1. Log in and Access Your Listings

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:

📖 For more info:

🧺 Amenities & Activities
Some fields are imported, 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 Lodgify 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. For 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.

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 on WeChalet and will not sync with Lodgify.
✅ Webhooks are in place so that any pricing changes made in Lodgify are automatically reflected on WeChalet within seconds.
📑 Guest Material
This tab is not necessary for you, as your communication and guest documents are managed directly through Lodgify.
