    Pause or reactivate listings, see views and inquiries, and update billing from the self-serve portal.

Common questions

Do I need to stop using Airbnb or VRBO?+

Not at all. Calendar sync keeps all your platforms aligned so you can add Ruffhouse alongside them.

How do I get paid?+

Directly from the renter, however you prefer. Ruffhouse handles the conversation, not the transaction.

What is a Founding Owner?+

One of our first beta owners. Founding Owners get a locked-in price and a badge on their listing.

Does my listing need approval?+

Yes — the site administrator reviews new listings and edits to keep quality high.
