To learn more, watch our special webinar here 

Or watch this short video on how to set up cross listings.

Cross-listings support allows setting a relationship between a property that could be booked separately into several listings. The idea is to connect the calendars to avoid overbookings.

Where to find the cross-listings feature?

In channel manager > click on the "..." > Click on "Link child listings"

Select the child listings

You can now select the listings.

Some may appear with a lock, meaning that their selection is not possible.
This may be because those are already in a parent-child relationship or because it's the parent itself.

IMPORTANT: For now, if you use the Booking Window settings, it is important that this setting is the same for ALL listings (parent/children). 

Once you have clicked on "Confirmed Selection", you will see that relationship established in the Channel manager.

How does it look in the multi-calendar?

In the multi-calendar, you can see that relationship and the affected days.
Reservations will show in dark green. The light green symbolised blocked days due to cross-listings.

How does it look in the monthly calendar?

The individual calendar will work with the same logic.
