There are a few Direct updates and a private pilot for Security Deposits that we can't wait for you to try!

Security Deposits

Private pilot is live for Direct Premium hosts 🤌

  • Collect security deposits from your guests for extra booking protection
  • Set the amount you want to collect for your listing's security deposit
  • It's free to use during the pilot, but a 2% fee will be applied to all security deposits after the pilot
  • This will only apply to new Direct bookings during the pilot
  • Sign up for the private pilot here to be invited

Direct

Custom domains are now available for every user 🌐

  • All users' custom domains have been imported to the new 'Domains' list
  • We're differentiating between external and Hospitable-managed domains
  • External: The domain DNS is managed externally, but we're aware of it
  • Hospitable-managed: We'll manage the DNS for you by connecting your server's name to us
  • We've also revamped the 'Domains' tab in the Sites view to have a better DNS verification
  • Custom domains can now be renamed
