⏱ This step: ~3 minutes

⚡ Minimum requirement to run Cabinator

A Property Management System (PMS) such as OwnerRez, Lodgify, or Hostfully is all you need to get started. Everything else is optional and adds more capability over time.

Guest list & calendar Booking history Occupancy stats Upcoming arrivals
ℹ️ Cabinator connects — it doesn't provide. These are third-party services you'll need your own account with. Live data exchange currently runs with OwnerRez, PriceLabs and ChargeAutomation; anything marked Coming soon records what you use so we build the right integration next.

Property Management System (PMS) Required

A PMS manages your reservations, syncs your calendar across Airbnb & Vrbo, and keeps your bookings organized. Options include OwnerRez, Lodgify, Hostfully, Guesty, Hostaway, and more.

What this enables in Cabinator
  • Guest list with arrival, departure & booking status
  • Live calendar showing occupied and open nights
  • Occupancy rate tracking — monthly and year-to-date
  • Upcoming arrival and departure alerts
  • Two-way messaging with guests

Which PMS do you use?

Live exchanges data with Cabinator today. Coming soon records your choice so we know what to build next — it will not pull data yet.

Cost: varies by provider, typically $40–100/mo billed directly by your PMS. OwnerRez starts at $40/mo.
Dynamic Pricing Tool Optional

Automatically adjusts your nightly rates based on demand, seasonality, and local events. Works with popular dynamic pricing services to keep you competitive.

What this adds to Cabinator
  • Occupancy-based pricing recommendations
  • Forward-looking calendar occupancy view
  • Pricing health score per property

Which pricing tool do you use?

Live exchanges data with Cabinator today. Coming soon records your choice so we know what to build next — it will not pull data yet.

Estimated cost: varies by provider, typically $10–25/listing/mo.
ChargeAutomation Live Optional

Automates the guest experience — collecting e-signed rental agreements, verifying IDs, and offering upsells like early check-in and late check-out.

What this adds to Cabinator
  • Revenue tracking — total income, ADR i, and RevPAR i
  • Monthly and year-to-date earnings across all properties
  • Booking-level revenue breakdown for analytics
Estimated cost: ~$25–60/mo depending on number of listings. Monthly subscription billed directly by ChargeAutomation.
AI Guest Messaging Optional

AI-powered messaging that responds to guests automatically, handles common questions, and flags issues that need your attention. Select your tool so we can note your setup — direct API integration varies by provider.

What this adds to Cabinator
  • AI action items surfaced in your dashboard
  • Guest message summary & sentiment flags
  • Auto-response status per booking

Which messaging tool do you use?

Recorded for our roadmap only — messaging tools do not connect to Cabinator yet, and HostBuddy AI publishes no API, so it cannot be integrated at all.

Estimated cost: varies by provider, from $25–50/mo.

About You

This creates your Cabinator account. You'll use this email and password to log in.

⏱ This step: ~2 minutes

This will be your Cabinator login email.

What do you require from guests before arrival? Guest Readiness cards track exactly these — anything you don't require shows as "Not required" instead of a false alarm. You can change these anytime in Settings.

PMS Setup

Connect your property management system so Cabinator can read your bookings and guest data. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely.

⏱ This step: ~3 minutes
Where to find your API key: Log in to OwnerRez → Settings → API & Integrations → Personal Access Tokens → Create Token. Copy the key shown (you won't see it again).

The email address you use to log in to OwnerRez.

Found in OwnerRez → Settings → API & Integrations.

Optional Integrations

Enter API keys for the tools you selected. You can skip any you haven't set up yet and add them later from the Integrations page.

⏱ This step: ~2 minutes

Why connect this? Rates that never change leave money on the table on busy weekends and sit empty on slow ones. Connecting your pricing tool lets Cabinator watch your rates and occupancy together and tell you when a price change could earn you more. i

Go back to Step 1 and select which pricing tool you use to see setup instructions here.

Why connect this? This is how Cabinator tracks your money and guest paperwork — security deposits, damage waivers, signed agreements, and ID checks all flow in automatically, so your dashboard can warn you when a guest arrives tomorrow but hasn't signed or paid. It also powers your revenue numbers like ADR i and RevPAR i.

Where to find your API key: Log in to ChargeAutomation → Settings → API Keys → Create Key.

Why connect this? Guests expect answers in minutes, even at midnight. A messaging tool answers routine questions ("what's the wifi password?") automatically, and connecting it lets Cabinator surface the conversations that actually need you — a complaint, a refund request, an early check-in ask.
