Calendar Sync Integration for Venue Hosts on Findr
Calendar sync in Findr lets venue hosts synchronise their booking calendar across multiple platforms, preventing double bookings and streamlining space management. Findr is a UK marketplace where hosts list studios, halls, and event spaces for free and earn from bookings via commission.
What Calendar Sync Does in Findr
Calendar sync integration allows hosts to connect their Findr listing availability with their existing booking systems and calendars. This means when a renter books a time slot on Findr, the host's calendar updates automatically, and vice versa if the space is booked elsewhere. For venue owners managing multiple spaces or juggling bookings across different platforms, this prevents the costly mistake of double-booking the same room. Findr integrates with standard calendar protocols to keep your availability data consistent in real time.
Why Calendar Sync Matters for Space Hosts
Property owners and freelancers who list spaces on multiple platforms (Findr, their own website, or other marketplaces) need to stay on top of availability. Manual calendar updates are error-prone and time-consuming. Calendar sync removes that friction. A photographer with a studio listed on Findr can sync their availability with their studio management system, ensuring clients book only when the space is genuinely free. This builds trust with renters and reduces the admin burden on the host side, letting you focus on maintaining your space and growing your rental income.
How to Set Up Calendar Sync as a Host
To use calendar sync on Findr, you'll first need to become a host. This requires passing Stripe Connect Express KYC (Know Your Customer verification) and MRVL approval before your listing goes live. Once your space is listed, you can enable calendar sync from your host dashboard. Findr supports standard calendar formats and protocols, making it straightforward to link your existing booking system. The sync is bidirectional, meaning updates flow both ways without manual intervention. If you're new to hosting, Findr's free tier lets you list one active space at no upfront cost; you only pay a commission when a booking is completed.
Findr's Free and Paid Host Plans
Findr offers three host tiers. Free Host lets you list one active space with no commission upfront cost, though Findr takes a booking commission when guests book. Host Pro unlocks up to 10 listings, ideal for small property managers or creatives with multiple studios. Business tier removes the listing cap entirely, suited to agencies or venue operators managing portfolios. All tiers include in-app messaging with renters and calendar sync features, so hosts can coordinate availability and communicate bookings directly on the platform. There's no listing fee, only a commission split per confirmed booking.
Renter Side of Findr
While calendar sync is a host feature, renters benefit from it too. A renter browsing Findr sees only available time slots because the host's synced calendar filters out booked periods automatically. Free users get three booking requests per month to find studios, meeting rooms, or event spaces. Plus tier unlocks AI-powered, natural-language venue search and advanced filters, letting you say things like 'photography studio with natural light, north-facing' and get instant results. Pro tier adds Instant Book on supported venues, letting you secure a space with one tap rather than waiting for a host confirmation. Calendar sync ensures the availability you see on Findr is always current.
Getting Started on Findr
Renters can start browsing Findr for free on iOS and Android with no signup required. Once you find a space you like, you can submit a booking request (three per month on the free tier). Hosts receive your request in-app and can accept, negotiate, or decline. If you're a property owner ready to earn from your space, head to the host section, complete Stripe KYC verification, and await MRVL approval. Once approved, you can list your space, enable calendar sync, and start accepting bookings. As of 2026, Findr continues to expand its UK venue marketplace, connecting creatives and event organisers with the flexible spaces they need.
