Integration with Google Vacation Rentals is in active development.

You may have noticed that Google Vacation Rentals is listing OwnerRez as a connectivity partner:

https://support.google.com/hotelprices/answer/11946834?hl=en

This is legally true (we've signed agreements), and should prove that we're serious about this integration to any doubters ;-) ... but, no, it does not mean that the integration is actually working and available quite yet.  As previously noted, it is in active development - towards the end, in that we're doing integration testing with Google, but we need to work through that process before even a beta release.

On that note, we have dozens if not hundreds of clients who have asked to participate in the beta.  We will reach out to those who are selected, which will be based on various technical reasons so as to thoroughly wring out all aspects of the integration as much as possible.  But, because the demand for this feature is so great, rather than doing a large-scale beta, we'll move into wide release as quickly as seems prudent.  So, if you have asked to join the beta and aren't invited, please don't take it personally.  :-)

I'd like to be included in the beta as well, if possible.

We have received enough interest to fill our list at this time. As development finishes and we are ready to begin bringing users into the beta, we will reach out to those on the list!

I hope I am included. There was an earlier post that said we would be included if we had upvoted it, which I did. 

Can you clarify if the "upvoters" are included in the beta? 

I did not respond to the thread earlier because it seemed redundant. 

Thanks!

How is this not completed yet? Is it just a matter of deelopment resources?

I am also anxiously awaiting Owner Rez establishing Preferred Connectivity Partner status so I can get exposure on Google Vacation Rentals. Google Vacation Rentals presents one of the few opportunities left for our industry to roadblock an Airbnb monopoly.

Same here, I was one of the first to upvote this, so I hope I’ve been included, as I didn’t know you had to comment too! 👍

I upvoted as well. I am not sure if I made it before they shut down any more volunteers. I would be interested in Beta testing Hopper when that is ready as well.

Did we have to comment also?  I did not see that as part of the instructions.   I thought the instructions were strictly to upvote it as we did that immediately when it was posted.

That is what I'm hoping is going to happen. I upvoted, so I hope I will be added to the beta test list

Just a quick note about Hopper - we learned today that Hopper integration is delayed indefinitely. They are re-evaluating their direction on vacation rentals.
