Still have questions?

Can I use your short-term rental website builder if I already have a website with an external provider?

Yes, absolutely! Our booking engine can easily be embedded on any CMS or external website provider (e.g. WordPress, Squarespace, Weebly, etc.) to start receiving direct bookings. However, some platforms may require extra coding. You can use Lodgify as your centralized booking software by synchronizing all your channels with Lodgify's channel manager.

How does the booking engine work with my other listings?

Your vacation rental website software syncs automatically with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com through our channel manager. When a guest books on any platform, availability updates everywhere instantly to prevent double bookings.

Are your website templates customizable by adding code?

You don't need any coding skills to create your own website on Lodgify. However, if you'd like to personalize our templates, you're welcome to do so.

Can I keep the free domain (URL) that comes with your annual plan?

Yep! Whether you transfer your existing domain to Lodgify or get a new (and personalized) domain with us, you'll have full ownership of it and can keep it indefinitely.

Is the short-term rental website builder SEO-friendly?

Yes. Every template includes SEO-optimized page structures, fast loading speeds and mobile-responsive design. You can customize meta titles, descriptions and URLs to help your site rank in search results.

Do I need technical skills to use the vacation rental website builder?

No technical skills are required. Our direct booking website builder uses drag-and-drop editing and pre-built templates. You pick a design, add your content and publish. If you get stuck, our support team helps you through it.

How long does it take to create a vacation rental website with Lodgify?

Most hosts launch their website in under an hour. Choose a template, import your property details, connect payments and publish. Our guided setup walks you through each step so you can start accepting direct bookings quickly.
