Uplisting review

Uplisting is the quickest way on this list to get a basic booking site without designing anything. You connect your Airbnb account, your listings import, and the site builds itself with a homepage, a booking page and one page per property, on an Uplisting domain or your own. Payments run through Stripe, and you can take full payment or a deposit with the balance before check-in. Checkout supports discount codes, terms guests must accept and an email opt-in for future offers. Every plan includes the basic direct booking site; a richer Plus site is an add-on on the lower plans. The pricing model suits seasonal hosts: Pay As You Go charges no monthly fee, only a commission per booking, for portfolios of up to 10 properties. The pricing page displayed GBP to us, so the USD figure is pending. Multi-lingual sites are listed as coming soon, which matters if you host many overseas guests.
