A Rental Contract PDF is mandatory for initial integration with VRBO.

This document will be used to validate your property terms during onboarding.

A connected payment processor (e.g., Stripe) is required for payment collection.

Ensure the account is active and verified before integration.
4. Pricing Configuration

Pricing must be fully configured on Jurny before integration.
