FAQ — Channel manager

What is a channel manager?

A channel manager is software that connects your calendar to multiple booking portals (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.) simultaneously, updating availability and prices in real time to prevent double bookings.

Is GoHostDirect's channel manager really free?

Yes. The Starter plan includes the channel manager for 1 property at no cost. The Pro and Business plans add unlimited properties and advanced features starting at 19 EUR/month.

How often do calendars sync?

Calendars connected via iCal update automatically every 15 minutes. You can also start a manual sync whenever you need.

Can I manage multiple apartments with one account?

Yes. With the Pro plan you can manage up to 3 properties, with Business there is no limit. Each property has its own calendar.

Does the channel manager work with my own website?

Yes. The GoHostDirect booking widget syncs with your calendar, preventing double bookings between your website and OTA portals.
