Details:
Setting Up Property Information:
Begin by setting up your "Property Information". Not all fields are mandatory initially; you can proceed with the creation and update these details later.
Start by clicking the "Create Property" button in [Manage Console] → [Property List].
Select "New property from scratch" and click Next Step button if you don't have any OTA channel connected. If you have already added any OTA channel, select "Import a property from OTA channel" and choose channel and property to import. "Import a property from OTA channel" will import some property information from channel to help you enter property information easier.
* If your property is vacation rental type property having only one inventory, it's recommended to import from Airbnb channel if available.
* If your property is hotel type property having multiple inventories, it's recommended to import from OTAs such as Booking.com, Expedia.
Enter a "Name" that will be displayed within the PMS.
Enter the address and verify it on the map. "Building Name" and "Property Tags" are optional.
Note: Property Tags, such as "Tokyo" or "Osaka", can be used for filtering among multiple facilities by region and can be set up later.
Select a "Property Type" based on the type of inventory managed. For instance, choose 'Hotel' even if the property is an apartment managing more than one unit.
Note: Once set, "Property Type" cannot be changed. If you encounter issues, please contact the support desk.
Hotel | At least 2 rooms in the inventory |
Apartment | Only one room in the inventory (e.g., single-building rentals or private accommodations) |
For the "Property Settings", set up names and descriptions in different languages (Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean) that will appear on the guest pages.
