Add Booking Channels

PostedMarch 31, 2026
UpdatedMarch 31, 2026

Overview

Book It Fast lets you sync bookings from popular platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO using iCal feeds. When you add a booking channel, your availability is automatically kept in sync — bookings made on one platform will block dates on the others, helping you avoid double bookings.

Before You Start

  • You need at least one property set up in Book It Fast
  • You need the iCal feed URL from your listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, or VRBO
  • You need the Channel Property ID (your listing ID on the external platform)

How to Find Your iCal Feed URL

Airbnb

  1. Log into your Airbnb host account
  2. Go to your listing’s Calendar
  3. Click Pricing and availability > Availability
  4. Scroll to Connect calendars and copy the Export Calendar link

Booking.com

  1. Log into your Booking.com Extranet
  2. Go to Rates & Availability > Sync calendars
  3. Copy the iCal export URL provided

VRBO

  1. Log into your VRBO owner dashboard
  2. Go to Calendar > Import/Export
  3. Copy the Export calendar URL

Steps to Add a Booking Channel

  1. In your Book It Fast admin panel, go to Property Settings > Distributions in the sidebar
  2. Click the New distribution button at the top of the page
  3. Select the Channel from the dropdown (Air BNB, Booking.com, or VRBO)
  4. Enter the Channel property ID — this is your listing ID on the external platform
  5. Select the Property you want to link this channel to
  6. Paste the iCal feed URL you copied from the booking platform
  7. Make sure the Active toggle is turned on
  8. Click Create to save the distribution

Managing Your Channels

Once added, your channels appear in the Distributions list. From here you can:

  • Sync Bookings — Click the Sync Bookings button at the top to manually trigger a sync across all channels
  • View Bookings — See all bookings that have come through from a specific channel
  • Check Cancellations — Review any cancellations from the channel
  • Import Booking Data — Import historical booking data (useful for Booking.com CSV imports)

Tips

  • Book It Fast automatically syncs your channels on a regular schedule, but you can always trigger a manual sync
  • You can connect multiple channels to the same property — this is how you manage listings across multiple platforms
  • If you need to temporarily disconnect a channel, toggle the Active switch off rather than deleting it
  • You can filter the Distributions list by property using the filter options
