Summary

AI-generated

This video warns hosts about the potential conflict between dedicated dynamic pricing tools and the built-in pricing features of Property Management Systems (PMS). Many channel managers are adding native pricing optimizations that can accidentally overwrite data from tools like PriceLabs, leading to incorrect rates on OTAs.

Key insights

  • When using a third-party pricing tool like PriceLabs, the data flow typically goes from the pricing tool to the channel manager (PMS) and then to the OTAs (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.).

Mistakes to avoid

  • Accidentally activating a PMS's native pricing feature while also using a professional pricing tool; this can cause the PMS to overwrite your strategic rates with its own algorithm before sending them to the OTA.
