Airbnb

The world's largest short-term rental marketplace, connecting hosts with guests looking for alternatives to hotels. Airbnb charges hosts a 3% service fee per booking (or 14-16% under split-fee pricing). Many hosts use Airbnb as their primary channel while building direct booking capabilities to reduce commission costs.

Example

A host lists their property on Airbnb to get initial bookings, then uses Futurestay to create a direct booking website and capture repeat guests commission-free.
