How owners and rental agencies can share one availability calendar
Ask any agency how it checks whether a chalet is free and the answer is usually a phone call or a message to the owner. Ask the owner and they will say they get too many of them. A shared calendar removes the back and forth.
What owners worry about
- ✓Strangers seeing guest names, phone numbers and prices.
- ✓Losing control over who can reserve their dates.
- ✓Agencies working from out-of-date information.
What agencies need
- ✓A live view of every owner's calendar in one place.
- ✓The ability to hold a date while the client decides.
- ✓A way to know when a date they wanted becomes free.
Privacy by design
The key is that availability can be shared without sharing details. In StaySync, an agency only sees that a date is taken. The guest, the contact details and the price stay with whoever made the booking.
Let the owner stay in charge
The owner chooses which agencies connect to each calendar, sets the prices and the check-in and check-out times, and can offer extra slots such as a free morning. Agencies work inside those rules.
What changes in practice
Fewer calls, faster answers to clients, and no more dates sold twice. Owners spend less time on the phone, and agencies can close a booking while the client is still interested.
Keep every date in sync
One shared calendar for owners and agencies, with holds, Plan B backups and reminders.
