How to sell stay extras to your guests

Step by step

1. 1

   Step 1: Open "Stay Extras" in the seller menu.

   It is under "LISTINGS". The page says "Things your guests can buy during a stay".

2. 2

   Step 2: Press "Add your first extra".

   Once you have one, the button says "Add an extra".

   

3. 3

   Step 3: Add a "Photo", a "Name" and a "Price (₦)".

   The price is what a guest pays for one. Add a "Description (optional)" too, if you like.

   

4. 4

   Step 4: Choose how to count your stock.

   Pick "Track how many I have" and type how many you have. Or pick "In stock".

5. 5

   Step 5: Tick your short lets under "Where guests can buy it".

   Guests at a ticked home can order it while they are checked in.

6. 6

   Step 6: Keep "On sale to guests" on, then press "Add extra".

   Look at "How guests see it" first. It shows your extra the way guests see it.

   

What happens next

• Your extra goes live at once.
• A new photo waits for our team to approve it.
• Only checked-in guests at a ticked home can see it.
• Extras never show in search or on your listing pages.

Keep your stock right

Orders do not lower your stock number. Update it yourself when you restock or run out.

Bringing extras to the home

Delivery to the stay is free for the guest. You bring the extra to the home.
