Managing your short-term rentals on Uplisting? You can pair it with a Boostly direct booking website and start receiving bookings directly from guests without changing the way your day-to-day operations work. This guide walks through what the integration does, who gets the most from this setup, and how the connection is established.
Why Uplisting Users Turn to Boostly for Their Direct Booking Website
Uplisting is built around simplicity and reliability. The platform handles channel management, automated messaging, calendar synchronisation, and reporting without the complexity of some of the larger enterprise PMS tools. For hosts who want a clean, functional system that just works, it is a popular choice.
Where most PMS platforms, including Uplisting, have natural limitations is on the direct booking side. Getting guests to discover your property through your own website, trust the booking process, and complete a reservation without going through Airbnb or Booking.com requires a different kind of tool.
Boostly builds direct booking websites designed specifically for short-term rental hosts. When Uplisting is connected to your Boostly site, your availability, pricing, and property details pull through in real time. Guests arrive at a professional website on your own domain, see accurate information, and can book directly with you. Every booking that comes through your Boostly site is a booking you keep in full, with no commission paid to a third-party platform.
What Is Uplisting and Who Uses It?
Uplisting is a property management and channel management platform used by short-term rental hosts and small property management companies. The platform connects to Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com with direct API integrations, meaning calendar and pricing data syncs quickly and reliably across the channels you are listed on.
Uplisting includes automated messaging tools that handle guest communication from booking confirmation through to check-out follow-up, a unified calendar that shows all reservations across all channels in one view, and pricing management that lets you set rates and rules from a central dashboard. The platform is known for being straightforward to set up and easy to manage day to day, making it a good fit for hosts who want solid functionality without a steep learning curve.
It suits individual hosts with multiple properties as well as small management companies looking for a clean, reliable system at a fair price point. Operators who want feature depth and enterprise-level complexity tend to move towards Guesty or Hostaway, but for hosts who value ease of use alongside strong core channel management, Uplisting delivers well.
What the Boostly and Uplisting Integration Does
The connection between Boostly and Uplisting operates through a direct API. Once in place, the following happens automatically and continuously:
- Availability syncing: When a booking is made in Uplisting or on any connected OTA, your Boostly website calendar updates immediately. Guests always see accurate, live availability.
- Live pricing: Rates configured in Uplisting, including seasonal pricing and minimum stay rules, display correctly on your Boostly website at all times.
- Property details: Descriptions, photographs, and amenity lists from your Uplisting properties populate your Boostly site automatically.
- Booking feed: When a guest books through your Boostly website, the reservation goes straight into Uplisting and blocks those dates across all your connected channels instantly.
- Guest communication: Uplisting's automated messaging workflows fire for direct bookings exactly as they do for Airbnb and Booking.com bookings.
There is nothing for you to manage manually. The connection runs in the background continuously once it is set up.
Who Gets the Most From This Setup
Hosts managing multiple properties across channels
Uplisting's channel management is reliable and clean. When you add a Boostly website to that setup, your direct booking channel benefits from the same data quality as your OTA listings. Guests checking availability on your Boostly site see the same accurate calendar as guests checking on Airbnb. There is no discrepancy, and managing everything stays simple because all your listing data still lives in Uplisting.
Operators wanting to grow direct bookings without complexity
One of the reasons hosts choose Uplisting is that it does not overwhelm them with features they do not need. The same principle applies to the Boostly setup. Boostly handles the website build, the integration, and the technical side. You get a live direct booking website without needing to become a web developer or manage any technical infrastructure yourself.
Hosts building long-term guest relationships
Guests who book directly with you once and have a good experience are far more likely to return and book directly again. Over time, a growing base of repeat guests who come back through your Boostly website rather than Airbnb shifts your revenue mix significantly. Each repeat direct booking saves the commission you would otherwise pay on that reservation.
How the Connection Is Set Up
Boostly's team manages the technical setup as part of your website build. No development knowledge is required from you.
- Your Boostly project manager configures the API connection between Uplisting and your website during the onboarding and build process.
- Your Uplisting properties are mapped to the appropriate pages on your Boostly site.
- The booking widget is integrated into your property pages so guests can check availability and complete a booking without leaving your site.
- The connection is tested fully before launch to confirm data is flowing correctly in both directions.
- Your website goes live, fully synced with your Uplisting account.
Existing Boostly clients who want to move to Uplisting from another PMS can have the integration updated by their project manager without affecting their existing website content or domain.

What Boostly Adds That Uplisting Does Not
Uplisting focuses on operations and channel management. It does not include a built-in direct booking website as a core feature. This means Uplisting users who want a direct booking channel need to either use a third-party booking widget embedded in an existing site or build a standalone website. Boostly provides the complete solution for that: a professionally designed WordPress site, connected to your Uplisting account, built specifically to convert visitors into bookings.
Alongside the website, Boostly provides access to Boostly Academy, a training programme that teaches you how to drive traffic to your site and grow your direct booking percentage over time. Weekly coaching calls and a community of over 2,000 hosts using the same approach provide accountability and ongoing support. For operators who want a direct booking channel that actively grows, that ecosystem adds real value beyond the website itself.
