How Do I Add Owners?
Owners can be added to your account in 2 ways - manually or by sending the person a registration link to register on their own.
This article will show you how to accomplish both.
Adding Owners Manually
To manually add owners, first navigate to the Owners module in the navigation bar.
Click on the + Owner button:
An overlay will be displayed, allowing you to enter the owner details:
Fill out all required fields and click Save.
Once the owner is added, it will be displayed in your owner list table on the Owners page with a Pending Status.
An email will be sent to the owner's email address letting them know that they have been invited to join Owner Center. There will be a verification button within the email that they will need to click in order to verify their email address. Once this is done, the status of the owner will be updated to "Active".
Adding an owner by providing a Registration url
Another way to add an owner is by sending them a URL that allows them to register by themselves. They will be prompted to fill out a form to be added as an owner.
To get the registration url, click on the profile pic in the bottom corner then on Account Info:
Once the person has submitted the form, they will receive an email alerting them that they will need to be approved by the property manager. This owner will then appear under the Owner Approvals button on the Owners page for you to click on and approve.
The owner will appear in the owner list with an "Active" status once you approve them.
Editing Owner Details
Once an owner has been saved, you can click on it from the owners list to see and update more information for this owner.
There will be several tabs available allowing you to customize the information for the owner, including their rentals, permissions, payout rules and more. You'll also be able to view information about this owner such as their bookings, payment gateways and activity logs.
The list of tabs available are as follows:
Basic Information - this tab allows you to view and edit details such as the owner name, email, phone number and address. Reporting stats are also displayed for the past 30 days for their revenue, total bookings and total nights, along with a chart.
