Select Calendar Settings from the top navigation ribbon.
Choose the Rentals tab from the top navigation bar.
Click Listings under Rentals.
What are Listings?
Listings represent the individual rental items you offer—such as properties, vehicles, rooms, or equipment. Each listing contains its own images, description, pricing, inventory (optional), and status. Listings form the foundation of your Rentals setup.
Why Listings Matter
Control what appears on your customer booking website.
Drive availability on the Calendar View and Bookings Tab.
Store configuration details for pricing, booking settings, and calendar sync.
Define if you accept bookings across hours/days/weeks or months

What are Categories?
Categories are used to group similar listings and simplify organization for both internal users and customers.
Examples:
A property manager might use categories like Beach Houses, Urban Lofts, Mountain Cabins.
An equipment rental company might use Cameras, Lighting Gear.
Categories make it easier to navigate and manage large rental inventories.
Category Details:
Name: The display name shown in both in-app and website view.
Custom URL (Slug): Used to create shareable category links (e.g.,
/beach-houses).
Creating a New Category
Go to Rentals → Listings.
Click + New Category under the category panel.
In the Add New Category modal, enter:
Category Name (required).
Custom URL Slug – This forms the shareable link.
Click Create Category.
Each category you create appears in the sidebar for quick access and can hold multiple listings.
Managing and Sharing Categories
Edit a Category
Next to the category name, click the ⋮ menu → Edit.
Update the name or slug and save your changes.
Share a Category
Use the Share Category option to share a public booking link filtered to that category.
Delete a Category
Click ⋮ → Delete.
When a category is deleted, the listings grouped with it are linked to the default category.
Reorder Categories
Drag and drop categories in the left panel; their order mirrors what customers see on the booking page.
Pro Tip: Keep category names short and clear (e.g., Luxury Cars, Economy Vehicles) for a clean UI.
How Categories Influence Listings
Each listing must belong to one category. If you skip this, it defaults to the Default Category.
The order of categories dictates the order in which listings appear publicly.
