How to Integrate PriceLabs with Airbnb

How to Integrate PriceLabs with Airbnb

PriceLabs can send daily rates, minimum stay requirements, and check-in restrictions to Airbnb for up to 540 days in advance.

Before You Start

Before proceeding with the integration, keep the following in mind:
  1. Disconnect PMS/Channel Manager: If you’ve used a Property Management System (PMS) or Channel Manager before, make sure it's no longer connected to your Airbnb account. Check this on Airbnb under Account → Privacy & Sharing → Services.
  2. Integrate with PMS, Not Airbnb: If you're still using a PMS or Channel Manager, integrate PriceLabs with your PMS, not directly with Airbnb. Data will flow from PriceLabs → PMS → Airbnb/VRBO/other channels.
  3. Ensure Listings are Active: The listings you want to connect must be live and bookable on Airbnb. Listings that are snoozed, have no availability, or are newly created cannot be imported into PriceLabs.
  4. Co-Host Permissions: If you’re a co-host, make sure your permissions are set to Full Access.

Step 1: Prepare Your Airbnb Account

  1. Log in to your Airbnb account.
    1. If connecting multiple Airbnb accounts, sign out of the first account and log in to the second before proceeding.
  2. If Smart Pricing is enabled on Airbnb, turn it off. It could conflict with the prices set by PriceLabs, causing discrepancies in your pricing.
  3. If you have an existing ruleset on Airbnb and a check-in restriction in PriceLabs, the sync may fail. To prevent this, either delete your rulesets on Airbnb or avoid setting check-in restrictions in PriceLabs.

Step 2: Connecting Airbnb to PriceLabs

  1. Log into PriceLabs.
  2. Click "Add your listings" (if you have no listings) or "Add/Reconnect Listings" (if you already have listings).
  3. Select "Airbnb/Houfy/Vrbo" and choose Airbnb from the dropdown.



  4. Click "Connect with Airbnb" and you will be redirected to Airbnb's website to authorize PriceLabs to pull your properties. Click "Allow" to confirm.



  5. Once connected, your Airbnb listings will appear in your PriceLabs dashboard

Step 4: Reviewing & Syncing Prices

  1. Follow the Getting Started guide to set up your listings.
  2. Review your pricing and settings in PriceLabs.
  3. Enable Sync Prices for automatic updates, or click "Sync Now" to push updates immediately.
  4. Check your Airbnb account to verify updates:
    1. Your PriceLabs rates will appear on the Airbnb calendar as shown below:



    2. Your minimum stay & check-in rules will appear under Settings → Availability → Custom Trip Lengths as shown below:


Additional Setup Options/Features Supported

Syncing PriceLabs with other channels e.g. Houfy and Vrbo

If you're connecting Airbnb and other channels like Vrbo and Houfy to PriceLabs, calendars won't sync between them. To block booked dates across platforms, set up an iCal connection between Vrbo and Airbnb. Check our blog for a step-by-step guide.

Mapping Listings

To avoid double billing, map your listings across channels by following our mapping guide. If you're using PriceLabs' estimated base price, set a base price for the parent listing, as estimated prices don’t transfer to child listings.

Pricing Offset

Once mapped, use the pricing offset to adjust for commission differences. Set your pricing offset customization and check-in/out restrictions for Airbnb at the account level from the Customizations Page to apply the settings to all listings at once.

Migrating from IGMS/Beds24 Bridge to Direct Airbnb Connection 

If you've previously imported your Airbnb listing through the IGMS/Beds24 bridge, we recommend migrating to our direct Airbnb connection. Here's how to do it:
  1. Import your Airbnb listing(s) to PriceLabs directly by following the steps above.
  2. Copy all of your customizations from the old Airbnb-IGMS/Beds24 listings to the corresponding new Airbnb listing by mapping the old and new listings:
    1. From the Pricing Dashboard page, click the map listings  button 
    2. Select the Parent Listing (old Airbnb-IGMS/Beds24 listings) from the dropdown
    3. Select your Child Listings (newly imported Airbnb listings) from the dropdown
    4. Click "Map Listings"
  3. Turn ON the Sync Prices switch for the new Airbnb listings. Then, click Sync Now.
  4. Review your Airbnb calendar and confirm that prices are updated correctly.
  5. Turn OFF the Sync Prices switch for the old Airbnb-IGMS/Beds24 listings.
  6. Hide or delete your old Airbnb-IGMS/Beds24 listings. 
    1. Click Dynamic Pricing from the top banner and go to Manage Listings.
    2. Go to the Mapped Listings tab.
    3. Click the Trash Bin to delete or the Eye to hide the old listings.
