Connect your properties with HVN from Avantio

Publishing your accommodations on HVN is easier than you think. If you manage multiple properties and want them to sync automatically, this guide will help you connect your Avantio account with HVN in a few steps. This way, you save time, avoid manual errors, and ensure your prices and calendars are always up to date.


Before you start

Before activating the connection, it is mandatory to have a signed agreement with HVN. Without this prior step, it will not be possible to connect the portal in the Avantio Channel Manager.
Publishing on HVN is free, and once the process is completed, your properties usually appear published in less than 10 business days.

Quick checklist:

  • Have your special net rate ready.

  • Gather images in JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP format (minimum 1300x900 px, maximum 11 MB).

  • Ensure your property information is complete (descriptions, amenities, policies).

  • Have your Avantio access credentials.


Step by step: Connection and publication

  1. Complete the registration form at stayhvn.com/info/avantio.

  2. Enter your information and net rate, and electronically sign the contract with HVN.

  3. Follow the online onboarding assistant, designed for Avantio property managers.

  4. Activate the connection from the Avantio Channel Manager. Your properties will be automatically loaded via API.

  5. Within up to 10 business days, your accommodations will be visible on HVN.


What syncs automatically

  • Rates and availability

  • Confirmed bookings

  • Photos and descriptions

  • Minimum and maximum stay rules

  • Allowed check-in and check-out dates

  • Customized extra services

  • Cancellation policies

Helpful tip: HVN recommends sending as many details as possible (amenities, policies, quality photos) to give your properties better visibility and attract more bookings.


Prices and payments

  • Real-time prices: HVN displays rates with all concepts included (rental, taxes, commissions, and extras).

  • Payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover (ACH/bank coming soon).

  • Accepted currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, among others.

  • HVN acts as the "merchant of record": it charges the guest and transfers the payment to the property manager.


Cancellation policies

HVN respects the manager's cancellation policy but requires a 24-hour grace period after the booking confirmation. During this time, HVN can cancel without penalty. After the period, the conditions you have defined apply.


Best practices for a successful connection

  • Optimize your photos: use high-resolution and well-lit images to increase conversions.

  • Keep your calendar up to date: avoid double bookings by ensuring availability is correctly synced.

  • Define clear policies: specify minimum stays, check-in times, and surcharges precisely.
