Launch Checklist

Steps

1. 1Create the property and complete Details: public name, slug, address, country, and timezone.
2. 2Add basic branding if you have it. A logo and color are helpful, but not required for day one.
3. 3Upload the guest-facing map guests should use when choosing a site.
4. 4Add bookable sites on the map. Each live site needs a pin, code, type, and nightly rate.
5. 5Add optional extras and required add-ons, then configure Taxes & Fees if every quote needs required charges.
6. 6Review Rates & availability for minimum nights, seasonal rate overrides, allowed arrival days, and blackout windows.
7. 7Fill out Booking settings: public contact email or phone, check-in and check-out times, arrival notes, cancellation policy, payment terms, and waiver settings.
8. 8Start the property subscription so CampGrid can keep the booking page available.
9. 9Choose payment handling. Manual requests can launch immediately; online checkout can be enabled when Stripe is ready for charges and payouts.
10. 10Preview the hosted booking page, test a future date range, then turn the page live from the setup header.

Check

• Property details include the public name, URL slug, address, country, and timezone.
• A guest-facing map is uploaded.
• At least one active site has a map pin, code, type, and positive nightly rate.
• Guest contact email or phone is present.
• Check-in time, check-out time, and arrival instructions are present.
• Cancellation policy text is present.
• Required waiver settings include guest-facing waiver copy or a document.
• A CampGrid property subscription is trialing or active.
• If online checkout is enabled, Stripe is ready for charges and payouts. Otherwise, manual payment requests are okay for launch.

Check

• Site names and codes match the map.
• Nightly rates, required fees, taxes, and add-ons produce the quote you expect.
• Arrival instructions explain where guests should go and what they need to know before arrival.
• Cancellation policy text is written in plain guest-facing language.
• Waiver collection is off, optional, or required based on your real policy.
• The public contact method goes to someone who can answer reservation questions.

Steps

1. 1Open the hosted booking page from the live strip.
2. 2Search for a real future date range and confirm available sites appear.
3. 3Choose one site and review the quote, including add-ons, taxes, and required fees.
4. 4Read the guest-facing contact, arrival, payment, waiver, and cancellation copy as if you were a guest.
5. 5If using manual payments, confirm the call to action says the booking is a request, not an instant confirmation.
6. 6If using Stripe, confirm the Payments page shows Stripe ready for charges and payouts and online checkout is turned on.
7. 7Send yourself a test request or booking, then confirm it appears in the reservation workspace.

Steps

1. 1Open the property from the dashboard setup checklist.
2. 2Finish the next required item shown in the property setup header.
3. 3Open the booking link and inspect the public page one last time.
4. 4Turn the live switch on when the page, pricing, and guest messages are ready.
5. 5Share the hosted link or embed it on your website.

Tips

• Branding is optional if the property name is enough for day one.
• Add-ons are optional unless you need required fees or upsells in the first quote.
• Advanced stay rules and blackout windows can wait if your availability is simple.
• Detail maps and amenity icons can wait if the overview map is already clear enough.
• Waivers can stay off until you have the final document and policy wording.
• Stripe can wait if you are comfortable handling payment requests manually.

Tips

• Use the dashboard setup checklist and the property setup header as the source of truth.
• If the public page looks stale after a slug or branding change, refresh the browser and reopen the booking link from CampGrid.
• If you pause the page, existing reservations stay in the dashboard.
