GoHighLevel Rental Global Settings Guide

If you manage rentals in GoHighLevel and also organize work in ClickUp, aligning your settings across platforms can prevent errors and save time. This guide walks you step by step through configuring Global Settings for rentals so your GoHighLevel account handles dates, fees, confirmations, and status updates consistently.

All instructions in this how-to are based on the official documentation for rental Global Settings in GoHighLevel and focus on practical, repeatable steps you can use in your own locations.

Accessing Rental Global Settings in GoHighLevel

Before changing any rental configuration, you need to open the correct settings area inside your sub-account.

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel sub-account.
  2. From the left-hand menu, click Rentals.
  3. Select Settings inside the Rentals section.
  4. Click the Global Settings tab to view and edit the rental-wide options.

Global Settings apply across rental bookings for that location, so changes here influence how bookings behave by default.

Understanding Global Settings in GoHighLevel Rentals

Global Settings in GoHighLevel rentals control several critical behaviors:

  • How dates and time spans are calculated
  • Who receives booking confirmations
  • How payouts and fees are handled
  • How bookings are shown in your calendars

Each group of options shapes a different part of your rental workflow, from when bookings become visible to how payment details are recorded.

Date Settings in GoHighLevel Rentals

The Date Settings define how rental periods are interpreted and how they appear on calendars.

Adjusting Date Span Options

Use the date span options to control how rental start and end dates work.

  • Rental Duration Logic: Choose how the system calculates the length of a rental based on check-in and check-out dates.
  • Cutoff Rules: Configure whether same-day or overlapping bookings are allowed.

These settings are essential to ensure your GoHighLevel calendars show accurate availability and prevent double bookings.

Time Format and Display

Within Date Settings, adjust how time is displayed for your rental bookings:

  • Choose between 12-hour or 24-hour time formats.
  • Standardize how times appear on booking pages and calendars.

Consistent time formatting reduces confusion for both your team and your guests.

Confirmation Settings in GoHighLevel

Confirmation Settings determine who is notified when a rental booking is created and how those notifications are sent.

Configuring Booking Confirmations

To set up confirmation behavior:

  1. In Global Settings, open the Confirmation section.
  2. Decide if confirmations should be sent to the guest, the host, or both.
  3. Choose the delivery channels, such as email or SMS, if available in your GoHighLevel setup.

Make sure the default confirmation message templates are consistent with your brand voice and legal requirements.

Internal Notification Preferences

Beyond guest confirmations, you can configure internal notifications so team members are alerted when new bookings are created or modified.

  • Enable alerts for new bookings.
  • Enable alerts for cancellations or changes.
  • Assign which team members or roles receive these alerts.

Proper internal notification settings help your staff respond quickly to rental inquiries and changes.

Payout and Fee Settings in GoHighLevel Rentals

Payout Settings let you define how rental revenue and additional charges are handled across bookings.

Setting Up Payout Rules

Use payout options in GoHighLevel to standardize how much of each booking goes to your business or to property owners.

  1. Open the Payout section under Global Settings.
  2. Define the default payout percentage or fixed amount.
  3. Choose whether payouts should be calculated per night or per booking.

Consistent payout rules make your reporting and owner statements easier to manage.

Configuring Fees and Adjustments

Fees ensure you automatically include additional costs without manual entry on each booking.

  • Create default cleaning fees or service charges.
  • Apply taxes or regulatory fees where required.
  • Decide if fees are included in the base rate or added as separate line items.

Proper fee configuration in GoHighLevel prevents undercharging and helps maintain transparent invoices.

Booking Display and Status in GoHighLevel

Display and status settings control how bookings appear in your systems and what each status means for your workflow.

Calendar Display Options

Inside Global Settings, you can define how rentals show on your calendars.

  • Choose color-coding for different rental types or statuses.
  • Set whether tentative bookings are visible or hidden.
  • Configure whether canceled bookings remain on the calendar as references.

Clear calendar settings in GoHighLevel make it easier to track occupancy and availability at a glance.

Customizing Booking Statuses

Booking status rules define what happens when a rental moves from one stage to another.

  1. Review the default booking statuses (such as Pending, Confirmed, Canceled).
  2. Adjust which actions are triggered at each stage, such as notifications or internal tasks.
  3. Ensure your team understands the meaning of each status for consistent usage.

Aligning status rules with your actual processes reduces confusion and keeps your rental pipeline organized.
