How to Enable Airbnb Channel in LOS Mode

  1. Create a Channel (Optional)

    Create a new Airbnb Channel unless you already have one active. Make sure the channel is activated.

  2. Enable LOS Mode

    • Choose your channel.

    • Click the Actions button.

    • Select Enable LOS Mode.

  • Configure Mapping

    After enabling LOS Mode, open the Channel and go to the Mapping tab. You will see a new UI for LOS Mode:

    • Use the switch to change the mapping behavior from Standard Mode to LOS Mode.

    • Select the listings you want to use with LOS Mode and switch them over.

    • When complete, you will see a list of Rate Plans associated with the mapped Room Type.

    • Select which Rate Plans should be part of the LOS Mode sync.

    • Enable the switch for each required Rate Plan.

That’s it — your channel is now switched to LOS Mode and listings will be synced accordingly.


How LOS Mode Works

LOS Mode pulls inventory data for each date and rate and generates a pricing matrix based on:

  • Check-in date

  • Length of stay

  • Number of guests

Example:

If your inventory has the following values:

  • 1 night: $200 per night

  • 2 nights: $180 per night

  • 5 nights: $160 per night

The system will aggregate these into a price matrix. Example output:

"2025-07-10,1,1,200,2,360,5,800,7,980,30,3000,500,0" "2025-07-10,2,1,200,2,360,5,800,7,980,30,3000,500,0" "2025-07-10,3,1,200,2,360,5,800,7,980,30,3000,500,0" "2025-07-11,1,1,200,2,360,5,800,7,980,30,3000,500,0" ...


Limitations

  • Due to the large amount of data being processed, LOS Mode does not support immediate sync.

  • Instead, sync is triggered every 6 hours.

  • Availability changes, however, are synced immediately.
