Configure integration settings on Property Stack
Authorize Property Stack to access your Airbnb account
Step 1: Access Airbnb Integration Settings

Step 3: Configure Connection Details
Connection Name: Enter a recognizable name for this Airbnb profile to easily distinguish it from others (e.g., "Josh's Airbnb").
Default Multiplier: If you want to automatically mark up prices to cover Airbnb commissions (commonly 16.5%), enter 1.165 here.
β
Note: We recommend applying commission markups in PriceLabs for better control.
Optional Step: Remove Existing PMS Provider on Airbnb
1. Navigate to Airbnb Privacy and Sharing Settings
Go to Airbnb Privacy and Sharing.
Click on the "Services" tab.
2. Remove Access to Current PMS Provider
Click the "Remove access" button next to any currently active PMS provider.
Confirm by clicking the black "Remove access" button.
Step 4: Generate Host Token ID
Ensure you are logged in to the Airbnb account you want to connect.
Tick the Generate Client ID checkbox.
Click the Open button to authorize OTA connection on Airbnb.
βWhen prompted by Airbnb, click Allow to connect OTA Switch.
βCopy the Host Token provided by Airbnb.
Paste the token into PropertyStack and click Next.
Step 5: Confirm Airbnb Account Connection
Once the token is validated, you will see the Airbnb account successfully added. All active listings under that Airbnb profile will display here.
Step 6: Map Listings
Set the PropertyStack Listing Name and PropertyStack Rate Name (usually same as listing name) and then press Map.
Enter the Maximum Occupancy and click Next.
Complete the general mapping steps.
We highly recommend you do this within Airbnb rather than from in here.
Just because Airbnb has very sensitive parameters on what to have for images and photos. It's a lot easier to do it from there and then map it through in PropertyStack.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you will successfully integrate your Airbnb account with Property Stack. This integration allows for seamless synchronization of your Airbnb listings and reservations, improving your property management efficiency.
