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:
