Create your first space

Open the space setup guide

• From your dashboard setup tracker, select Start next to Set up your space.
• From My Spaces, select New Space.
• From Quick Actions on your dashboard, select Add Space.

The intro screen shows the three milestones — Describe your space, Show it off and Go live. Select Get Started. If you have an unfinished space, you'll see it here with the option to Continue draft. See Save and resume space drafts.

On every step, use Continue to move on and Back to return. Optional steps can be skipped by selecting Continue.

Milestone 1: Describe your space

Step 1 — Your Space

1. Enter a Space Name, for example “The Creative Loft”.
2. Choose a Space Type.

Both are required. See Choose a space type and activities.

Step 2 — Activities & Description

1. Select Select activities and choose the activities and uses your space supports. Select at least 1 and up to 10.
2. Write a Description, or let Superspace draft one from your activities and select Remix for a new version.

See Write a space description.

Milestone 2: Show it off

Step 3 — Photos

Drag and drop photos, or click to browse. Use JPG or PNG images up to 10MB each; landscape photos look best. You can skip this step for now, but at least 1 photo is required to publish. See Add and manage space photos.

Step 4 — Location

Enter the address, choose the State and the Local Government Area (required), or select Use my current location. You can also reuse the address of one of your existing spaces. See Set your space's location.

Step 5 — Operating Hours

Set when the space is open for guests: one set of weekday hours, optional weekend hours, or custom hours for each day. Guests can't book outside these hours. See Set operating hours.

Step 6 — Amenities

Tick the amenities your space offers, or add your own. This step is optional. See Add amenities.

Step 7 — Add-ons

Add extras guests can add to a booking, such as a service or an equipment package, with a price. This step is optional. See Add-ons and equipment packages.

Milestone 3: Go live

Step 8 — Booking rules

Set Minimum Hours, Maximum Hours and Maximum Guests; choose how bookings are confirmed (Booking Request or Instant Book); pick standard space rules, add your own rules and write arrival instructions. See Set booking rules and guest capacity and Instant Book vs booking requests.

Step 9 — Cancellation policy

Choose Flexible, Balanced or Custom and preview what guests will see. See Set your cancellation policy.

Step 10 — Pricing

Enter your Hourly Rate (required). If your plan includes it and you're verified, you can also add advanced pricing rules for selected days. See Set your hourly rate.

Step 11 — Review & Publish

Check the summary of every section and the Space completeness indicator. Then:

• If you're verified, select Publish & Go Live. Your space goes live and you'll see Your space is live!
• If your verification is still in review, select Finish. Your space is saved as Your space is ready! and you can go live from your dashboard once you're approved.
• Select Save as Draft at any point to keep your progress without publishing.

What's required to publish

If something is missing when you try to publish, Superspace names it and takes you to the step where you can fix it.
