Important information about listing on Airbnb and managing your Airbnb listing with Futurestay.

  • Airbnb processes its own guest reservation payments and will pay you directly for them. You'll need to link your bank account for payouts from Airbnb. Learn how to set up a payout account on Airbnb here.

  • When you make updates to your property's information in Futurestay, Futurestay will automatically pass those updates to Airbnb. You can also make changes to your listing directly in Airbnb, but not all changes made in Airbnb will be passed back to Futurestay:

  • For example, if you update your listing description in Airbnb, that update will not be passed back to Futurestay. (And if you subsequently update the description in Futurestay, it will overwrite the Airbnb listing description.)

  • If you block a date on your Airbnb calendar, that change to your availability will sync back to Futurestay.

  • You can manage your overall connection with Futurestay from your Airbnb account. You can also manage individual listing connections and status from your Airbnb account.

  • Airbnb has a service fee collected on all Airbnb bookings, split between the guest and the host. When you use another tool, like Futurestay, to manage your Airbnb listings, that service fee is automatically updated, but you are able to adjust it. You can control how that fee is collected in your Airbnb account under Payments & Payouts.
