I have just migrated our short-term rental operation to Lodgify and need a true Lodgify power-user to streamline every corner of the platform and leave my team with crystal-clear documentation. Booking management is priority one. Our booking process is not instant, guests make a booking enquiry for us to review and accept/decline, not instant book. This applies to our Wordpress website (using Lodgify booking widgets) and OTA's. I want reservations flowing smoothly, calendars synchronising perfectly with the OTAs we use, and channel rules configured so we avoid double-bookings or rate mismatches. While you fine-tune that, please show me exactly where each setting lives and why it matters, to capture screenshots and notes for the team handbook. Payments and invoicing come next. I already have gateways - your job is to asssit with the invoicing workflow, guide how to set up easy payment links and give me a simple checklist to trace payment status from pending to paid without ever opening a spreadsheet. Messaging is the final pillar. Template creation, trigger logic, and timing must align with our brand voice and guest journey. Walk me through the sequence builder and adjust messaging to match our booking process - templates will be provided. Deliverables • Fully configured Lodgify account covering reservations, calendar sync, channel management, automated invoices, payment links and messaging templates • Step-by-step training document (PDF or Google Doc) with annotated screenshots • One live hand-over session (recorded) to ensure the team can replicate every process Acceptance criteria: every reservation source syncs within 30 minutes, all test bookings generate the correct invoice and payment link automatically, and automated guest messages fire on schedule without manual intervention. If you live inside Lodgify daily and can translate that expertise into plain-English instructions, let’s get started right away.

Hi, I hope you're doing well! I'd love to help you get Lodgify running like a well-oiled machine for your short-term rental operation. Here's how I'll approach this: Reservations and channels: configure enquiry-based booking across your WordPress widgets and OTAs, sync calendars, and set channel rules to prevent double-bookings or rate mismatches. Payments: streamline your invoicing workflow, set up payment links, and build a simple checklist to track pending to paid status at a glance. Messaging: build trigger-based templates aligned with your brand voice and guest journey, timed correctly for your enquiry-accept flow. All steps will be documented with annotated screenshots in a clean PDF or Google Doc, plus a recorded handover session your team can revisit anytime. A few questions to help me tailor this perfectly: 1. How many OTA channels are you currently syncing, and which platforms? 2. Do you have brand guidelines or a tone-of-voice document I should follow when refining the message templates? 3. Is there a preferred deadline for the handover session, or a specific team member I should train alongside you? Let's get your Lodgify setup running smoothly from day one. Azeem Amin

Hi, I’d be interested in helping streamline your Lodgify setup and creating a clear operating process your entire team can follow. I have 15+ years of web development, e-commerce, API integration and automation experience. I’m comfortable working with booking platforms, WordPress integrations, payment workflows, automated messaging and complex operational processes. For your project, I can work through: • Booking enquiry → review → accept/decline workflow • WordPress Lodgify booking widgets • OTA calendar/channel synchronization • Availability, rates and channel rules • Double-booking prevention and testing • Invoice and payment-link workflows • Payment status tracking • Guest messaging templates, triggers and timing • End-to-end test reservations An important part of my approach would be testing each workflow from the guest and admin side rather than simply changing settings. I can also document the complete setup with step-by-step instructions and annotated screenshots, explaining where each important setting is located and why it is configured that way. After configuration and testing, I can provide a live recorded handover session so your team can confidently manage the system themselves. I’m available to start immediately. Thanks, Varun Gautam TIV Labs

Hello, The key part of this Lodgify setup is not simply configuring settings, it’s making sure the enquiry-based booking workflow, OTA synchronisation, payments and guest messaging all work together reliably without creating double bookings or manual work for your team. I’d first map your existing booking workflow and connected channels, then configure availability, synchronisation and channel rules specifically for enquiry-based reservations. I’d also set up the invoicing and payment-link workflow, creating a simple way for your team to trace payment status. For messaging, I’d configure the provided templates, triggers and timing around the actual guest journey. Alongside the setup, I’d document each important setting with annotated screenshots and plain-English explanations, followed by a recorded handover session. 1. Which OTAs are currently connected to Lodgify? 2. Is the existing WordPress Lodgify booking widget already configured, or does that workflow also need to be reviewed? I can share relevant booking-platform and workflow setup experience in chat. Some technical details are difficult to cover here due to Freelancer.com’s character limit. If you want the Lodgify setup properly aligned with your enquiry-based workflow rather than simply having settings switched on, please open a chat and let’s review the current configuration.

★★★ LODGIFY / WORDPRESS SPECIALIST ★★★ Hi, To configure Lodgify around your enquiry-based booking process, I can set up the reservation flow so requests from both your WordPress booking widgets and OTAs can be reviewed and accepted/declined rather than treated as instant bookings. I will configure calendar synchronisation and channel rules with the existing OTAs, paying particular attention to availability and rate consistency so the same property data is reflected across channels. I will also test the workflow with sample reservations rather than relying only on configuration checks. For payments, I will configure the invoicing and payment-link workflow and create a simple status checklist your team can follow from pending to paid. For messaging, I will configure the provided templates, triggers, and timing around the actual guest journey. I will document the relevant Lodgify settings with annotated screenshots and provide a recorded hand-over session covering the configured workflows. To get started, I will need access to the Lodgify account, WordPress/Lodgify widget setup, and OTA connections. Thanks!

Hello there, My name is Samir Alexandru, a full-stack developer from Romania with 13+ years of experience in web development, WordPress, APIs, integrations and automation. I have worked with booking and reservation systems before, including external availability/calendar integrations, so I understand the importance of getting the booking flow and synchronization right, especially when several OTAs are involved. I should mention that I don't work inside Lodgify every single day, so I don't want to claim something that isn't true. However, I'm very comfortable working with third-party platforms, APIs and WordPress integrations, and I can work through the existing Lodgify setup with you, configure and test the workflows, and document everything as we go. The enquiry-based booking flow you described also makes sense. Before changing anything, I'd want to see how Lodgify, the WordPress widgets and your current OTA connections are configured, particularly since you don't want Instant Book. I can also handle the documentation and recorded handover, including screenshots and clear instructions for your team. I'm available to start right away and happy to have a quick call first to go through the current setup. Kind regards, Samir

Hi there, I can help you with this Lodgify setup. Booking enquiries instead of instant bookings changes how the whole flow works, from the widget settings on your WordPress site to how OTA channels push reservations through. I'd start by mapping out your current channel connections and then configure the enquiry workflow, calendar sync intervals, and rate rules so everything stays consistent across platforms. I'm Edward and I've got solid experience with WordPress booking systems and documenting setups for teams. The training guide and recorded hand-over session are definitely part of how I work. Let me know if you want to discuss the details.

I understand you need a Lodgify expert to transform your platform setup, much like how I recently optimized a client's booking workflow for a multi-property vacation rental business, resulting in a 20% reduction in manual data entry and a significant improvement in booking conversion rates through seamless widget integration. My approach involves a deep dive into your Lodgify account, focusing initially on configuring your booking engine for manual approval workflows. This includes meticulously setting up reservation rules, custom fields, and guest communication triggers. I'll then ensure flawless calendar synchronization across all connected OTAs via the Lodgify channel manager, implementing precise rate parity rules to prevent discrepancies and double bookings. Finally, I will develop comprehensive, step-by-step documentation tailored to your team's workflow. To ensure the most efficient setup, could you share which OTAs you are currently connected to Lodgify? Also, what are your primary goals for guest communication post-booking? I'm available for a brief call to discuss how I can deliver a perfectly tuned Lodgify experience for your operation.

Hi, I can optimise your Lodgify setup and turn it into a smooth, documented workflow for your short-term rental operation. I’ll configure and streamline reservation management, enquiry-based booking flow (not instant book), WordPress Lodgify widgets, OTA calendar synchronisation, channel rules, invoicing workflow, payment links, and automated guest messaging sequences. I’ll also create a clear team handbook with annotated screenshots so your staff understands where each setting lives and why it matters, followed by a live handover session. Quick alignment: which OTAs are currently connected with Lodgify, and do you already have your preferred booking enquiry approval workflow defined (who approves and within what timeframe)? Pricing and timeline are not fixed and will be finalized after discussing the complete scope and requirements. Let’s connect in the chatbox to align and get started.

Hi there, I understand this project requires a full Lodgify optimisation covering booking management, OTA/calendar synchronisation, invoicing and payment links, plus automated guest messaging. I’m confident I can configure the account around your enquiry-first booking process across both WordPress and OTAs, while making each workflow clear for your team to maintain. My approach is to first map the current Lodgify setup and booking journey, then configure reservation rules, enquiry approval/decline workflows, OTA connections, calendar synchronisation, availability, and channel/rate settings to prevent double-bookings or mismatches. I’ll document where each setting lives and why it matters, with screenshots for the team handbook. For payments, I’ll configure and validate the invoicing workflow around your existing gateways, set up practical payment-link processes, and create a simple way to trace reservations from pending through paid without spreadsheets. For messaging, I’ll build the supplied templates into Lodgify’s sequence/automation logic, aligning triggers and timing with the enquiry, acceptance, payment, and guest journey. Should I first audit the existing Lodgify configuration and document what is currently active/disabled before making any changes? I’m ready to start immediately. Warm Regards, Aneesa.

I’ll also make sure the messaging sequence matches your enquiry-first booking process and leaves you with a clean handover. Best regards, Kartik chaudhary

Your Lodgify setup requires more than basic configuration: enquiry-based bookings must work consistently across your WordPress widgets and OTAs, while calendars, channel rules, invoicing, payment links, and guest messaging remain aligned. I can help streamline the Lodgify workflows, validate reservation and OTA synchronisation, configure the invoice and payment-link process, and align message triggers with your supplied templates and booking journey. I would test the complete flow using controlled reservations, verify the 30-minute sync requirement, and document each important setting with annotated screenshots. I would also structure the handbook around practical team checklists so staff can trace payment status and repeat processes confidently. I can then provide a recorded handover session covering the configured workflows and common troubleshooting steps. Regards, Muhammad
