Onboarding, calendars, pricing rules, booking rules and payouts are the spine of this platform, and guests search and book against them. Here is every capability, grouped by who touches it.

You can launch as a pure stays marketplace and enable tours or mobility later from the admin, without a rebuild, because all seven types share one booking, payment and payout path. End to End ## How It Works, End to End Follow a host from signup to payout - the path that decides whether they list a second property. 01 ### Onboard and list A host applies, you approve them in the moderation queue, and they build a listing with gallery, video, room types, occupancy limits, bed configuration, house rules and check-in windows. Commission can be set for that host specifically rather than globally, which is how you give anchor supply a better rate without repricing the marketplace. 02 ### Set the rules, not just the price Seasonal and date-based rates, length-of-stay discounts, extra guest charges, cleaning fees and security deposits, plus minimum and maximum stay and an advance booking window. These are the levers a serious host expects, and their absence is the usual reason a host goes back to the incumbent. 03 ### The calendar holds Availability is validated at request time against the per-service date tables and existing bookings rather than a cached flag, and room-level synchronization prevents a clash inside a single property. Where you also sell through OTAs, iCal export keeps external calendars in step. 04 ### Guest books and pays The total resolves once through the pricing engine, any coupon is checked against its usage limit and minimum, and payment runs through one of six gateways or the internal wallet - in full, or as a deposit with an automatic balance reminder before arrival. No card number reaches your database. 05 ### The host gets paid Commission is written onto the booking at the moment it is made. Earnings accumulate net of that stored rate, the host requests a payout from their dashboard, and you review and complete it in the payout queue. Raising your commission later affects future bookings only and never rewrites what a host already earned. Step five is the one hosts talk to each other about. A platform that recalculates historical earnings when the operator changes a rate loses its supply base quickly, and it is not recoverable. Rationale ## Every Feature Earns Its Place Nothing here is on the list because it demos well. Each capability exists because leaving it out costs you hosts. | Capability | Why it is not optional | | --- | --- | | Commission stored on the booking | Because a rate looked up at payout time means raising your commission silently re-prices every historical booking, and no host will trust your reporting again. | | Per-host commission | Because your first twenty hosts are worth more than your hundredth, and you need a way to reward them that does not reprice the whole marketplace. | | Room-level synchronization | Because a property with four room types is four inventories, and a clash inside one property is invisible to a property-level check. | | Availability checked at request time | Because a cached availability flag is how two guests book the same room, and the host is the one who has to turn someone away. | | Seasonal and length-of-stay pricing | Because a host who cannot price a peak week or reward a longer booking is being asked to earn less than they do elsewhere. | | Deposits and partial payment | Because deposit-based bookings are normal in short-stay, and demanding the full amount up front loses both hosts and guests. | | Host payout queue | Because money moving to a host should have a deliberate, reviewable step, and because a refund after a payout is the question every operator eventually faces. | | Per-entity translation | Because a localised shell around listings nobody in that market can read converts nothing, and European city markets are multilingual by default. | | Magic-byte upload inspection | Because hosts upload property documents and photos constantly, and an extension check trusts a filename the uploader controls. | ## The Technology Behind the Features A deliberately mainstream stack: PHP 8.1+ on Laravel 10 as a modular monolith with more than twenty domain modules, Eloquent ORM with parameterized queries throughout, and Sanctum tokens plus JWT for API authentication. Data sits in MySQL 8 or MariaDB across 40+ tables, with a polymorphic booking model spanning all seven service types, composite indexes on the polymorphic pairs and full-text indexes on searchable content. The public marketplace is Blade with Vue.js components in the admin surfaces, mobile is Flutter for Android and iOS from one codebase consuming the same REST API, and realtime messaging runs on Pusher with Chatify. Redis handles cache, session and queue drivers with workers under Supervisor, and media goes to S3 or GCS behind Nginx. **Laravel 10**PHP 8.1+, modular monolith **40+**MySQL tables **Flutter**Android and iOS, one codebase **Redis**Cache, sessions, queues None of this is exotic, and that is the point: any competent Laravel developer can maintain it, so you are not dependent on us to keep it running. Honest Readiness ## What Is Not Included in the Base Package Everything above is in the base platform and demonstrable in the live demo. These are not, and we would rather you knew before you bought. ### Stated against the feature, not implied away - **Two-way channel manager**An add-on, not base. iCal export ships for one-way calendar sync. - **Dynamic pricing**An add-on rather than a shipped feature. - **Local payment rails beyond the six**A customization, though gateways sit behind a common interface. - **Custom OTA or PMS integrations**Scoped and quoted separately. - **ISO 27001**We do not hold a certificate and do not claim one. - **Merchant accounts**Each gateway you enable needs your own account and approval. - **Listing content**Photography, descriptions and per-locale copy are yours to supply. - **Custom work beyond the base**Quoted at 2 to 8 weeks depending on scope. Where a control is configuration rather than shipped, the security documentation says so plainly rather than presenting a clean-looking table - see the Platform Trust section on the [Development Company](/9flats-clone/development-company/) page.

[See the comparison →](/9flats-clone/development-company/) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I launch as a stays-only marketplace? Yes, and most operators do. Six further service types ship switched off in the admin, which removes them from search, navigation and the host console entirely, so your platform reads as a pure short-stay marketplace. Enabling one later needs no rebuild because they all share the same booking, payment and payout path. Can I change the commission rate later? Yes, globally or per host, as a percentage or a fixed amount. The rate is written onto each booking at the moment it is made, so changing it affects future bookings only and never rewrites what a host already earned. That is what keeps historical reporting and payout records defensible. How does the platform stop double-booking? Availability is validated at request time against the per-service date tables and existing bookings, not read from a cached flag, and room-level synchronization prevents a clash inside a single property. Where you also sell through OTAs, iCal export keeps external calendars in step, and a two-way channel manager is available as an add-on. How do host payouts work? Host earnings accumulate net of commission and fees, calculated per booking at the rate stored on that booking. The host requests a payout from their dashboard, you review it in the payout queue and mark it complete once the transfer is made. Bank transfer and PayPal are supported out of the box. Which payment gateways are included? Six ship pre-integrated: Stripe, PayPal, PayStack for African markets, Payrexx for European methods, an offline bank transfer flow with manual admin confirmation, and the platform wallet. Additional local rails are a customization, and because gateways sit behind a common interface, adding one does not disturb the others. Can I run this in more than one language? Yes, and at entity level rather than interface strings alone. Each listing, page and category carries its own per-locale content, with fifteen languages pre-configured and right-to-left layout supported for Arabic and Hebrew. Adding a language is an admin action, not a deployment. ## See exactly what you are getting - before you commit Request a working demo of the host console, the calendar and the payout queue, or check exact pricing.
