TL;DR: Browsing Radius is free and needs no account. When you're ready to list or book, you can create one in about a minute. How you sign up depends on whether you're listing a property, setting up a company to book, or booking a stay for yourself.
Who this is for: š Host š Admin š„ Booker š¤ Guest
Overview
You don't need an account to browse. You can search accommodations and view listings, and you're only asked to sign up when you take action, like listing a property or placing a booking. How you create your account depends on who you are, so find your path below.
How to sign up: find your path
1. Listing a property
Create your account with your email and a password, confirm it from the verification email, and you land on your Host dashboard. From there you can list your first property. Have your photos, a description, your nightly rate, and your availability ready.
š Host: If you hold your property in an LLC or another company, set up a company account so your agreements are in the company's name. See Setting up a Company account.
2. Setting up a company to book on Radius
If you run a company that places stays for others, such as a relocation, corporate housing, insurance, or healthcare team, company accounts aren't self-serve. We set them up with you so the workspace, team, and billing fit how you work.
š Company admin: Send us a message in the chat at the bottom-right of any page, and we'll schedule a quick demo call to get your company set up. Your team then joins with invite links.
3. Joining a company that already uses Radius
If your company already books on Radius, you don't sign up on your own. Your organization sends you an invite link. Follow it to create your account, and it connects you straight to your company's workspace.
š„ Booker: No invite yet? Ask your company's Radius admin to send you one, so your account is tied to the right workspace.
4. Booking a stay for yourself
Search on the Radius homepage, open a property, and start a booking. You'll be prompted to create an account with your email and a password, then confirm your address from the verification email. That's it, you can finish your booking.
š¤ Guest: Use the email you want your booking messages and notifications to go to, since everything is tied to your account email.
