Hopper Homes Setup & Connecting

Hopper Homes Logo

OwnerRez has partnered with Hopper to provide an integrated API connection between the two systems. This allows OwnerRez users to handle their listings and bookings from Hopper efficiently. Hopper Homes is a growing travel app that accepts vacation rental properties worldwide. Our Channel Management feature is extremely powerful and can significantly simplify your channel advertising. Learn how it works by reading our Channel Management Overview article.

Listing Prerequisites

  • Only entire homes are accepted; hotel or hostel-style units are excluded.
  • Listings must include a kitchen/kitchenette and a private bathroom.
  • Both multi-unit and single-unit properties can be linked to Hopper.

What is synchronized?
