How to connect to Multiple Vrbo Accounts? Follow
It is important to note that for each account:
- you will need to contact Vrbo and fill out the contact form: signed content API contract.
- listings can't be migrated between Vrbo accounts. If you have already exported the listing to VRBO from hostaway in one VRBO account, you can't export it again on a different VRBO account
You can find all the detailed steps on how to connect Hostaway to Vrbo (reminder: These steps need to be followed for each Vrbo account you wish to create): Connect to Vrbo API
To connect multiple Vrbo accounts to one Hostaway account, please do the following:
-
In your Hostaway dashboard, go to Channel Manager > Channels > Click on Configure Vrbo
-
Click on Manage Vrbo Accounts enter a name, and press the Add button
-
The account name can be edited by pressing the pencil button next to it.
-
Under the account name, you will see the advertiser ID. This is the ID that needs to be provided in Vrbo when connecting the account to Hostaway. The advertiser ID contains the Hostaway account ID and an extra number that goes up consecutively.
NOTE: The new account ID will only be recognized by Vrbo on the API contract once you have exported listings under the account to Vrbo.

Export your listings to Vrbo accounts
Important: Each listing can only be exported once to a Vrbo account, it's not possible to re-export the same listing to a different Vrbo account (even if already disconnected from Vrbo), it would be necessary to recreate the listing in Hostaway so it can be exported as a new listing to a different Vrbo account. -
When selecting a Vrbo account from the dropdown, we only show the listings that are:
-
Mapped to that Vrbo account, OR
-
Are not mapped to any Vrbo account at all

It seems that VRBO has started providing a self-onboarding system that requires the software's User ID. When using the existing Advertiser ID for our software I receive an error message.
Hello Chad, it's necessary to have first exported at least 1 listing from Hostaway to that Vrbo account you're trying to connect so that Vrbo can acknowledge the user ID from Hostaway before completing the connection.
