We have a prorerty with a connection of AriBnb. We want to set up occupancy pricing (i.e. different price depending on the number of people). In the past, this was done on the AirBnb side, where we would set the price per extra gues. Now this is not editable. When asking AirBnb, we got the answer that we should set this on the Channel Manager. How should we do this?

Hello,

As we do for the main OTAs (like Booking.com and Expedia), for Airbnb as well, we can manage both room selling in OBP - Occupancy Based Pricing rates that change according to the occupancy level and in PDP - Per Day Pricing daily rates, per night

We only have to be careful with some of the features that can make this process a bit tricky!

1- OBP - Occupancy Based Pricing
The mapping section must be completed by linking Octorate minimum occupancy level with Airbnb maximum occupancy level.
from Channel Manager > Airbnb blue plug

We will also follow this set up, from the listing itself, in order to be able to manage the costs for any extra person.

It will be fundamental to add the maximum capacity level
(max number of people that can fit in the apt.)
Click HERE in case you do not remember how to access the listing section from Octorate.

A minimum capacity level
from which price will increase
a price per extra person the amount price will increase up to
the maximum capacity level 

2- PDP - Per Day Pricing
The mapping section must be completed by linking Octorate and HomeAway maximum capacity level.
from Channel Manager > Airbnb blue plug

We will also create the listing from the maximum occupancy level, by filling in all the info described in the first section of this article.

Talk to you soon!
