A failed sync doesn't announce itself as a loss. It shows up as a night you couldn't sell, a rate the guest never saw, or a booking you had to unwind. This guide names the three costs, explains which one lands first, and sets out a short weekly check that keeps the damage small.
Disconnecting a channel stops the feed, but it doesn't tidy your own calendar. Stale rates, unreleased blocks and a live listing stay behind. This checklist walks through the four leftovers to clear before you switch a channel off, and the two-week check that catches what you missed.
A one-way channel link blocks dates and stops there. A two-way link carries the booking and the rate back to your calendar, so a change of plan shows up without a phone call. This comparison explains what each setup protects against, and how to pick per channel instead of once.
The guest has a confirmation and your calendar is empty. That gap isn't a mystery: a booking can stop at five points on its way in, and the fastest fix is to rule those points out in a fixed order, starting from the guest's confirmation.
A retried import doesn't announce itself. When it finishes, the same booking can sit in your account twice, and both copies look real. The order you unwind them in decides whether the guest ever sees a problem.
A rate plan isn't one setting, it's a small bundle of fields that have to agree. Editing them out of order is how a rate ends up correct in one field and stale in the next. The order matters as much as the numbers.
Opening a new market everywhere at once feels thorough and teaches you nothing, because you can't tell which channel produced a booking. A sequence fixes that. Open one channel, read the result, then add the next once the first holds.
Two properties don't create the problem on their own. The pressure comes from how often the same night gets edited in two places. Measure that overlap for two months, and you'll know whether a channel manager earns its cost.
The paperwork a first host gathers decides how the next few years feel. Get it right and it's one folder you rarely open; get it wrong and it's a monthly problem. This sets out what to collect in plain terms, and where to confirm the parts that differ by place.
Announcing a new listing has a free sequence, and the order is the whole trick. Get the listing ready, tell the people who already know your street, answer questions in public, and read the results before you consider paying for reach. Most hosts start at the last step.
