Channels Connect
Hollywood, Florida, United States
What it is
Channels Connect is a web and API vacation-rental channel manager based in Hollywood, Florida. It lets property managers distribute listings from one dashboard to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google, and more than 90 other channels. Two-way calendar synchronization blocks booked dates across connected services and sends changes back into the manager’s workflow. Central tools handle photos, descriptions, and property details for reuse across listings. Dynamic pricing rules can address season, demand, booking window, and last-minute discounts. iCal import and export supports channels using that standard. The service names Hostfully, Guesty, OwnerRez, and Hospitable as PMS integrations, and a PMS can connect through the API. A performance view identifies channels driving bookings. Channels Connect is a channel manager, not a full PMS, so guest messaging, cleaning schedules, and accounting remain with a connected PMS. The free plan has no subscription or listing fee, but paid bookings incur a variable commission, with 3% given as an example.
