Partner Network - Publishing & Unpublishing Listings
This article outlines the steps for publishing and unpublishing listings on the Boost Partner Network. Listings must be published to the Partner Network and then added to each Partner Network connected channel/OTA.
Overview
There are 3 main steps to complete when publishing your listings:
Prepare your listing to be published
Does your listing pass validation confirming that it meets the Partner Network minimum content standards?
Do you need to make edits to your property headlines, add a price-adjustment, or any other configuration changes in Boost?
Publish your listing to the Partner Network
Publish your listing to the desired Partner Network Channel (ex: Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Hopper, ETC)
Preparing a Listing to be Published
Its important to make sure your listing(s) is meeting the Partner Network requirements. Also, if you need to add some listing configurations in Boost, we suggest you do this before publishing. Please review ALL of your other property settings in Boost BEFORE publishing it.
Minimum Content Requirements:
All Partner Network channels require listings to meet the minimum content requirements. Learn More here: Partner Network - Minimum Content Requirements
Boost has a built in validation tool to make sure your listings are meeting the above requirements before you publish them. Learn more here: Listing Validations (Boost New UI)
Common Configurations added in Boost
If you need to make any edits/configurations to your listings in Boost, make sure to do that before publishing. Here are some common examples:
Cancelation Policy - Can be set for all listings in Partner Network Channel Settings and on the listing level.
Price Adjustments - If you have set a mark-up in Boost on rent and/or fees
Headlines/Names: If your property name doesn’t meet the character requirements, you may want to edit it in Boost. Important Note: Partner Network Headlines/Names must be no less than 20 characters and no more than 70 characters. If they exceed 70 characters Boost will automatically truncate them which may result in a less than optimal appearance on the live listing.
Publish to the Partner Network
Things to Remember:
If you have recently added new properties in your PMS, they will flow into Boost, but they will NOT be automatically published to the Partner Network and its connected channels (Marriott, Hopper, Etc).
You will only be able to successfully distribute listings that have an active PMS status. You will not be able to distribute inactive properties.
