An app that will display Airbnb calendar?

[mlysmns]

Hi there,

Is there an app that will display the calendar to my Airbnb calendar? I'm setting up a site for my rental house and I'd like to display a calendar with the dates that are available and booked. Is there an easy way to do that?

Thanks in advance!

No.

You will have to build a custom solution, or try and find an automation using the Ical calendar file format.

Such ans in a google calendar you display on your site or through a booking app such as bookthatapp

Automation apps like usemechanics,airpower, or external services like zapier or integromat would also be things to research in building a process.

You should also look outside of shopify for a general service that lets you embed such a calendar into any website as then all you need to do is a theme customization , or a theme setting with a custom-html or custom-liquid section type.

Hey, @mlysmns

I'm not aware of any standalone app that is intended to show the Airbnb calendar. However, there may be a potential workaround.

From my understanding, you can use a calendar such as iCal Google Calendar that supports the ability to integrate the AirBNB calendar into one of them. This guide here shows you how to do that with iCal.

From there, you can use a booking app on the Shopify app store that supports the integration of iCal or Google Calendar. That way you can use the app to display your iCal, which is synchronized with your Airbnb calendar, in order to display that on your storefront. There is an app called Book That App that supports the integration of numerous calendars, including iCal and Google Calendar. 

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Hi @mlysmns 

Thanks for posting.   BookThatApp supports adding a calendar to your Shopify site to book accommodation rentals.  It also offers integration of any calendar that supports the iCal standard, including AirBnB.  This allows you to import any AirBnb bookings to your BookThatApp calendar and export any BookThatApp bookings to your AirBnB calendar.

Feel free to reach out to us at support@zetya.com if we can help get you started.

@Dirk @PaulNewton - Thanks for the shout out, we appreciate it!

Cheers,

Chris

This idea is helpful for guests to see which dates are available and which are booked. Luckily, several apps can do this for you. Check out "Syncbnb" or "Your Porter App" - both can integrate with your Airbnb calendar and display availability on your site. I've been investing in the Dallas real estate market for a long time, and I use these apps constantly. I read an article on https://dallasmetro.news/dallas-airbnb-short-term-and-long-term-rentals-is-it-worth-it-to-invest-in-..., and I think there is a lot of potential for short and long term rentals in Dallas. Good luck with your home rentals, and happy hosting!
