Summary

AI-generated

Hosts using a Property Management System (PMS) will learn how to maintain their net payout after Airbnb's fee structure change on October 27th. The video explains that Airbnb will now deduct 15.5% directly from payouts, requiring hosts to adjust their channel markup in their PMS to 18.34% to offset this.

Key insights

  • To maintain the same net payout after Airbnb's fee update, hosts connected via a PMS must increase their Airbnb channel markup to 18.34%.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Applying the same markup across all channels (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com, direct booking) can lead to being overpriced on non-Airbnb platforms.
