Our mission here at Uplisting is to provide members with the best and newest short-term rental technology for maintaining and growing their businesses. Uplisting’s all-in-one technology platform supports short-term rental managers and businesses to organize their properties and bookings seamlessly and, if they choose to do so, scale in a sustainable way. 

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Dtravel, which enables users to integrate its direct booking ecosystem into their property management platforms. Dtravel’s direct booking channel is powered by smart contracts that offer payment in cryptocurrency as well as traditional methods. 

The integration into Uplisting’s platform gives users the option to add Dtravel as a channel, and with a few clicks, launch their own direct booking site powered by smart contract technology.

Once connected, Dtravel hosts will be able to use Uplisting to manage their listings across multiple platforms, benefitting from the software’s accurate system (that never double books). 

Uplisting’s members can take advantage of lower fees, instant payouts, and rewards, while also reaching a new audience of Web3 travelers who wish to pay in cryptocurrencies, as well as fiat payment options. The partnership will ultimately provide hosts with increased business ownership by giving them added control over the payment processing layer. 

This latest integration follows the launch of Uplisting’s direct booking engine product in 2020, which helped its property manager members generate $14.5m in direct booking revenue in 2021, and is now on course to process $30m in direct bookings by the end of 2022.

Vince Breslin, CEO and Co-founder of Uplisting said: “Partnering with Dtravel is an exciting move for us. Dtravel is providing an incredibly valuable use for crypto that's often been discussed but never realized, until now. Incorporating Dtravel’s web3 capabilities will offer our members greater control and ownership of their business, which has always been a core objective for Uplisting.”

James Soulodre, Head of Marketing at Dtravel said: “We really value how innovative and supportive the team at Uplisting is when it comes to direct bookings. Uplisting not only has an incredibly robust product, but they have refined their user experience to the point where it is extremely easy for hosts to onboard and try it out for themselves. Our mission is to remove intermediaries by providing hosts with the technology layer to gain complete control of their money, terms, policies and relationships with guests. Uplisting is a key partner to making this a reality.”
