Setting up your pricing perfectly on major platforms like Airbnb is crucial for keeping your revenue on track. NightsBridge works quietly in the background to make sure your rates display beautifully and accurately to potential guests.
Here is exactly how NightsBridge syncs your pricing with Airbnb:
The Basics of Your Airbnb Rates
When you set up your standard rates for online bookings (often called RACK or STO rates) in your NightsBridge system, they include your VAT and the commission payable to the channel. Because NightsBridge updates these rates directly to Airbnb for you, the final booking rate your property receives is always the straightforward gross amount.
Whether you prefer to charge a flat rate for the whole room (unit pricing) or charge based on the exact number of guests (per-person pricing), NightsBridge will seamlessly update your chosen pricing structure straight to your Airbnb listing.
A quick tip for large group stays: Airbnb's system is built to accept rates for up to a maximum of 16 people per booking!
How Discounts and Specials Look to Your Guests
Airbnb's system is cleverly designed to always show potential guests the most attractive, competitive rate available for your property. However, exactly how that special rate looks depends on the specific connection type you chose for your property:
If you use the Standard Rate Connection:
Airbnb will beautifully display any specials with an eye-catching strikethrough over your original price, which is a fantastic way to promote your discounted rate.
If you use the Rate Plan Connection:
Your discounts will still apply, but they will not show with a strikethrough on your listing. Just keep in mind that if you offer guests a choice between two different rate plans, Airbnb's rule is that the cheapest rate plan must always have the strictest cancellation policy.
