 * Hi, I’m looking for a way to just show a calendar of current availability by 
   syncing from airbnb ical. I don’t want site visitors to have the option to actually
   book, just see availability.
 * Is this possible with your plugin?
 * (There is another plugin that does this. but it doesn’t seem to have been updated
   or supported recently and has various bug reports. Others exist too, but I like
   this one, and your support!)
 * Thanks.

 * Hello.
    1) In the Booking Calendar plugin, you can insert into the post or page,
   only the availability calendar instead of booking form with calendar. Please 
   read more how easily insert booking form or availability calendar into a pages
   [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/inserting-booking-form/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/inserting-booking-form/)
   or how manually configure Booking Calendar shortcodes in content of your pages:
   [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-calendar-shortcodes/](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/help/booking-calendar-shortcodes/)
 * 2) Relative syncing data from airbnb. Booking Calendar plugin is supporting
    
   Please read more about this feature here: [https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync](https://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/#sync)
 * Please note, the import process is working in that case, when some visitor is
   open your website page with booking import shortcode. So you can configure CRON
   at your server, for periodically access this page with booking import shortcode
   to start import process. Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking
   form shortcode, so firstly system will start import process and only then show
   booking form, when someone visit your page.
 * Export. Booking Calendar is generate .ics feed with bookings in real time. But
   how often some service (like airbnb, or booking.com ) access this .ics feed to
   import the bookings from Booking Calendar into own system, does not depend from
   Booking Calendar. So in other words, Booking Calendar does not force to generate
   import process by third party service, when some booking is created. You need
   to check with support of this service (like airbnb or booking.com), about how
   often they can access the .ics feed tor making import.
    Kind Regards.

 * Ok thanks for this, very helpful. Just one thing. You say:
 * > Or you can insert the import shortcode before booking form shortcode, so firstly
   > system will start import process and only then show booking form, when someone
   > visit your page.
 * Does this mean I don’t need to use CRON and the calendar always import the latest
   state of calendar before displaying ? Just maybe a small delay for visitor?
 * Thanks. Looks like the plugin for me. And I’ll experiment with the calendar and
   shortcodes.
