Listing Setup: Houfy - Connecting OwnerRez and Houfy
Listing Setup - Houfy - Setup
Houfy is free to list on and can import your listing directly from OwnerRez once the two are connected, so you do not need to rebuild your listing by hand. The connection uses an ID from OwnerRez, and Houfy guest payments run through Stripe, so a Stripe account should be set up first. Once connected, your listing imports across and can be previewed live on Houfy.
