When you create your first property, Superhost opens a short guided setup that walks you through the things a property needs before it can take reservations: its essentials, its units, and your team. It ends with a review of what’s done and what’s still missing. The setup is optional. Everything it collects can also be set from the property’s settings pages, so you can skip it entirely and still end up in the same place.

​
The four steps

A stepper across the top shows where you are. Tap any completed step to go back to it — a step shows a checkmark once the underlying details are actually filled in, not just once you’ve walked past it.
1

Essentials

Property name is required — it’s the name guests and your team will recognize. Under Address, start typing and pick your address from the suggestions so the location and tourist-tax jurisdiction are set for you. Timezone is used for check-in and check-out times and scheduling.Tap Save & continue to save and move on, or Skip to move on without saving.
You can continue without an address and add it later from the property’s General settings. The Review step at the end will remind you it’s still missing.
2

Units

A unit is a rentable space — a room, apartment, or villa. You need at least one before reservations can appear on your calendar.Enter a Unit name such as Room 101 or Apartment A, pick a Type, set Max guests, then tap Add unit. The unit appears in the list above the form and you can add as many as you need. Tap the bin icon beside a unit to remove it.
This step captures just the essentials. Short codes, occupancy limits, size, smoking policy, and amenities are all set later from the property’s Units settings — see Manage units.
3

Team

Optional. Enter a teammate’s Email, choose their Role, and tap Send invitation — they get a one-time link to set up their account.You can invite people at any time later from the property’s Members settings. See Invite team members and Roles & permissions.
4

Review

A checklist of everything the setup covers — property name, address, timezone, units, and team — each marked done or still missing, with the value you entered.If everything’s covered, tap Finish setup. If something’s still outstanding you’ll see Finish anyway instead, and you can leave the rest for the settings pages.

​
Skipping the setup

Tap Skip setup at the top at any point to leave the flow and go straight to the app. Nothing you’ve already saved is lost, and the settings pages work exactly the same whether you finished the setup or skipped it.

​
The setup prompt on your tabs

Until your property has its first unit, the Chats, Tasks, and Calendar tabs show a preview of what they’ll look like once you’re running, with a Set up your property button that takes you into the guided setup:
  • Chats — Your guest conversations will live here
  • Tasks — Your team’s tasks will appear here
  • Calendar — Your bookings calendar will appear here
Tap Skip for now to dismiss the prompt and see the normal empty tab instead. As soon as the property has a unit, the tabs go back to their usual empty state on their own.
The prompt only appears for people who can change property settings. If your role doesn’t include that, you’ll see the normal empty tab.
