Right now we have a few issues which are being worked on:
Sometimes the channel will disconnect automatically (You will get email about this if it happens) Usually it is because the user has changed their user password.
We support the following:
ARI updates (Availability, Rates and Restrictions)
Get Bookings (New, Modified and Cancelled)
Currency Supported: USD, CAD, EUR, AUD, NZD, JPY, SGD, BRL, MXN and GBP

If the account was previously connected to a PMS for XML API then you will see something like this. The owner or property manager will need to ask VRBO support to convert the account back into a normal account (without channel manager)
Once this is completed it can be ready to connect. Connecting while still connected to previous software can make issues.
Leaving ical connected from Airbnb or another PMS will overwrite anything that Channex sends. You should remove ical connections first.
"Please can you disconnect my account from my current channel manager, I will control the extranet manually"
They should disconnect the current channel manager and convert the account to a normal one with payments by VRBO.
You will need the following details from the property:
Username
Password
Sign in code (Sent to owners phone when you try to connect)
The owner of the account will need to be ready to provide a code for you to sign in
The Process:
Enter the username and password into the provided fields of VRBO channel
Press Authenticate button (not test connection)
Enter code into provided field. This is a code sent to the owner
if not working at this point, save channel and refresh browser
if its working the mapping page should show listings, if not then please get in touch
Mapping page will show all listings to connect. Please map a room and rate to the listings you wish to connect.
Once everything is mapped activate the channel
