Create your workspace

Chapter 02 · 4 min

A workspace is your company inside Stay N Host: your properties, your team, your money. Creating one takes five minutes, but two of its settings deserve real thought - read the callout below before you click through.

1. Sign up at app.staynhost.com/signup with your work email and a password.

2. Verify your email. We send a link; clicking it activates the account.

3. Create the workspace. Give it your company name - this appears on quotations, receipts, and owner statements.

4. Open Settings → General and set:

   

   • Country - seeds your phone codes, the ID document types guests can present, and the starting set of payment channels. You can change all of those later; country just gives you sensible defaults.
   • Timezone - check-in times, the daily report, and “today” itself all follow it.
   • Base currency - the currency your books are kept in.
   • Date and time format - how dates render across the app.

5. Add your letterhead (same page, separate card): upload your logo and pick a brand colour. Quotations and statements you send will carry it.

Currency locks - decide it now

Your base currency locks permanently the moment the first money is recorded. That’s deliberate: a ledger that changes currency mid-year is a ledger nobody can trust. Pick the currency you actually account in - everything else (timezone, formats, letterhead, even country) stays changeable.

The other settings tabs, for later

You’ll come back to Settings throughout setup - it has five tabs:

Tab	What it holds	Covered in
General	Country, timezone, currency, formats, letterhead	this chapter
Operations	Day-to-day tunables for your workspace	Team & workspace
Payment channels	Which ways guests can pay you	Set up how you get paid
WhatsApp	Your WhatsApp Business connection	Connect WhatsApp
Approvals	Which actions park for an approval step	The approval system

What’s next

Your workspace exists - now put something in it: Add your first property.
