Vacation rental distribution
Channel manager for vacation rentals
Coordinate availability, rates and bookings across connected sales channels. Plubox uses Channex to connect your property and rate setup with the channels you use.
How the channel connection works
Connect through Channex
Set up the provider connection and the sales channels available for your account, such as Booking.com or Airbnb.
Map properties and rates
Match the accommodation groups and rate plans in Plubox to the inventory and rates used by the channel.
Coordinate updates and reservations
Send availability, rates and supported restrictions, and receive channel reservations back into Plubox.
Keep distribution connected to your daily work
Rates and restrictions together
Coordinate prices and supported stay restrictions through the same connection. The fields available depend on the channel and its integration.
Reservations return to Plubox
Bring channel reservations into your operating workflow, alongside guest arrivals, tasks and payments, instead of treating distribution as a separate calendar.
Prepare the connection for your properties
- Have the required access to your sales-channel accounts and the Channex connection.
- Review the accommodation-group and rate-plan mapping before relying on channel updates.
- Check the features supported by each channel. Connection requirements and synchronization behavior can differ.
Channel manager questions
Can I connect Booking.com and Airbnb?
Plubox uses Channex for channel distribution. Booking.com and Airbnb are among its channels; the connections you can use depend on your account and setup.
Does every channel support the same information?
No. Availability, rate, restriction and reservation capabilities depend on the channel integration. Confirm the required fields and workflow during setup.
What should I check when setting up a channel?
Review the mapping of properties and rate plans, then check availability, prices and reservations in the connected channel. Continue monitoring the connection as part of your routine.
Connect distribution with the rest of your operation
Review Plubox pricing and prepare your property and rate mapping. Support can help you identify the connection requirements for your channels.
