Choosing where a property is published (Channels)

Every property has a Channels tab in its editor. A channel is simply a place your property can be published, and there are three, each an independent switch — so a property can appear on any combination of them.

Booking management

Controls whether guests can book and pay instantly for this property. When it’s on, your listing shows live availability and instant checkout. Turn it off and the listing invites guests to request a quote (and links out to your own website) instead of booking on the spot — handy while you’re still setting a property up.

Wielo Directory

The Wielo Directory switch is the public Wielo listing at /property/your-place — discoverable on Wielo and bookable directly. Turning it on requires your setup to be complete: photos, at least one room, valid banking details and a refund policy. This is the same publish switch shown at the top of the editor.

Your website

The Your website switch shows the property on your business’s own branded Wielo website. You’ll only see this switch once the property is attached to a business (Basic info tab) and that business has a website. If it doesn’t have one yet, you can create one from the Website area.

They all share one booking flow

Keeping the channels separate lets you, for example, feature a property on your own website while keeping it off the public directory. Whatever you choose, Booking management, the Wielo Directory and your website all send guests to the same booking flow, so your prices and availability always stay perfectly in sync. Nothing about a channel changes how a booking is priced or paid.
