There are two important things to check after the import.
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.
The rate plan of a Unit Type created through Bulk Listing Import is:
Nightly
Applied by default only to the Website Booking Engine and Manual bookings
You can later change the rate plan settings so that it also applies to your channels.
After the import, you must add the bedroom and bed information for the imported properties.
Go to Listings.
Select the relevant Property.
Open the Details Card.
If the Property contains multiple Unit Types, open the Details Card under the relevant Unit Type.
At the bottom of the page, click Add Rooms and Spaces.
Enter the bedroom and bed count.
Click Save.
Important: The number of bedrooms and beds must support the guest capacity of the Unit Type before you map the Property to channels.
Repeat this for each relevant Unit Type.
Once you have listed all your properties, proceed with [Setting Your Rates].
