New features and improvements


Distribution: new restrictions for Airbnb content fields

Airbnb listings cannot contain any e-mail addresses, website URLs, phone numbers, emojis, repeated special characters, or words in all capital letters. As a result, Channel Manager now enforces these same restrictions for Airbnb content fields, so you will not be able to save certain fields if they contain unvalidated content.

Distribution: add house rules, fees when mapping to Airbnb

When mapping to Airbnb, you now have the option to add house rules, such as your smoking policy, pets policy, etc, and standard fees — e.g. cleaning — via Channel Manager and sync them to your Airbnb listing(s), giving you an easier way to more accurately update and advertise your house rules and fees to potential guests.

Pay: SiteMinder Pay now available in Croatia, Finland, and Lithuania

SiteMinder Pay, our official payment gateway solution, is now available in Croatia, Finland, and Lithuania, providing customers in these countries with a quick and secure way to process payments and refunds using Channel Manager.
