Frequently asked questions

Yes. microPMS is designed for independent owners who manage a small rental portfolio themselves. You can keep property information, bookings, availability and rates together, even if you have just one apartment or villa.

Yes. microPMS is a mobile-first web application that you open in your browser. You can edit properties, check the calendar, record bookings and prepare quotes without installing a native app.

You can create an account and start managing your properties. Your Account page shows your current property allowance. Paid billing and trial activation have not launched.

No. You can publish a property page with its photos, description, amenities and the contact details you choose to show. Share its microPMS address with prospective guests. Publishing is separate from saving a draft.

No. A new property starts as a draft, and changes in the property editor autosave. Check the save status before closing the page. A draft is not publicly visible, so you can return later to finish it.

Public property pages show the information you choose to publish. They do not show internal notes, guest records or booking details. You can choose public contact details and whether a property location is exact, approximate or hidden.

Yes. You can record a guest booking and its dates in microPMS. Availability checks help you spot overlaps with existing bookings and imported calendar blocks. You still arrange the stay and payment directly with your guest.

Yes. Owner stays and maintenance blocks keep those dates unavailable alongside guest bookings. A checkout date is not an occupied night, so a new stay can begin that day if there are no other blocks.

You can import an iCal calendar from a platform that provides a calendar export link, and share a microPMS export link with a platform that accepts one. This exchanges blocked dates; it does not synchronize listing content, prices, guest messages or payments.

No. iCal updates are periodic, not real-time, and each platform controls when it reads an export. A recent booking may not appear immediately. Check the last successful import and any conflicts, and confirm availability on your booking platforms before accepting a stay.

No. microPMS focuses on everyday property management and iCal calendar exchange for independent owners. It does not currently offer native OTA API connections, automatic rate distribution or a shared inbox for platform messages.

Choose a property, dates and guest count. Quick Quote checks availability and calculates a breakdown from your saved rates and fee rules. Review the result and copy the reply for your guest. Preparing a quote does not reserve the dates.

Yes. You can configure charges such as cleaning and electricity according to the property rules. Charges that depend on actual meter usage or a manual amount remain unconfirmed until that information is known; a quote does not invent a final electricity bill.

Yes. A property can use its own pricing currency. microPMS does not convert saved amounts using exchange rates. Existing rates and fees must be cleared before changing their currency, so a saved amount is not silently relabelled.

Paid billing and trial activation have not launched. Your Account page shows your current property allowance. Subscription prices, trial terms and property limits will be shown before you choose a paid plan when billing becomes available.

No. microPMS does not collect guest payments or charge a commission on stays. You arrange payment with the guest separately. The planned microPMS subscription pays for the software and is separate from your rental income.

The planned paid subscription can be canceled with access continuing until the end of the paid period. Paid billing is not publicly active yet. Final purchase terms and available account actions will be shown when billing launches.

Use the Contact page for product or account questions. In the owner workspace, open More to report a problem or suggest an improvement. Include the page and what happened, but never send your password or payment card details.
