How HomeRunner Determines Lodgify Property Booking Method

HomeRunner automatically determines a Lodgify property’s booking method using the bookability value from the Property Rate Settings API.

This field indicates how the property handles bookings, which we map as follows:

$reservation_method = match ($rateSettings->bookability) {
    0 => 'instant',   // Instant booking
    1 => 'request',   // Booking request required
    2 => 'inquiry',   // Inquiry only
};

In short, the bookability parameter defines whether guests can book instantly, must submit a request, or can only send an inquiry — and HomeRunner automatically applies the correct method based on this value.
