Connect your Expedia listings to Hostify

Preconditions for connecting :

  • The listing must exist both on Expedia and on Hostify

  • The guests number in the Hostify leading listing must be equal with the guests number in Expedia

Import upcoming reservations that were created prior to the integration

Expedia reservations with a check-in/check-out date in the future will be imported automatically to Hostify upon connecting a listing.

Connecting your Expedia listings to Hostify

First Expedia part :

  1. Contact our support team to create a Expedia machine account for you.

  2. Wait for their reply and confirmation that a machine account has been created for you.

  3. Go to Expedia

  4. Click on the listing that you would like to connect to Hostify

  5. Go to Account -> Rooms and Rates -> Connectivity settings

  6. Disconnect the current PMS provider (if one exists)

  7. START a new connection request

  8. Search for Hostify

  9. Check Reservations, Rates & Availability ONLY.

  10. Proceed forwards

  11. You will receive an email notification from Expedia that your listing is now connected with Hostify. 

  12. Add the Hostify integration email (our support team will provide you with it) in Expedia.
    * navigate to the admin panel in Expedia
    * Guest relations -> Messages -> Settings
    * add the email as autorized.

Second Hostify part :

  1. Go to Account -> Channels -> Expedia Integration -> Hotels

  2. Add the confirmed (Expedia part)  Hotel ID

  3. Click on Active button 

  4. Select the currency that you are using on Expedia

  5. Click the Add button.

  6. Click on "Room types"

7. On the list you will see your Expedia property. Click on the "Edit" button.

8. On the new window you have to select the corresponding Airbnb listing and select "Sync pricing".

9. Once you've clicked "Save" the system will begin with the connection. Once the process is over, the name of the Airbnb listing will appear under "Assigned listings" and a next button will appear on the left side of the screen under "LOS".

10. Now you have to fill in the information on step 2 "Pricing" -> click "Save" -> Next.

11. Repeat the same process from point 10. on the "LOS" step.

12. Your property is almost ready. Now on the new list that will appear on your left side of the screen, you will see a "Rates" button. Click on it.

13. There you will see all of your rates from Expedia. Hostify is connecting only to the Standard rate. Sometimes the system is setting another rate as a "Default" one, so in case the Standard rate is not marked as "Default" you will have to mark it as such from the so called button. Also you will have to add the pricing details for that rate again, by clicking on the "Edit" button.

Once you've reached step 13, please notify us, so I can check if everything is okay and I will confirm that you can proceed forward.

14. Inbox communication from Expedia 

Add the Hostify integration email (our support team will provide you with it) as a Authorized email in Guest relations -> Messages tab -> Settings
