🚀 Getting Started with Livily

Livily is the first corporate travel marketplace built specifically for professionally managed vacation rentals. We connect your inventory to the global business travel ecosystem, giving you access to corporate travelers, extended stays, and weekday demand hotels traditionally dominate.

This guide provides a high-level overview of how Livily works and what you need to review before going live.

 

1️⃣ Account Setup & Verification 🛡️

Create your Livily account and complete identity verification.

This ensures:

  • Secure payouts

  • Compliance with corporate travel standards

  • Trust with enterprise travel buyers

2️⃣ Connect Your PMS 🔗

Connect your Property Management System to Livily for real-time syncing.

Your PMS controls:

  • Rates and availability

  • Minimum stays

  • Extra fees and pass-through charges

Before going live, review the Extra Fees and PMS Sync article to confirm all fees are mapped correctly.

3️⃣ Understand Payouts & Merchant of Record 💳

Livily acts as the merchant of record on all bookings.

What this means for you:

  • Livily collects payment from the corporate traveler

  • You are paid at check-in, not at booking

  • Payouts are made via bank transfer or virtual credit card

To receive payouts, connect your bank account in the Livily Wallet.

Learn more in Setting Up Payouts.

4️⃣ Corporate Discounts Are Dynamic 💼

Corporate travelers expect discounted rates — Livily manages this dynamically.

How it works:

  • You select a corporate discount (for example, 20%)

  • The actual discount dynamically ranges based on demand, length of stay, and traveler type

  • Discounts are applied against your Best Available Rate (B.A.R.)

This approach maximizes occupancy while protecting revenue.

See Corporate Discounts for details.

5️⃣ Markups & Host Fees 📈

Livily applies a default 15% markup to bookings.

This markup:

  • Covers the host service fee

  • Represents the maximum markup allowed on the platform

Your net payout remains protected.

6️⃣ Cancellation Policies ❌

All cancellation policies are managed at the account level.

This ensures:

  • Consistent rules across all listings

  • Alignment with corporate travel expectations

  • The ability to update your policy at any time

See Cancellation Policies for more information.

7️⃣ Review Extra Fees & PMS Sync ⚠️

Before going live, verify that all extra fees are syncing correctly from your PMS.

This includes:

  • Cleaning fees

  • Resort or destination fees

  • Parking, pet, and HOA-related fees

Make sure:

  • Fees match between your PMS and Livily

  • Nothing is duplicated or missing

Watch the Extra Fees and PMS Sync video for best practices.
