Bring your rental business onto Parlabnb
A step-by-step guide for onboarding a short-term rental brand — using villatropea.com as the worked example. From workspace to first booking in an afternoon.
- Step 1
Create your workspace
Sign up and create an organization for your rental business. Each business is a separate tenant with its own listings, calendars, inbox, team members and branding.
Villa Tropea exampleVilla Tropea's owner creates the workspace "Villa Tropea Rentals" and invites their cleaning coordinator as a team member.
- Step 2
Add your properties & listings
Add each property once, then connect it to every channel it lives on — Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, or your own site. Photos, pricing rules and house rules are shared across channels.
Villa Tropea exampleVilla Tropea adds one property — the beach house — with three channel listings: Airbnb, Booking.com, and direct via villatropea.com.
- Step 3
Connect calendars (two-way iCal)
Paste the iCal export URL from each channel and grab Parlabnb's iCal URL to paste back. A booking anywhere blocks the dates everywhere within minutes — no more double bookings.
Villa Tropea exampleVilla Tropea's Airbnb, Booking.com and direct-booking calendars all sync to a single master calendar. A guest who books on Airbnb instantly blocks the same nights on villatropea.com.
- Step 4
Connect your payment gateway
Parlabnb is multi-tenant on payments. Every business connects its own Stripe account via Stripe Connect (recommended), or brings its own keys for another supported gateway. Funds settle directly to your bank — Parlabnb never touches guest money.
Villa Tropea exampleVilla Tropea connects their Stripe account in one click. Direct bookings on villatropea.com charge the guest and payout to Villa Tropea's IBAN the next business day.
- Step 5
Wire up your own website or use the widget
Point your existing marketing site at Parlabnb using the per-org API key, or drop in the embeddable booking widget. You can also serve a fully white-labelled booking site on your own custom domain.
Villa Tropea examplevillatropea.com keeps its custom design and embeds the Parlabnb booking widget on the property page. Availability, pricing and checkout are powered by Parlabnb; the guest never leaves villatropea.com.
- Step 6
Go live
Turn on the unified inbox, automate turnover tasks for your cleaners, and start taking bookings. Everything — messages, cleanings, payouts, reviews — runs from one screen.
Villa Tropea exampleVilla Tropea goes live the same afternoon. First direct booking comes in that evening; the cleaning task is auto-scheduled for checkout day.
Multi-tenant by design
Every business on Parlabnb is fully isolated: its own listings, its own team, its own branding, and — critically — its own payment gateway. Villa Tropea's Stripe account, IBAN and payouts are completely independent from any other rental brand on the platform.
