BookingSync and Rentals United
In order to connect your BookingSync and Rentals United account, you have to:
- Login to your BookingSync account
- Go to AppCenter and select “Rentals United”
After those steps are made, the connection between Rentals United and BookingSync will be established.
Your Rentals United username will be the same as the email you log into BookingSync with.
Only the properties marked as Instantly Bookable will be distributed to Rentals United.
On BookingSync, make sure you have selected the payment gateway under Rentals > Private > Payment Gateway.
Any editing of the Property information should be done in your BookingSync account (changes made directly in Rentals United will be overwritten in the next sync). Once you are connected to the sales channels, the property information will also be automatically distributed to the channels.
When you receive bookings from the sales channels, they will automatically be inserted into Rentals United and BookingSync.
If you want to add a new property to Rentals United/Sales channels, you need to first sync it from BookingSync.
