Article Summary: This step-by-step tutorial explains how to effectively set up and manage Airbnb promotions directly within Reservit Accommodation. You will learn how to configure default pricing policies—such as early booking discounts, last-minute deals, and length-of-stay rates—and securely map them to your property listings. Mastering this configuration allows you to fully optimize your pricing strategy, increase your visibility on Airbnb, and seamlessly drive more bookings.
The 5 key steps to set up Airbnb promotions:
-
Access distributor mapping: Navigate to the "Partners" menu and select "Distributor mapping" to open your specific Airbnb channel settings.
-
Configure default rate policies: Opt to create general promotions at the property level by clicking the "Configure Default Rate Policy" button.
-
Define your promotional offers: Choose between early booking, last-minute, or length-of-stay discounts, and input your specific discount percentages and required booking windows.
-
Apply policies to specific units: Open the pricing policy for each individual unit and select "Default" to apply your general rules, or select "Custom" to build unique promotions for that specific room type.
-
Sync directly to Airbnb: Click the synchronization arrows to push your newly configured pricing updates to Airbnb for up to a year, then verify the live changes on the platform.
Why follow this guide? Following this precise setup ensures your promotional rates are pushed accurately to Airbnb without requiring tedious manual duplication on the OTA platform itself. By efficiently managing your pricing policies centrally through Reservit, you prevent syncing errors, save valuable administrative time, and keep your property highly competitive.
