Airbnb Listing Editor: Overview

iGMS offers seamless connection to your Airbnb account(s). You can easily manage and work with your Airbnb listings’ settings directly on iGMS via the Airbnb Listing Editor. The level of access to your listings’ settings depends on the sync type you set on iGMS.

How do I find the Airbnb Listing Editor?

If you already have an active Airbnb listing, you can go to the Account and Listings section and click on it to call the Property Editor. On your right-hand side top corner and click on the Airbnb channel name.

If you do not have an Airbnb listing yet, you can create it from iGMS.

What settings can I manage in the Airbnb Listing Editor?

Depending on the sync type of your Airbnb listing, you will have access to a different set of settings to manage on iGMS.

iGMS offers three types of synchronization settings with Airbnb listings:

  1. Sync Pricing and Availability (set by default for newly connected listings)
  2. Sync Everything
  3. Disconnected (not recommended)

Regardless of your sync type, you will see the listing’s name at the very top with a link leading to the listing on Airbnb.

At the right-hand side, you will find a section showing: 

  • The host’s name
  • The listing’s status ( listed or unlisted)
  • The iGMS sync type
  • A set of sections that are currently editable in iGMS

There’s also a blue Update button in case any changes have been made by you.

By default, upon connecting to iGMS, your listing will have the Sync Pricing and Availability Sync type.

With this sync type you have access to the following settings on iGMS:

Pricing, which includes:

  • Currency of the property, just like on Airbnb
  • Base Price value
  • Weekend Price
  • Weekly discount (%)
  • Monthly discount (%)
  • Early-bird discounts
  • Last-minute discounts
  • Security deposit
  • Number of guests permitted without any extra fees
  • Price per extra person
  • Cleaning Fee
  • Short-term cleaning fee
  • Pet Fee
  • Resort Fee
  • Management Fee
  • Community Fee

Availability, which includes:

  • Number of minimum and maximum stay nights
  • Advanced notice for an incoming reservation
  • Distant requests
  • Preparation time
  • And an option to customize when the check-in time is allowed based on the days of the week.

If you change the default sync type to the Sync Everything, you will have access to all of the settings for the Airbnb listings on iGMS.

Apart from Pricing and Availability you will be able to manage and update:

General information, which includes:

  • Title
  • Address
  • Photos
  • Amenities
  • Property type
  • Room type

Description, with the following fields:

  • Listing’s description
  • The area’s description
  • Guest access and interaction
  • Neighborhood overview and some tips on how to get around
  • Other notes for the guest

Booking settings:

  • Maximum number of guests
  • Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
  • Check-in and checkout time
  • General and additional house rules
  • Instant Booking and a greeting for instant booking
  • Cancellation Policy

Registration:

  • Information type
  • Permit number
  • Host’s email
  • Host’s full legal name

In the Disconnected sync type, you do not have access to the Airbnb Listing Editor.

Important: you can only change settings in one place at a time (either iGMS or Airbnb). If you’ve changed your listing sync type and have settings available on iGMS, you will not be able to edit them on Airbnb.

If you have any questions about the Airbnb Listing Editor settings, please contact our Customer Experience team via Live Chat or by email at support@igms.com.
