The full guide

From zero to the first booking - and the first payout

The whole path in eight steps. No technical knowledge, no agency, no consultant - you do every step yourself, in Lodvena or in the Przelewy24 panel, and we tell you exactly where to click.

  1. 1

    Start with an account

    The wizard walks you through the website, the rooms and the prices; bookings begin when you choose a plan. No card needed to start.

  2. 2

    Assemble your website in the wizard - six steps

    The wizard walks through six screens: the place, rooms with prices, photographs, your own words, look and address, publish. The yourname.lodvena.com address works instantly; connect your own domain any time with one DNS record - we help.

    1. 1Have at least three photographs ready — the wizard will not go past that step without them. You can also put it off and come back from Property and Website.
    2. 2On the "Your words" step we ask for your BOOKING, CANCELLATION AND PAYMENT RULES: the deposit, how late a guest may cancel free of charge, what happens on a no-show. It is the one field without which the site will not take a booking — the guest agrees to exactly that text, and its content is stored with the request.
    3. 3Write them in your own words, the way you say them on the phone. They are what protects you when a deposit is argued over, so do not copy a template off the internet.
  3. 3

    Set prices and seasons

    A standard nightly price plus seasons (summer, holidays) with their own prices and minimum stays. The website, the calendar and every quote read from the same place - change it once, it changes everywhere.

  4. 4

    Switch on online payments - a Przelewy24 account

    Guest money goes STRAIGHT to your bank account - Lodvena never holds it and never takes a commission. Registering a merchant account is free; you pay per transaction only (cards ~1.29% + 0.30 zl, BLIK ~1.9%).

    1. 1Register your company at przelewy24.pl (tax id, bank account, documents online).
    2. 2Once verified, sign in to panel.przelewy24.pl.
    3. 3Open My data → API data and copy four values: Merchant ID, POS ID, the API key and the CRC key.
    4. 4Paste them into Lodvena: Panel → Payments. We save and immediately test the connection - you get the verdict in words.

    Order a card terminal for the desk

    Guests paying by card in person? You apply for a terminal with the same P24 - with the ONEcommerce bundle the device can be free. Terminal payments are recorded in Lodvena with one click, in the same ledger as transfers and cash.

  6. 6

    Connect the portals - Booking, Airbnb and more

    On the Website plan you link calendars via iCal: paste two links and blocked dates guard each other. Plans with Channels get full two-way sync - rates, availability and bookings with guest details arrive by themselves.

  7. 7

    Run it like a hotel - without the hotel

    The front desk shows who arrives and who still owes. Guest letters (confirmation, reminder, thank-you) send themselves, in the guest's language. The tablet kiosk checks guests in without you. Reports show what you really earn - after portal commissions.

  8. 8

    Close the month without hunting through notebooks

    The KT-1 statistical return counts itself the way the form counts: a tourist is an arrival counted once, a night is one person for one night, foreign guests are broken down by country. The local tourist tax collects for settlement, and the registration book prints or exports. We do not file any of it for you - the portal wants a person with a login, and a statutory return should be read by whoever signs it.

    1. 1Panel → Reports → GUS (KT-1): pick the month, copy the figures.
    2. 2Panel → Reports → Local tax: the period, the person-nights, a CSV export.
    3. 3Panel → Reports → Registration book: every stay in the period.

The guide, screen by screen

One screen, one article

There are not two hundred articles here, six of them about prices. There are as many articles as there are screens - and each answers the same three things: what it is for, how to do it, and the one thing that catches people out.
