Auto Updating with BnBManager

 

BnBManager and Availability Online have a two-way interface.  The first function of this interface allows you to automatically update your Availability Online calendar from your BnBManager software.  You will not need to login to your Availability Online Administration page to update the calendar's availability if you use BnBManager.

The second function of the interface allows Availability Online reservation requests to be downloaded into BnBManager.  You will have the option to Accept or Decline these reservations in BnBManager.

To Configure Auto Updating in BnBManager
Log in to BnBManager

Click on the Settings ... Interfaces menu item

The screen will show you a drop down list from which to choose the correct interface.  Select AvailabilityOnline.com and click Add.

The screen will be updated to allow you to enter the Username, Password, and to select whether you want to send rates to AvailabilityOnline or not (Send Rates field).

A list of your rooms will also be displayed on the screen.  In the Room Name for Interface field beside each room, enter the room name as it appears in AvailabilityOnline.

Click Save when complete

IMPORTANT NOTES: There is no need to manually send updates to AvailabilityOnline.  Changes to bookings and rates in BnBManager will automatically be sent to AvailabilityOnline as needed.  The first time you set up the interface (and once per year 90 days prior to the end of the year), you will be asked to Synchronize with AvailabilityOnline.  This provides the ability to send rate information for the following year to AvailabilityOnline. 

For additional set up support or questions regarding updating you can contact Availability Online or BnBManager.
