Summary

AI-generated

This session provides a technical walkthrough of integrating Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) with OwnerRez. It covers critical configuration requirements for surcharges and discounts, the importance of the Listing Quality Analyzer, and the strategic use of 'Channel Blackouts' over delisting to maintain search visibility and avoid long re-syncing periods.

Key insights

  • Google Vacation Rentals has strict surcharge requirements; specifically, additional guest fees must be configured as 'per guest, per night' rather than 'per stay' for the listing to be accepted.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to check if your Stripe (or other payment processor) account is assigned to all specific properties, which often causes 'Instant Book' selections to appear as disabled in the integration settings.

Tools & resources

  • OwnerReztool

    The primary property management system used to facilitate the Google Vacation Rentals connection and manage listing data.
