How to List Your Property on Bookably

Listing your property on Bookably is simple and intuitive. Follow this step-by-step guide to complete your listing and start receiving bookings.

Step 1: Visit the “List Your Property” Page

1. On the Bookably website, click “List Your Property” in the main menu.
2. This page includes:
   • An overview of the available Bookably packages (which you will select later).
   • A FAQ section answering common hosting questions.
3. Click “List Your Property” to begin.

This is your starting point—clicking the button takes you into the step-by-step listing process.

Step 2: Log In or Register

To continue, you will need a Bookably account.

• If you already have an account, click “Log In.”
• If you are new, you can register using:
  • Email & Password (Bookably Account)
  • Facebook Login
  • Google Login

Once logged in, you will be directed to update your profile (if required) before proceeding.

Step 3: Update Your Profile (First Listing Only)

If this is your first property listing, you must complete your host profile before proceeding.

1. Fill in the required personal and contact details.
2. Click “Proceed to Stripe”

This step is only required once. Future listings will not need profile updates.

Step 4: Set Up Your Stripe Connect Account (First Listing Only)

Bookably uses Stripe Connect for automated payouts. You must complete this step before listing your first property.

1. Click “Proceed to Stripe” when prompted.
2. Follow the Stripe setup instructions to provide:
   • Banking details for payouts.
   • Identity verification (KYC) documents.
3. Once completed, return to Bookably to continue your listing.

Tip: Most hosts find setting up a Stripe Individual account fast and simple. If you operate as a business, Stripe also supports business accounts.

This is a one-time setup; you will not need to repeat it for future listings.
