Meet VowBuilt Web: Direct Booking Sites for Inndirectly Hosts

Inndirectly is where your listing gets found. A VowBuilt direct booking site is where you get paid.

An Introduction: Inndirectly and VowBuilt Web

Here at Inndirectly, our job is putting your listing in front of travelers searching across the web, with zero booking fees and zero commissions. Sometimes a host wants to go one step further and have a website of their own, and when they do, we're happy to introduce VowBuilt Web, a new Inndirectly affiliate.

VowBuilt Web builds and looks after direct booking websites for hosts and property managers. Your VowBuilt site shows your homes by the night, the month or the year, and guests book with you directly on it. VowBuilt never takes a cut of a booking, and the domain is registered in your name. Pair it with your Inndirectly listing and you have the full picture: found on Inndirectly, booked on your own site, with no commission taken by either one.

What does a VowBuilt site do for you?

Your VowBuilt site is month to month with no contract, and the domain is registered in your name, not the builder's. Whether or not you already use property management software, VowBuilt can help: they place your booking setup on your site so guests see live dates and pay there, and if you don't have software, they have a version that takes date requests and processes payment into your own account.

How do hosts start with VowBuilt?

1. Reach out through vowbuilt.com/rentals.
2. VowBuilt builds a free sample homepage on the Residence look, so you see your own homes on a site of your own before you pay anything.
3. Like it? Get your site built, your way.

There is a fee calculator on vowbuilt.com/rentals, so you can run your own numbers when you're ready.

VowBuilt covers your Inndirectly listing

Your Inndirectly listing is only $50 a year, or $4 a month, to get your listing visibility. And here is the promotion VowBuilt is running for Inndirectly hosts: for the first 20 hosts who sign up for a VowBuilt site, VowBuilt will cover that fee for up to three properties. Your site, your domain, and your Inndirectly listings, all handled with one signup.

How does VowBuilt line up with Inndirectly?

Both are built on the same belief: hosts should own the relationship with their guests and keep what guests pay.

Every direct booking site VowBuilt builds carries a "Find us on Inndirectly" link to the host's Inndirectly profile, so guests who discover a home on the host's own site can also find it, and the host's other homes, on Inndirectly. VowBuilt also encourages every host they build for to list on Inndirectly, which grows the network for everyone.

For hosts, this is a natural pair: Inndirectly is where your listing gets found, and a VowBuilt direct booking site is where you get paid.

For Guests

When a host you love has a VowBuilt site and an Inndirectly listing, you win twice: book on their site and skip the platform service fee, or create a free Inndirectly account to connect directly with them and bypass platform fees entirely. Guest signup takes a minute: inndirectly.com/signup. Set Smart Alerts while you are there to hear when new properties matching your saved search become available.

For Hosts

If you have been thinking about your own direct booking site, VowBuilt is a great place to start, beginning with the free sample homepage. If you have not listed on Inndirectly yet, the VowBuilt promotion covers the listing fee for the first 20 hosts, up to three properties. Sign up here: inndirectly.com/signup.

Pair your setup with Waivo for damage protection and guest screening, and consider Marblism if you want a hand with your own direct booking presence.

Referrals: A $15 Credit for You, a Discount for Them

The Bottom Line

Inndirectly is where your listing gets found. A VowBuilt direct booking site is where you get paid. Start your VowBuilt site at vowbuilt.com/rentals, list on Inndirectly at inndirectly.com/signup, and let VowBuilt cover your listing.
