Test Booking on Houfy

I would like to do a test booking on Houfy to see what it looks like for a guest and for the owner.

  1. Set a 5$ price for 1 night in the future at Edit listing - Calendar (Set 1 night min stay as well)
  2. Remove Fees/Taxes at Edit listing > Pricing
  3. Check your payment settings. Edit Listing > Payment Settings (Full payment due at Booking)
  4. Sign out of Houfy as Owner. (Or use another browser)

Create a "Guest" account with another e-mail.

  • Enter the message "This is a test request. Please ignore it.". So that listing does not get flagged for no-response and response rate is not calculated for this request.
  • Book & Pay the night as a guest - Check the price is indeed 5$.
  • Sign out as Guest.

Check your e-mail as Owner. Log in as owner and Accept the booking request.

Check e-mails sent to Guest and Owner.

Once all is fine: Cancel & Refund Booking

  1. Set price back to what is was before at Calendar. (Min Nights as well)
  2. Set fees and taxes back
  3. Adjust Payment settings again.
