Custom URLs allow you to create a memorable, branded subdomain for your property page. Instead of a long URL, guests can access your property at a simple address like your-property.bookwithhaven.com.
What Are Custom URLs?
A custom URL (subdomain) is a shorter, branded web address for your property:
- Format:
your-slug.bookwithhaven.com
- Example:
beach-house.bookwithhaven.com
- Easy to share - Much easier than long property codes
Setting Up a Custom URL
- Navigate to Custom URL section - In your property edit page, find the Custom URL section
- Enter your slug - Choose a short, memorable word or phrase
- Check availability - Haven will check if the slug is available
- Save - Once available, save your custom URL
Choosing a Good Slug
Your slug should be:
- Short - Easy to remember and type
- Memorable - Something guests will remember
- Relevant - Related to your property name or location
- Available - Not already taken by another property
Good Examples
beach-housedowntown-loftmountain-retreatsunset-villa
What to Avoid
- Very long phrases
- Special characters (except hyphens)
- Numbers unless necessary
- Generic terms that might conflict
Availability Checking
Haven checks availability in real-time:
- Green checkmark - Slug is available
- Red X - Slug is already taken
- Your domain - Shows if it's your current slug
Using Your Custom URL
Once set up:
- Share the URL directly with guests
- Use in marketing materials
- Add to social media profiles
- Include in email signatures
Changing Your Custom URL
You can change your custom URL:
- Enter a new slug
- Check availability
- Save to update
Note: The old URL will no longer work once changed.
