When connecting your RentalWise properties to any OTA (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo), you can choose between Full Sync or Rates & Availability synchronization.
It is CRUCIAL to understand the differences to manage your listings effectively and know what you control directly from RentalWise.
Sync Options Explained
✅ 1. Full Sync
With Full Sync, RentalWise becomes your source of truth, meaning all property-related content is managed directly from RentalWise. Any changes made in RentalWise will reflect automatically on your connected OTA channels.
You can manage the following:
Images
Property Information
Descriptions
Policies
Bed Configurations
Amenities
Rates
Availability
Discounts & Coupons
Length of Stay Discounts
📌 Ideal for: Users who want complete control of their property information and prefer to manage everything from a single platform. (Any changes on OTA's will be overridden by RentalWise)
✅ 2. Rates & Availability
When choosing Rates & Availability sync, only the following are managed from RentalWise:
Rates
Availability
Policies
Other content such as images, descriptions, and amenities must be managed directly on the OTA.
📌 Ideal for: Users who already have detailed content on the OTA and want to only manage pricing and availability from RentalWise.

Avoid content mismatches between RentalWise and OTA listings.
Decide which platform to use for different aspects of property management.
Ensure a smooth and efficient synchronization process.
