Can I control the order of my listing photos on Google?


No, the order of listing photos on Google Vacation Rentals cannot be manually controlled. Google automatically arranges images based on factors like search terms—for example, showing pool photos first if a user searches for properties with a pool. To optimize your listing, upload at least 8 high-quality photos, including key areas (bedroom, bathroom, common spaces). For best results, aim for 20 or more.

How long before my listing appears on Google?


Listings are typically reviewed and go live on Google within 2 weeks, but the timeline can vary. The process is entirely managed by Google and is outside of our control.

Why do I need to connect a payment processor like Stripe?


Connecting a payment processor, such as Stripe, helps ensure Houfy remains in good standing with Google’s platform. Google's integration requirements are strict and can vary by account source. Enabling Stripe is part of meeting those standards and supporting a seamless booking experience.
