How to Synchronize MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin with OTAs: Airbnb etc.

In this video, you'll learn how to connect your property rental WordPress website with OTAs using MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin. Thanks to an iCal file format, you'll be able to enable the plugin system to automatically exchange booking calendars with the external booking platforms like Airbnb. That’s a perfect solution to rent out your accommodations online directly on your own website and online travel agents at the same time without overbooking.

What level of experience do you need to use this, Do you need to have program experience to build the website

Hi, sorry but I didn't understand. From where did you take that link that you've added to the external calendars?
And from where do I take the icall link to add in the syncronization of booking.com? I want to sync 3 different rooms to booking.com. Is that possible?
Thank you

Hi, can you sync a channel managers calendar with this plugin

[Entriesoftheheart]

My sync import calendar list is empty how do I create a calendar for my room types so I can see them there to sync with the external providers?

Unfortunately when I put my ical link from my website to Airbnb, Airbnb isn't accepting the link. Says there is a problem, but doesn't tell me what it is. I don't know what else to do at this point or how to fix it. Has anyone had this issue with an OTA not accepting the given link on the website? I've got to find a solution because the whole point of the website is to talk to airbnb so there is no double booking. It's a problem that MUST be resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, how can import all data of my guest from external calendars of the OTAs? Now i can take only the reservation but the fields like name, surname of the guest and for example would be very helpfull, the OTA source, not are available.

Is it correct that airbnb is not updating? configuration is good and tested.. but airbnb does not update the calendar. AirBNB -> MotoPress Hotel is working perfect... but not the other way around

Is there a way to set prices based on groups or based on how many ppl book? Let say, for 1 pax $100, for 2 pax $180 ($90 each), for 3 pax $240 ($80 each)???

Do you have real demo that the syncronizing works?
Like for example you book a room and check on other ota if the slot has updated?

My website is running in 3 different languages. The 4 rooms I have, are translated with WMPL. The dashboard shows now 4 rooms x 3 languages = in total 12 calenders. How to sync them all? How does this work??

Hello,

I'm having trouble with the Ical synchronization. I checked the box to synchronize it automatically, and I chose that it does so every hour. The new bookings made on the external websites (ie : Airbnb) do not appear unless I click on "synchronise external calendars".
Making the synchronisation not that automatic...
Can you please help me ?

Best,

Why there is a skipped booking on my end. I have a total of 19 bookings 9 are succeeded and 10 are skipped.

This sync method will prevent double-booking between agencies (AirBnB, Booking.com etc)?

Hi, what happen if booking.com has 2 or more number of rooms for type of room? It's possible to sych with type of accomodation on wordpress?

Hi, nice video, it looks like this a very simple proceedure to synchronize OTAs but, since many hoteliers use Channel Managers to manage all their OTAs, what is the workaround for the channel manager systems. Can we synch the plugin with the iCal of the Channel manager? And what about the synchronization interval. All OTAs connected to channel managers have almost a real time feed, your plugin has 15 minutes minumum. Can we reduce it to 1-2 minutes? Thanks.

h. i imported calender from my old website. if my old web site deleted is this calender deleted?

[christianmuhlbauer]

How can I trigger a calender sync automatically every 10 seconds?

[LucaRagucci]

Hi, In "all booking" I see a lot of fake booking (all generated in the same date) that block synch system. What's wrong?

[mdmizanurrahman]

Is there any way to sync the same ical link to multiple rooms?
