Common questions

Where should I edit listings when using RedAwning and Tokeet Channel Manager?

Decide which system controls rates, open dates and listing text. Check the sync mode before editing both sides. One system may own prices while another owns photos. Write down where your team should make each change.

What should I check after connecting one of these tools?

Match each home to the right listing. Check future bookings and manual blocks, then look at dates and prices on each booking site. Go far enough to inspect the offer, but do not complete a test booking unless you intend to buy it.

Does RedAwning’s distribution service replace my property software?

Its page for property managers says your property software stays in control. RedAwning handles the channel links. Check that it works with your current system. Agree where to edit rates and dates. Linking booking sites does not mean it takes over every property task.

How can I check what Tokeet sent to a booking channel?

Its activity logs show price changes and update times. They also show the prices and open dates sent to channels. Use them to trace a change. Then check the offer guests see on the booking site. A sent update does not prove the final price shown.
