How to be bookable on Keyguides Connect?

There are two ways to become bookable on Keyguides Connect. When you set up your profile, you are not automatically bookable — you have to activate it. Here is a quick explainer on what to do.

Before you continue, make sure you have completed the banking onboarding to connect your bank account. This is required in order to receive money from guests who book you. If not, go back and finish your setup first, then come back here!

Without a way to book you, your profile will show this:

1. Bookable By The Hour

This is the quickest option to set up. It makes you bookable by the hour at an hourly rate. Think of this as your bespoke or tailor-made option — guests book you for the number of hours they want, and you plan the itinerary via chat, email, or phone after the booking is made.

How to activate it

To activate booking by the hour you go to your settings in the dashboard. Activate hourly booking using the toggle and set your price per hour. On smaller screens, the settings menu might be hidden — scroll to the bottom.

Guide Dashboard -> Settings -> Activate Hourly Bookings

After activation, set your hourly rate. We add our platform fee on top of your price, as shown in the example. Note: Bookings from booking partners using a referral link will reduce your payout by 10% (this covers the commission paid to the partner for bringing you the customer). Please keep this in mind when choosing your price.

You may also want to review the available durations below. Adjust the hours you want to be bookable — remove 1-hour bookings if you don’t want short tours, or add longer durations. You can read more here: Booking Durations.

2. Creating a Tour with a price

This option takes a bit longer because you must first create a tour. After creating the tour, you need to add at least one offer or pricing option.

Guide Dashboard → Tours → Create Tour → Add Price → Publish Tour

Create your tour with Nova the chatbot or by filling in the required fields manually. Then proceed to add your pricing options. You can read more here: Pricing your tours. You dont have to go all complex the first time around, adding one is fine.

You don’t need to go complex from the start — one pricing option is enough to be bookable.
