Advantages Of Search and Stay Channel Manager

Keep Calendars & Bookings Up-To-Date

Instant synchronization means that errors such as overbooking or double bookings are far less likely to occur. Once a property has been booked on a channel, the channel manager will automatically remove the availability for those dates on the other channels.

Save Time and Effort

A channel manager saves holiday rental owners and property managers numerous hours a week - that they would otherwise spend on manual tasks, such as cross-checking availabilities and updating calendars on each platform.

Manage All Your Reservations From One Place

Stop using multiple accounts. Search and Stay Channel Manager two-way, seamless integrations automatically synchronize your listings on all external portals. Oversee all your bookings from one place on your Search and Stay owner portal and save time and effort for managing your holiday property or holiday rental management business.

Vary Rates To Maximize Profit

While it’s free to list on most rental platform and Online Travel Agents, the majority charge a percentage of the booking amount as a commission. Via your Search and Stay Channel Manager you can include these commissions or fees (as a percentage) into your base rates to cover your costs.

Increase Your Properties Visibility

Add your properties to more external portals and gain extra visibility. Export all your content, bookings and rates across as many sites as you choose in just a few minutes. Spend that extra time to optimize your listings and increase your online presence.

Oversee All Your Bookings on a Multi-Calendar

Search and Stay’s multi-calendar offers a clear overview of all your bookings from your portal on the Search and Stay website and all other external listings sites. Change your rates and accept reservations from all your listings directly on one centralized calendar.

Online Calendar (iCal) integrations

If you have listings on other channels not included in the 60 plus sites that we connect to you can still connect them to your Search and Stay listing via iCal information in your property listing. An iCal integration allows you to display calendar data and room availability from another application in your Search and Stay owner portal. It’s a good alternative for booking sites that don’t provide direct integration with our Channel Manager or to use as an alternative to the Channel Manager. You will find your iCal in each different site or OTA that you are listed on.
