Hello everyone,
We’re about to start managing properties on behalf of other owners.
Our main concern is related to taxes we’d like VRBO to continue collecting and remitting taxes directly on behalf of each owner.
We’re not comfortable collecting or remitting taxes, and we don’t want to require each owner to set up a CPA or Avalara account.
At the same time, we’d like to
Sync dynamic pricing with VRBO,
Send automated messages to guests, and
Integrate our digital locks so that codes are sent automatically in those messages.
Is it possible to have a partial API connection one that allows OwnerRez to handle messaging and pricing automation, but keeps VRBO in charge of tax collection and remittance?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Vrbo does not offer a 'limited' API integration. However, we are all anxiously hoping and waiting to see if the rumor is true that Vrbo may soon offer the option to leave the merchant of record duties of payment and tax collection with them. This would eliminate one of the final hurdles that keep some from embracing API channel integration.
