Set up listing types

A listing type is a category of unit - Studio, One-bed Deluxe - and it is the level where you describe a kind of unit once instead of per apartment: capacity, base price, amenities, and guest-facing content all live here and flow down to every unit of the type.

A property page - Listing types is the first tab, in build order

  1. Open the property. The Listing types tab is the first tab - and the one the page lands on, because a listing cannot be created until a type exists.

  2. Click New type. Give it a Name (“One-bed apartment”) and a Key (a lowercase identifier like one_bed - set once, never changed).

  3. Fill Capacity & stay: Adults / Children / Infants, the Rate occupancy, and the default Min stay / Max stay in nights (leave max empty for no cap). These sync to your booking channels.

  4. Add Attributes - free label/value rows that describe the type. Type and View are pre-seeded suggestions; add your own. Click Save type.

Each active type carries four more buttons:

  • Set pricing - the type’s base nightly rate. The most specific level wins: unit override → listing type → property default.
  • Amenities - the default set for every unit of this type (how inheritance works).
  • Content - description and rules every unit of this type says, unless the unit says otherwise.
  • Edit / Archive - archiving is refused while the type still has units.

Split one type into two when the difference changes what a guest pays or books: different capacity, a different base rate, a sea view worth charging for. Keep one type when the units are interchangeable - bookings of a type can be assigned to any free unit of it, so needless splits just fragment your availability. A single-home property is simply one type with one listing.

With a type in place, add the sellable units: Add a listing.
