Your direct-booking questions, answered.
Payments run through Stripe-secured checkout. You connect Stripe Connect once, and guest payments are processed securely and paid out to your bank — the same infrastructure used by millions of businesses.
Before a site can take a booking, Perch confirms the host's identity, verifies that you own or manage the property, and connects secure payouts. Guests see a Perch Verified badge so they know the listing is real and their payment is protected.
Yes. Your site launches on a Perch subdomain for free preview, and you can connect your own custom domain when you publish.
No. Perch syncs your calendar so your OTA listings stay live and double-bookings are prevented. You keep your existing channels while you grow direct bookings alongside them.
Not at all. Paste your listing link (or start from scratch) and Perch generates your website, content, and booking engine automatically. Everything is editable with no code.
Perch builds SEO-optimized location and property pages designed to rank on Google and be cited by AI assistants, so travelers can discover you directly rather than only inside an OTA marketplace.
Perch turns your property into ready-to-use assets — photos, social captions, email campaigns, and SEO content — and can automate repeat-booking campaigns to bring past guests back.
No long-term contract. Plans renew annually and every plan includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. You're free to build and preview before you ever pay.
It's free to build and preview — no credit card. You only pay when you publish: a one-time $799 setup (then $99/year + 5% per booking) or $0 upfront ($99/year + 8% per booking).
Yes. Perch works for single hosts and multi-property operators — each property gets its own verified, branded direct-booking presence, managed from one dashboard.
