Check your setup before going live

A quick checklist of what to confirm on a property before it starts taking bookings.

Written by Kiriaki

Before your property goes live on a booking channel, it's worth a quick check. Go through this list in order to confirm everything is in place. If something is missing, the guide under that item shows you how to set it up.

Check these before you go live

1. Property details

In Properties, open the property and make sure its name, address, maximum number of guests, property rules and check-in and checkout times are filled in.

2. Photos

On the property's page, make sure at least one photo is uploaded.

3. Base rate

On Home, make sure the property's base nightly rate is set on its card. It should be your actual price, because this is the rate the channel receives.

4. Availability

On Home, make sure the property's availability is confirmed on its card, and that any dates when it can't take bookings are blocked.

Important: Confirm availability before you connect a channel, so you don't risk a double booking once the property is connected.

5. Channel connection

In Channel Manager, make sure a booking channel is connected and mapped to the property. Mapping tells Hosperly which channel listing belongs to which property.

6. Live status

On Home, make sure the property is labeled Live. This means the channel has activated and your rates and availability are reaching it. Your property is ready to take bookings. 🎉
