Setting the default availability period

You must indicate to Stays.net what your availability period is, being able to enter a maximum period of 18 months or 547 days.

To do this, access the [Settings > Reservations > Duration] menu. In the [Availability period] section, choose the period of your choice and save the changes.

As an additional help feature, Stays will use this period as a basis to check if your price register is aligned!

Configuring the policy per listing

In case you need to configure a different availability period per listing, access the listing page and click on the [Distribution > Reservation settings] tab.

Just click on the [Individual] button, enter the desired setting and save the changes.

By clicking on the [Global] button, it will be possible to see a preview of the setting that was applied on the global model of the system.


The setting will always be used in listings, even if they are part of a multi listing location. Cloned listings will follow the availability period that you set on the parent listing.
