Activating Guesty PriceOptimizer on a listing

After your 14-day free trial, activate PriceOptimizer for your listings. PriceOptimizer automatically updates your nightly rates in the listing's calendar daily.

Before you start, make sure your listing is eligible by reviewing the geo-location and other requirements.

If you manually adjust pricing or minimum nights in the multi-calendar, it will sync with PriceOptimizer.

Important:

If you are already using another smart pricing tool, it should be deactivated before using PriceOptimizer to avoid pricing conflicts in your calendar.
