Getting started with ZenHost

Everything you need to launch: signup, setup, migration, first property, payments, and inviting your team.

Welcome to the ZenHost user documentation. This section walks you through everything you need to get going: creating your workspace, understanding the setup widget on your dashboard, importing your listings from Airbnb, adding a property by hand, connecting Stripe to get paid, and inviting your team.

How to read this section

New to ZenHost? Read the pages in this order:

  1. The signup flow — the three screens that greet you on first sign-in ("Welcome on board" → "Let's personalize your experience" → choose your plan).
  2. The setup widget — the assistant that shows on your dashboard and tracks your progress across the ten setup steps.
  3. Airbnb migration — if you already have listings on Airbnb, start here: a member of the ZenHost team walks you through the move end-to-end.
  4. Adding your first property — to create a listing manually (without Airbnb).
  5. Connecting Stripe — to take payments and manage deposits.
  6. Inviting your team — to collaborate with co-hosts, cleaners, accountants, partners.

Our promise during onboarding

ZenHost combines a team of human experts and AI agents at the service of your operation. For migration and onboarding, you are never alone: a team member walks you through it from A to Z, in minutes to hours depending on the volume of listings.

Every setup step is optional. You can do them in any order, skip a step, or skip everything to jump straight to your calendar — your progress is saved and the setup widget will return to your dashboard as long as steps remain to complete.
