The Owners Portal is a website, separate from the Guesty Dashboard, where your property owners can view data about their properties, earnings, block dates for their own personal stays, and more.
You can connect your own domain to the Guesty Owners Portal to maintain your branding.
Follow the instructions below to connect your domain.
Note:
- A domain can only be used once. The custom domain redirects owners to your default Owners Portal URL hosted by Guesty.
- Third-party websites cannot serve as the Owners Portal URL.
- You will have to sign in to both your domain host account and Guesty.
