As of December 7, 2020, Airbnb hosts who use third-party property management software are required to use Simplified Pricing (unless your listings are in the US, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Taiwan, Uruguay or the Bahamas). This means there will be no service fee visible to the guest, and the host will pay 15%. So, how can you adjust your pricing to accommodate this new policy?
