Host onboarding

Get Listed on TownSquare

A simple, two-form process to add your direct-booking property and go live. Travelers click through and book on your site—no middleman, no platform fees.

Quick summary

Form 1 — Property Details (3–5 min)

Basic listing info + your reservations .ics iCal link.

Email link to Form 2

You’ll get a confirmation email with a secure link to Tier & Billing.

Form 2 — Tier & Billing (2–3 min)

Choose your tier, enter billing, and submit.

Manual Review (24–48h)

We verify your site & calendar, then publish your listing.

Mini-guide: your iCal URL (.ics)

Paste the link to your reservations calendar. Don’t open it—just copy the link address. It should end in .ics.

Airbnb
Calendar → ExportCopy iCal link → paste into Form 1.
VRBO
Calendar → Calendar Export → Copy iCal → paste into Form 1.
Hospitable
Properties → Export/Share Calendar → Reservations iCalCopy link (looks like https://…/reservations.ics?key=…&token=…).

It’s okay if your link starts with webcal:// or includes …&noCache—just paste it.

What you’ll need (before you start)

  • Your direct-booking website URL (with working checkout or request form)
  • Your reservations iCal URL (.ics) from Airbnb/VRBO/Hospitable/etc.
  • Property basics: name, city/region, beds, baths, key features
  • Optional lead image URL (1200×800+)
  • ADR (last 12 months)—estimate is fine; used to recommend a tier
How to estimate ADR
  1. Add up room revenue (last 12 months)
  2. Divide by nights sold

Result = Average Daily Rate. A rough estimate is okay—this only suggests a tier.

What we verify (24–48h)

  • Your direct site opens and accepts requests/checkout
  • Your iCal URL returns valid reservation data
  • Listing details are complete and match your site

We never store guest PII from iCal feeds—only date ranges for availability.
