QUICK ANSWER

Add your availability page as a link on Later's Link in Bio

Create a free SingleCal calendar that combines your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com dates, then add its page link to Later's Link in Bio near the top, labelled "Check availability".

  • Guests see your free and booked nights, then book on your listing.
  • In Later: Add or Edit next to Buttons, then enter the text and link.
  • Use the Featured Banner block at the top for your most important link.
  • The calendar updates by itself, so the link never needs changing.

Only need guests to see when you are free? SingleCal turns your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendars into one calendar for your website or a shareable link. Free for one rental.

Why add your availability

Guests who find you on social media usually ask the same first question: are you free on my dates? A link on your Later's Link in Bio lets them check for themselves, at any hour, instead of messaging you and waiting.

One SingleCal page shows dates from all your booking platforms together, so guests see one up-to-date answer.

Want guests to see your availability in one place? SingleCal combines your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendars, free for one rental.

Step 3: Make it stand out

Later's Featured Banner block sits at the top of your Link in Bio page and is meant for your most important link. Use it for your availability page when open dates are what you most want guests to see.

You can also change a button's colours, shape and style in the block design settings.

Labels that get tapped

Guests decide in a second whether to tap, so say exactly what the link does.

  • Use "Check availability" or "See free dates" for your SingleCal link.
  • Put your booking listing next to it, for example "Book on Airbnb", so guests can book once they have found their dates.
  • If you have more than one rental, add one link per rental and name each one.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Later's Link in Bio and availability questions.

Can I show my calendar inside Later's Link in Bio?

Later's help describes buttons, a Featured Banner and Featured Media for a social post or YouTube video, not embedding a website. Add your SingleCal page as a button or the Featured Banner link.

Is SingleCal free?

Yes, for one rental. SingleCal Free includes a calendar page you can link to, combining up to two iCal links, with a small SingleCal badge.

Does the link update by itself?

Yes. The page reads your Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendars about every 6 hours on Free and about every 15 minutes on Pro, so it shows your latest checked dates.

Can guests book through the link?

No. Guests check your dates on the page, then follow your listing link to book on Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com.
