Uplisting is a channel manager and PMS built for short-term rental hosts. It helps you manage bookings across many OTAs. If you are comparing PMS options, you need to know what Uplisting covers on its own and what still needs a separate tool. This guide covers both.
It breaks down Uplisting's core features and how its pricing works. It also shows where ChargeAutomation's payment automation fits alongside it.
Uplisting combines a channel manager, automated guest messages, a direct booking website, and a unified inbox. It also syncs many calendars to prevent double bookings. It includes security deposits, eSign rental agreements, and guest ID checks through a Superhog (now Truvi) integration.
Payment features include guest payment links and payment plans. This makes Uplisting a fairly complete platform for hosts with several properties across channels.
Uplisting charges per property you manage. Your total cost grows as you add listings, not per booking. So costs are fairly easy to predict if your property count stays the same.
Pricing is per property, not per transaction. So hosts with many bookings per property may find it cheaper than a per-booking model.
ChargeAutomation connects directly with Uplisting to add deeper payment automation. It offers automated charge scheduling and failed payment retries. It offers security deposit pre-authorization with a Damage Waiver alternative. It also offers 130+ payment gateways with built-in fraud protection.
Guest verification uses two-layer biometric matching. Upsell offers appear automatically in the same check-in flow. They sync back to the Uplisting reservation with no manual entry.
