🛠️ How does it work?
Your Ideal Office allows you to generate direct bookings on your own website!
- You list your properties on Your Ideal Office.
- Travellers can browse your listings, availability, and prices on the platform.
- When they click on the "Book" button, they are redirected to your direct payment page (powered by Smily).
- You receive the booking in Smily as a direct booking, with the source “Your Ideal Office”.
💸 At the end of each month, you pay a commission to Your Ideal Office, based on the travellers' check-in dates.
💰 Your Ideal Office Pricing Model
Your Ideal Office uses a commission-based model:
- 10% commission (excluding VAT) on the rental price only.
