The unit of a Property created through Bulk Listing Import is inactive by default.
You must manually activate the Unit before using it for bookings.
2. Review the imported rate plan
The unit type created through Bulk Listing Import has a Nightly rate plan.
By default, the rate plan applies only to Website Booking Engine and Manual bookings
You can later change the rate plan settings so that it also applies to your channels.
3. Add Bedrooms and Beds
For each imported Property:
Go to Listings.
Select the relevant Property.
Open the Details Card. (If the property has multiple Unit Types, open the Details Card for the relevant Unit Type.)
At the bottom of the page, click Add Rooms and Spaces.
Enter the bedroom and bed count.
