Which Settings Should You Manage From Homeyhuts and Which Should You Manage on the OTA?

Homeyhuts acts as a central platform for property, calendar and channel-management workflows, but not every OTA setting is necessarily controlled from Homeyhuts.

• Settings that are commonly managed in Homeyhuts may include:
• Property information within Homeyhuts.
• Homeyhuts listing settings.
• Rates and availability through the Channel Manager.
• Manual bookings.
• Calendar management.
• Flexi Pricing.
• Channel Manager configuration.
• Property/room mapping where supported.
• Settings that may need to be managed directly on the OTA can include:
• OTA-specific listing content or verification requirements.
• OTA promotions controlled exclusively by the OTA.
• Certain OTA payment settings.
• OTA-specific policies or programme enrolments.
• Identity, location or compliance verification requested by the OTA.
• Platform-specific features that are not exposed through the Channel Manager.

Important:

The exact settings available through Homeyhuts depend on the OTA integration and the specific feature being used. Do not assume that changing a setting in Homeyhuts will change every OTA-specific setting.

Example:

You may update your rates through Homeyhuts and have them sync to connected channels, while an OTA-specific promotional programme may still need to be reviewed or disabled directly on that OTA.

Tip: When investigating a difference between Homeyhuts and an OTA, first identify whether the setting is a Homeyhuts-controlled setting, a synced channel setting or an OTA-specific setting.
