How to integrate PriceLabs with Airbnb via iGMS

How to integrate PriceLabs with Airbnb via iGMS

First things first, if you use a PMS (Property Management System) or a Channel Manager, do note that you'll need to integrate PriceLabs with your PMS, and NOT directly with Airbnb/VRBO. When using a PMS, the flow of data goes from PriceLabs => PMS => Airbnb/VRBO/other channels.

PriceLabs will send rates, minimum stay requirements, and check-in restrictions to Airbnb listings for the next 540 days. (See our article here on extending your pricing calendar beyond that point).

You can connect as either a host or a co-host but a listing can only be managed from one PriceLabs account. You can send a request to support@pricelabs.co if you'd like to move a listing to another PriceLabs account.

Weekly and monthly discounts, check-out restrictions, and maximum stay length are NOT set by PriceLabs for Airbnb listings, they must be managed through Airbnb. 

If you wish to import your Airbnb listings with the help of iGMS, please reach out to support@pricelabs.co 
This is a request-only feature and will be granted from the backend.
Once you have access, please proceed to follow the steps below.

You can also go ahead and import Airbnb listings with the help of the Chrome Extension.
A detailed guide is here.

Before connecting

Creating an Airbnb Password

If you usually log in to Airbnb using your Phone Number, Facebook, Google, or Apple account, you'll need to create an Airbnb password to integrate your account with PriceLabs. See this help article for how to create an Airbnb password.

PMS connection

If you used a PMS in the past, make sure it is no longer connected to your Airbnb account. You can check this on Airbnb, in Account > Privacy & sharing > Services. Do note that if you are integrating PriceLabs with your Airbnb account, you should remove the connection between Airbnb and the PMS you previously used. 
If you are still using a PMS, you should connect PriceLabs with your PMS, and NOT directly with Airbnb, otherwise, you might run into issues.

Importing Airbnb listings into PriceLabs

Before getting started make sure the listings you are trying to connect are LIVE and bookable on Airbnb. Listings that are snoozed, have no availability, or have just been created can not be imported into PriceLabs.

Step 1: Log into PriceLabs and click on Add/reconnect Listings button.


Step 2: Click on "Airbnb/VRBO/Houfy" and then select Airbnb from the dropdown. Choose iGMS as shown below and then click on "proceed with iGMS ":


Step 3: Upon clicking on "proceed with iGMS", a window pops up, with the details about the iGMS connection steps, as shown below. Once you have read through it, click on "continue with iGMS":


At this stage, if you do not already have an iGMS account, we will create one for you. Credentials to this iGMS account will be sent to you via email.


Step 4: After clicking on "continue with iGMS", it will redirect you to the iGMS page, there, click on "connect Airbnb account":


Step 4: Click on allow access on the screen below:


Step 5: After allowing access, you will be presented with the below screen. You can choose to allow or deny access.
If allowed, you will be redirected to our PriceLabs page where you can see your listings added, or you might see an error message, if the listings are already added in some other listings.
Reach out to support@pricelabs.co in the latter scenario.
