• • Go to the Hostaway Dashboard.
    
  • Click on 'Marketplace' within the dashboard, then search for the relevant partner and click on the 'Connect/Configure' button available there:
    
    
    
  • This will expand the partner box and you can click on 'Connect' again to start generating the Keys:
    
    
    
  • Then you can click 'Create' to generate the API Key:
    
    
    
  • The new credentials will then be presented on the screen. Please make sure to copy and save the API Key safely as it will be visible only once:

7. Select group assignments for the integration. If you only have one Hostaway integration that will be shared by all property groups, then select the "Shared Across All Groups" option. If you have multiple Hostaway accounts that need to be separated by group, then select the specific groups that the integration should be used for.
8. Click "Add" to save and create the integration.

Step 3. Authorize the integration.

2. Click authorize.

3. Click Confirm and complete the necessary steps on the Hostaway site.

Once completed, you have successfully linked your PMS!
