Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Marketplace cost?
Access to the tool and support from the Tourist Office are free for our partners. Only the online payment system fees (transparent and set by your bank) are your responsibility.
How long does it take to be operational?
This depends on your availability and familiarity with digital tools. On average, allow 2 to 4 weeks between the initial meeting and the actual launch of your offer online, including training.
Can I keep my Booking, Airbnb, and Abritel calendars?
Yes. Open PRO offers iCal synchronization with major OTAs (Online Travel Agencies) such as Booking, Airbnb, Abritel/Vrbo, Gîtes de France , etc.
In practical terms, your availability is automatically updated between Open PRO and your external platforms: a booking received on Booking automatically blocks your schedule on Airbnb, on the tourist office website, etc. This prevents double bookings and allows you to manage everything from a single dashboard.
What is the difference between iCal synchronization and a Channel Manager?
Both solutions avoid double bookings, but they work differently.
iCal synchronization (included in Open PRO) only exchanges availability information between platforms. Simple, free, and sufficient for most hosting providers.
A Channel Manager goes further: it also synchronizes rates, restrictions, and descriptions . This is useful for businesses with a high volume of bookings. Open PRO also offers Channel Manager gateways if needed.
Can I integrate the booking system into my own website?
Yes. Open PRO and Addock offer a booking widget that can be integrated directly into your website. Your visitors can book and pay without leaving your site.
Am I required to use the Marketplace if I am a partner?
No, it's an optional service offered to partners. You can become a partner without using the Marketplace, or start with it and then withdraw if it doesn't suit you.
What is the difference between Open PRO and Addock?
Open PRO is designed for accommodation providers (guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, small hotels, campsites). Addock is designed for activity providers.
