Welcome to Rentals United

Highland Vision (Know Reservations) and Rentals United

 

Your properties have been pulled from your website (with Know Reservations installed) to Rentals United and are now ready to be connected to our Sales Channels. Any editing of the Property information should be done in your own site. Please bear in mind 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 automatically be pushed to the channels. When you receive bookings from the sales channels, they will automatically be inserted into Rentals United and then into your own site. If you want to add a new property to Rentals United/Sales channels then follow the instructions in the Know Reservations manual (http://support.knowreservations.com/user-guide/master/en/topic/manage-ru). If you need any additional help contact Highland Vision support via email (support@highlandvision.com) who will assist you with the sync from your own site to Rentals United. New Properties are usually pushed within 24 hours.
