Support Vrbo connection on mobile devices and tablets

Problem statement

• Vrbo connection currently requires the Chrome extension, which only works on desktop/laptop computers
• Hosts who primarily use iPads or other mobile devices cannot connect or manage their Vrbo integration without switching to a computer
• This creates friction for hosts who have moved their entire property management workflow to mobile devices

Current workaround

• Using a laptop or desktop computer with Chrome browser and the Hospitable Chrome extension
• This requires maintaining apps and workflows across multiple devices
• Hosts must keep a computer available even when they prefer to work exclusively from tablets

Impact

• Reduced efficiency and convenience - hosts must switch between devices for Vrbo management
• Extra effort to replicate property management apps and workflows on multiple devices
• Laptops may be heavier, lack touch screens, and less convenient for on-the-go property management
• Preferred devices (iPads, tablets) cannot be used for complete property management

Proposed solution

Enable Vrbo connection and management directly from the Hospitable mobile app or via mobile browsers on iPad and other tablets, eliminating the desktop/laptop requirement

Unlock

Hosts would be able to manage their entire property portfolio, including Vrbo connections, from their iPad or mobile device without needing a computer, streamlining workflows and improving convenience
