Instead of typing a place in again, the Rentiqa Importer browser extension reads your own Airbnb or Vrbo hosting pages while you are signed in there, and sends what it finds to Rentiqa for you to review. It never sees your password for the other site.
Set it up
- Get the extension (for Chrome or Edge). It is not in the browser stores yet: open Import & Connect (Import & Connect) and ask the Rentiqa team for the install steps.
- On Import & Connect, press Connect extension. A connection lasts a limited time; you can Revoke it any time under Connections.
Import
- Open your Airbnb or Vrbo hosting dashboard, click the extension's icon and start the capture. Let it work through the listing, photos, pricing, calendar and reviews without touching that tab. Reservations are not imported: keep the other platform's bookings off your Rentiqa calendar by syncing your calendars instead.
- Choose what to include and press Send to Rentiqa.
- Back on Import & Connect, press Review on the new import. For each record choose to create it, update an existing one, or skip it. Press Commit to Rentiqa (or Discard).
After importing
Imported places are short-term rentals. They appear on your Dashboard as not public: check the price, photos and details, then Make public. Importing again updates what you imported before rather than duplicating it.
Reviews come across from your public listing page: the guest's first name, their rating, their words and your reply, up to the first twenty-four on Airbnb and the first ten on Vrbo. They appear on your Reviews page (Guest reviews) marked with the platform they came from, count in your average rating, and are not reprinted on your Rentiqa listing. A reply is made on the platform the review came from; it comes across on the next import. To keep future bookings from clashing, also sync your calendars.
