iCal synchronisation is a system that automatically updates your calendar availability across multiple booking platforms. Instead of manually managing each calendar separately, iCal sync connects your calendars so they stay in perfect harmony.

How iCal Synchronisation Works

iCal (also called iCalendar) is a standard format for sharing calendar data. When you enable iCal synchronisation, your availability information flows between platforms automatically. If you block a date on one platform, that date becomes unavailable on all connected platforms simultaneously.

Why Use iCal Synchronisation?

Managing multiple booking platforms without iCal sync creates real problems:

• Double bookings: Guests can book the same dates on different platforms, creating conflicts
• Manual updates: You must update every platform individually, which is time-consuming and error-prone
• Outdated information: Guests see inaccurate availability, damaging your reputation

iCal synchronisation eliminates these issues by keeping all your calendars updated in real-time.

Key Benefits for Hosts

• Prevents overbookings: Your availability updates across all platforms instantly
• Saves time: No more manual calendar management
• Increases bookings: Accurate availability information builds guest trust
• Reduces stress: One booking action updates everywhere automatically
