🔧 Finalizing and Publishing Your Listings on WeChalet
1. Log in and Access Your Listings
a. Log in to your WeChalet account
b. Click on Host Mode, then open the Management menu
c. Locate your draft listings and click Edit
2. Complete Your Listing Information
Go through each tab at the top of the page and fill in the required fields:
🗺️ Location
Since the address is not public, you must enter it to accurately position your property on the WeChalet map.
📌 If your address doesn’t appear on Google, see this article: How to fix a missing or incorrect address on WeChalet?
🏡 Space
Clearly define the type of space you’re listing (cottage, house, apartment, etc.).
📖 For more info: [Types of properties and spaces accepted on WeChalet]
🧺 Amenities & Activities
Some fields are imported from your PMS, but it’s important to verify and check all available amenities: towels, linens, toilet paper, etc. This helps reduce guest questions at booking time.
For activities, select those available within approximately a 45-minute drive — this is an important search filter for travelers.
📸 Photos
Photos imported from your PMS may contain captions in only one language. We recommend translating each caption (e.g., Salon lumineux avec foyer / Bright living room with fireplace).
Make sure to add a caption to each photo, and include your property name to boost search visibility.
Example: Cozy living room with fireplace and lake view – Chalet des 3 Poissons, Mont Ste-Douceur, Quebec
📝 Description
For properties in Quebec: Add your CITQ number if offering short-term rentals.
📖 See: How to add your CITQ number on WeChalet?
Your description is imported in only one language. We recommend using DeepL to create your translation.
🛎️ Booking Settings
In this tab, you can configure:
Booking type (since you’re connected via API, instant booking is enabled by default, though you may also receive booking requests).
House rules
Check-in / Check-out times
Minimum night stays (these are synced from your PMS, so no need to adjust them here. You’ll see your rules under the Calendar tab in the Special stay rules section).
Calendar availability (set this to “Fully open,” as your PMS controls your availability).
Cancellation policy (choose the policy that works best for you).
💰 Pricing
Enter your base rate, even though daily prices are synced from your PMS. We recommend entering your highest base price to avoid undercharging in case of a sync issue.
Also add:
Cleaning fee (amount charged after each stay)
Security deposit (WeChalet manages this for you – see [Security Deposit on WeChalet])
Extra guest fee (for occupancy beyond your base)
Special service fees (soon to be imported, but must currently be entered manually)
Weekly or monthly discounts (not compatible with PMS sync; must be entered manually as a %).
📅 Calendar
You can view your availability, pricing, and minimum stay rules.
⚠️ If you change a price or availability directly in the WeChalet calendar, it will only apply to WeChalet and will not sync with your PMS.
✅ Webhooks are in place so that any change made in your PMS (pricing, availability, minimum stay) is automatically reflected on WeChalet within seconds.
📑 Guest Material
This tab is not necessary for you, as communication and guest documents are managed directly through your PMS.
🧾 Status & Taxes
Here you can:
Publish, pause, or deactivate your listing
Enter your tax numbers
💡 If you don’t provide your tax numbers, WeChalet will collect and remit the taxes on your behalf. The lodging tax is also automatically handled.
