Host Tools makes it easy to build your brand and boost your profits with a direct booking site.
You can create a direct booking site for a listing or a group of listings in a couple different ways.
To create a direct booking site for a single listing, you can add it as you would any other channel. You will press the "+" next to a listing from the Listings page, and then choose "Create custom site" next to "Direct Booking."
You can also browse to "Direct Booking" and press "create custom site" there.
This will open up a page where you can select the "Listing" or "Listing Group" you want to create a direct booking site for.
If you are making a site for a single listing, you will choose a title, upload a logo, choose a subdomain, connect your Stripe account, and hit save. It is that easy to create a branded direct booking site!
If you choose to make a site for a listing group, so that your guests can see all your listings on one page, there are a few more fields to enter.
SEO Title - The page title that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results.
SEO Description - A short description shown below your listing in search engine results.
Hero Title - The text shown over the hero image. In the example below, this is "The Best in Hudson Valley, NY Vacation Rentals."
Hero Image - This is the large image shown at the top of your website. A slightly darker image (like in the example below) looks best.
Once your site is created, you can use the buttons next to your site to view, edit or delete it.
