Your public business page
Every Habitia organization has a public business page at home.habitia.one/m/<your-slug>. It looks like a property management company’s own website: your logo and colours, a hero photo, the properties you manage, your available units with an Apply button on each, and, if you switch them on, your team, reviews, extra sections and a contact form. Nothing to design: you pick a template, a palette and the sections, and Habitia lays it out.
This page does double duty:
- A page you can share with prospects, owners, Facebook contacts, anyone who asks “do you have anything available?”
- Your business website for Stripe. During Stripe’s onboarding (the Connecting Stripe flow), Stripe asks for a business website. Paste your
home.habitia.one/m/<slug>URL. Nothing else is needed.
Finding your URL
Open Settings → Public page. The card at the top shows your URL with Copy and Open buttons. Your slug is generated from your organization name when you sign up — “Acme Rentals” becomes acme-rentals.
https://home.habitia.one/m/<your-slug>Note: The slug is fixed. You can’t change it once your org is created. If you re-brand, contact support for help.
What the page shows
In order, top to bottom:
| Section | Always on? | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Hero | yes | Logo, name, headline, subheadline and hero photo from the Public page tab. A footprint line (“Managing 8 residential units across 2 cities in PR”) is calculated from your portfolio. |
| About us | optional (on by default) | Your public business description, with an optional photo. |
| Properties we manage | yes | Every property with a listed unit, plus any property you tick under Properties we manage. |
| Available units | yes | Every unit where Listed for rent is on, with cover photo, rent, beds/baths, Available from, and a link to the unit’s own page where prospects Apply or Schedule a visit. |
| Team | optional | Name, title, short bio and headshot per person. |
| Reviews | optional | Testimonials you enter, with the author’s name, tenant or owner, an optional star rating and date. |
| Custom sections | optional (up to three) | A title, text and an optional photo each: your services, your process, the areas you serve. |
| Contact | yes | The channels you enabled (email, call, WhatsApp, office address with directions) and, if you turn it on, a contact form. |
The page is bilingual: a visitor sees it in English or Spanish from the switch in the header. Your own text (headline, bios, reviews) is shown as you wrote it.
Designing the page
Everything is on Settings → Public page (admins only; other roles see it read-only).
- Logo — PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5 MB, square works best.
- Description and contact — the About us text, and which contact channels the page and your listings may show. Each channel is off until you turn it on.
- Design — pick one of three templates (Classic: centred with serif headings, works without a photo; Modern: full-width hero photo; Bold: split hero with a solid colour block) and a colour palette: six presets or a custom colour. Button and heading text switches between white and dark automatically so your colour always stays readable.
- Hero — a headline (leave it empty to show your name), a subheadline, and the hero photo (landscape, about 1920×1080).
- Sections — switch About, Team, Reviews, Custom sections and the Contact form on or off and fill them in. Team members and reviews can be reordered.
- Properties we manage — tick properties you want shown even when none of their units is listed. Those show by name and city only; a property with a listed unit also shows its street, since the listing already does.
Click Save and publish. The page updates within a few seconds.
Tip: Open your page in an incognito tab after saving — that way you see exactly what a prospect sees.
Photos
Hero, About, team and custom-section photos come from your organization’s photo library (the same files as Settings → Documents & Photos). Pick an existing one or Upload new from the picker. JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB. Removing a photo from the page stops it from being served publicly; the file stays in your library.
The contact form
Turn on Contact form under Sections and the page gains a short form: name, email, phone (optional), which listing they are asking about, and a message.
- You get an email (reply to it to answer the prospect directly) and an in-app notification.
- The message is kept under Showings → Inquiries, where you can mark it handled.
- The prospect receives a short “we got your message” email in their language.
The form is protected against abuse (rate limits and a bot trap), and a prospect can only have one open message per day with you.
Why Stripe asks for this
When you connect a Stripe account (Connecting Stripe), Stripe’s KYC review checks that your business is real — they look at the website you provide. The home.habitia.one/m/<slug> URL satisfies this because it shows:
- A business name and address.
- A description of what the business does.
- Real activity (the properties and listings).
Note: If Stripe’s review flags your page as “not enough information,” the most common fix is adding a public business description and at least one listing. A blank page can read as “shell business” to Stripe’s automated review.
What’s next
- Publishing a unit on the public listings site — adding listings is what fills the Available units section.
- Organization profile — name, address, email and phone, which the page reads.
- Schedule showings — bookable visit slots on each listing.
