Frequently Asked Questions?
FAQ for Property Suppliers?
How do the payouts work?
Livly is the merchant of record; we facilitate direct payment to the property manager on the move-in date.
How can I qualify for early payouts?
You can opt-in for split pay when you sign up for a Lynnbrook merchant account. With split pay, you receive the deposit minus our service fee on the confirmation day. This applies to seasonal travel or corporate rentals paid by credit card.
However, split pay isn't an option for insurance company claims. In such cases, payment occurs only on the move-in day.
How many bookings or rentals can I expect from Livly?
It depends on the number of properties you have; if you are already renting on Airbnb, Vrbo, etc., on average, we will help boost your occupancy between 10% and 20%!
Is a lease agreement required?
Our corporate and insurance partners sometimes require a signed lease to issue payment. Livly has a standard corporate rental agreement we enter into with our corporate partners to streamline the rental process; if a lease is required, someone from your company will need to counter-sign the agreement.
How does a corporate lease work?
We help streamline the rental process for you. This leverages your time as a property manager. When the rental is confirmed, we will push the booking into your PMS system. If a lease agreement needs to be signed, our corporate leasing team will coordinate that with you to save you time and money.
Which PMS system do you currently integrate with?
We currently have API integrations with HostAway Streamline, Guesty, and IGems, with more coming on each month.
