Listing Setup: Houfy - Setup OwnerRez and Houfy
Listing Setup - Houfy - Setup
Houfy is a vacation rental platform that hosts can add as an extra booking channel through OwnerRez. Setting it up involves configuring the Houfy channel settings in OwnerRez, such as cancellation policy, short house rules and channel pricing, then creating and verifying a Houfy account and choosing which properties appear there. Managing it through OwnerRez keeps Houfy aligned with your other channels.
