When Instant Booking is enabled, a ribbon will appear on your listing letting travelers know the property supports Instant Booking requests.

Once a traveler submits a booking request, hosts have up to 24 hours to accept the reservation before the request expires.

To enable Instant Booking for your property:

Once all requirements are met, you can enable Instant Booking by toggling the Instant Booking On/Off switch next to your listing.

Stripe Payment Setup
Your Stripe account must be connected to ensure secure payment processing.

Pricing Configured
