Connect Rentals United to Villa Tracker

Add Villa Tracker as a sales channel, assign the homes you want to distribute, and everything stays in sync

If you manage your portfolio through Rentals United, you can connect to Villa Tracker directly from your channel manager. Add the channel, assign your properties, and your content, rates and availability flow to us automatically.

Rentals United stays your system of record. Villa Tracker is a curated channel rather than an open marketplace, so the connection is reviewed rather than granted automatically.

Why connect

Why Connect Rentals United to Villa Tracker

  • Trade-only distribution

    Villa Tracker is closed to the public. Your Rentals United portfolio is seen by 1,000+ verified travel companies across 80 countries — travel agents and designers, concierge companies, event planners — not by browsers comparing on price.

  • Higher-value bookings

    Travel professionals arrive with a brief and a budget. That tends to mean longer stays, larger parties and higher-value reservations than a public marketplace sends.

  • You keep control

    Villa Tracker is request-to-book by default: every reservation reaches you for confirmation. Instant booking is there if you want it, and only if you switch it on.

  • Rentals United stays your source of truth

    You keep managing content, rates and availability in Rentals United. There is no second extranet to maintain, and we never edit or remove your listings.

Setup

How to Connect Rentals United

  1. 1

    Find Villa Tracker in your channels

    Sign in to Rentals United, go to the section where you manage your sales channels and locate Villa Tracker among the available channels.

  2. 2

    Request the connection

    Enable the channel to send us a connection request, then assign the homes you would like to distribute.

  3. 3

    Complete the form

    Fill in the form on this page so we can match your Rentals United request to your company and confirm commercial terms.

  4. 4

    Review, sync and go live

    Once your properties are approved, content, rates and availability sync automatically, and you manage everything from Rentals United.

Before You Begin

  • An active Rentals United account with the properties you would like to distribute already loaded and complete.
  • Photography, descriptions, amenities, capacity and location filled in on each property — this is what our team reviews.
  • An accurate address and postcode on every property. Missing location data is the single most common reason a home is held back.
  • Rates loaded as your net rates. Our margin and the agent's commission sit on top, so the figure you set is the figure you are paid.

Cannot find Villa Tracker in your channel list? Depending on your account, the channel may be listed under Smiling House, our parent group. If neither is visible, email info@villatracker.com with your Rentals United account name and we will arrange access.

You do not have to send your whole portfolio — most partners start with the properties that best match the collection.

What Happens Next

  • Approved homes are published to Villa Tracker and become visible to travel professionals.
  • Rates, availability and calendars keep flowing from Rentals United — no second calendar to maintain.
  • Booking requests reach you for confirmation.
  • Rentals United remains your source of truth. We never edit or remove your listings.

To stop distributing a property, unassign it from the channel in Rentals United. Confirmed reservations are unaffected — please honour those with the guest.

Questions

Rentals United and Villa Tracker: Common Questions

Villa Tracker is a sales channel inside Rentals United. You activate it from your channel list, assign the properties you would like to distribute, and the integration handles the rest — listing content, photos, rates and availability flow from Rentals United automatically.

Every assigned home is reviewed against our criteria, typically within a few business days. Homes are most often held back for incomplete content or a missing address and postcode. We confirm the outcome for each property.

There is no fee to apply and no development cost to connect. Villa Tracker works on commission, and our team walks you through the commercial terms before anything goes live.

That is expected. You load net rates in Rentals United; the price a travel professional sees includes our margin and their commission. Your payout is the net rate you set.
