portals that are connecting, as not all extras are supported by the portals.

For instance, the final cleaning extra is supported by all portals. However, the parking extra is not supported by Airbnb.

🔴 The following points should be considered when synchronizing an extra

  • Once you specify the type of extra you want to synchronize, it will be configured and managed from a single location, which will be the extras section in the accommodation profile. Keep in mind that if you previously configured it in another section, as was the case, for example, in a complete Booking.com connection, where cleaning was defined within the Booking.com connection settings.

  • The period (date range) is only supported for bookings through the booking engine; no portal allows you to set application dates for an extra. So, if there were dates on a synchronized extra, they would apply throughout the year.

  • If you do not wish to synchronize an extra, you should choose "other" as the type. This way, for example, you can publish extras only for your booking engine.

  • The extras you synchronize with the portals, and therefore have a defined type, will be included in the total booking amount and will be itemized in each booking you receive.

  • The "required" option only applies to some extras. As you know, extras like final cleaning are always included in the total booking amount and cannot be selected by the traveler at the time of booking. Electricity, parking, Internet, firewood, crib, and pets are always optional.

  • The "assumed by the owner" option will help you use the amount of that extra to calculate the service commission or view it in the expense control.

These are the extras you can synchronize with the portals. Although some of them are not supported by all portals.

⚠️ Attention! Until October 17, 2023, and as long as you do not perform the synchronization of extras from the profile of each of your accommodations, the extras with each of the portals you connect to will be managed and operated differently.
