How do you sync the Bookingor plugin with OTA platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb?
Steps for Channel Connectivity
Connecting your hotel booking system to external platforms requires a reliable calendar synchronization process. I found that Bookingor accomplishes this by using the iCal protocol. You obtain a unique URL from your listing on Booking.com or Airbnb and input it directly into the plugin. This link creates a bridge that updates your availability status whenever a reservation occurs on any platform.
When you configure this system, the plugin continuously polls the external calendar for changes. This process ensures that if a guest books a room on Airbnb, your WordPress site updates to mark those dates as unavailable. You benefit from this automation because it removes manual data entry and reduces the risk of human error in your scheduling.
