Yall Come Back is built so hosts own the guest relationship. The shared marketplace is optional discovery. Hosts pay a simple hosting fee, or self-host for free. Yall Come Back does not take a cut of every booking.
Two ways guests find a stay
- Host website — Your brand, logo, colors, about page, and contact. On a custom domain (for example cherokeelanding.net) or under
/h/[host-slug]. Guests book you. Bookings from here use the host-site channel. - Shared marketplace — Guests use Find a Place (
/marketplace) to browse many hosts. Listings show the host next to Reserve. You always know who you book with. Bookings use the marketplace channel.
Platform hosting vs self-host
- PLATFORM (paid) — Marketplace only at $5 per published listing / month, or branded website at $15 per published listing / month (marketplace included). Full brand-domain guide: Branded website on your domain.
- SELF (free self-host) — You run the open-source app on your own domain. There is no Yall Come Back hosting fee. Marketplace listing is optional (same as paid hosts).
What stays the same either way
- One calendar for direct, marketplace, and external channels.
- Direct booking flow: request → deposit → host confirmation when your process requires it.
- In-app messaging, cancellation policies, and host tax lines on quotes.
Roles
- GUEST — Search, save, message, book, and manage trips.
- HOST — Manage own properties, bookings, messages, earnings, and tax settings.
- ADMIN — Platform operator. Manages hosts, plans, approvals, and global settings.
