Overview
Vendor mappings connect each OTA platform to a corresponding vendor in QuickBooks Online. When Host Ledger posts a payout as a deposit, QuickBooks requires a “Received From” vendor — this is where it looks it up. Navigate to Settings → Vendor Mappings to configure these.Platforms
| OTA Platform | What to map it to |
|---|---|
| Airbnb | A vendor named “Airbnb” in your QBO |
| VRBO | A vendor named “VRBO” in your QBO |
| Booking.com | A vendor named “Booking.com” in your QBO |
| Direct | A vendor for direct bookings, if applicable |
Missing Vendor Warnings
If a payout comes in from an OTA with no vendor mapped, Host Ledger will flag it for review and prevent it from auto-posting. Map the vendor in Settings and reprocess the payout.Next: Property & Class Mapping
Map each property to the right QuickBooks company and class — required to route transactions correctly before posting.
