More Direct Bookings, More Control

With Uplisting you can create a free direct booking website that allows you to grow your holiday rental business, without paying commission.

Your calendar shows all bookings; direct and through third party platforms, so you never worry about double bookings. 

Import bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo automatically, and availability updates happen in real time.

How To Create Your Direct Booking Platform

Connect your listings

Start by linking your Airbnb account to Uplisting. This will automatically import all of your listings into your calendar, and your unique landing pages are automatically created for each property on your direct booking site.

Your listings will then sync to keep everything up to date on your direct booking website. That means no danger of double bookings, or outdated prices.

Set up your site

Use an Uplisting-hosted domain or your own, and your direct booking website builds itself. Each property gets its own page, plus a homepage and booking page.

Already have a website? Simply embed our booking widget to start accepting direct bookings.All bookings appear instantly in your Uplisting dashboard, and availability automatically syncs across every platform.

Get Started

Enable payments

All of our direct booking sites take payment through Stripe, our secure payment partner.  If you already have a Stripe account, simply connect it to your site to start taking payments. If you don’t have a Stripe account yet, you will need to create one.

You stay in full control of your payment terms. Take full payment at booking, or request a deposit upfront and collect the remaining balance before check-in to encourage earlier bookings.

Customise the booking journey

Using Uplisting to create your own direct booking platform gives you more freedom than traditional booking platforms.

Offer discount codes, add terms guests must accept before booking, and encourage repeat stays with an opt-in for future emails and exclusive offers at checkout.

The Benefits

More revenue, less commission

Take control of your booking fees. Building your direct booking channel means less reliance on third party platforms that charge commission.

Direct bookings help you avoid the typical 15–20% commission, giving you more freedom to reinvest in your business or offer more competitive rates.


Optimised for mobile bookings

Around 90% of short term rental bookings come from mobile devices. Our direct booking sites are built for performance, optimised for both desktop and mobile users.

Your site will load quickly and allow guests to make reservations in a few simple clicks through our secure payment partner, Stripe. Better performance means more bookings.

More control over your bookings

With a direct booking site, you have an added layer of security. Customise the booking journey to verify guest identities, collect security deposits, and have guests sign a rental agreement, all before sending check-in information.

Guests automatically receive confirmation messages prompting them to complete these requirements, so every stay is secure and stress-free.Connect your Airbnb account once, and your listings, photos, descriptions, and availability automatically sync. 

Real Growth. Real Results.

I would be going crazy if I did not have Uplisting managing my short term rental bookings. I book through 3 agencies (all with instant booking features) and a website, Uplisting syncs and keeps me out of trouble.

I’m really excited to have a direct booking platform, and it’s already helped me build a stunning website... Once it launches, I’m going to feel very less tied to the booking platforms, which I’m stoked about.
