FAQs
Click the questions below to learn more.
What does the iCal integration mean for my reservations?
The Abritel iCal integration only syncs your Wix calendar’s availability. Reservations made on Abritel are not automatically added to your Wix calendar, so you need to add them manually.
Can I sync rates or restrictions with Abritel?
No. Rates and restrictions are not synced through the iCal connection. Manage all pricing, restrictions, and reservation details directly in your Abritel account to keep them consistent with your Wix settings. The iCal integration only updates room availability.
Is the connection two-way?
No. Wix sends availability to Abritel, but Abritel does not send data back to Wix.
