Channel Manager

Software that synchronizes a rental's availability calendar and rates across multiple booking platforms simultaneously.

A channel manager is software that connects a short-term rental to multiple booking platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, direct booking website) and keeps all calendars, rates, and availability in sync in real time. Without a channel manager, listing on multiple platforms risks double-bookings. Popular STR channel managers include Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, and Hostfully. Professional property managers use channel managers to maximize distribution without operational risk.
