How to set up a TBBN Space

A Space is one bookable thing at a location — a table, a desk, a meeting room, a shelf behind the counter for drop-offs. A location can have many Spaces, each with its own price and calendar.

You need a verified identity and a location enabled for TBBN Space first — see Become a host.

Create a Space

Go to space.tbbnetwork.com → My Spaces and open the location.
Under Add a Space:
- Name — what guests see, e.g. "Study Room A".
- Category — Study room, Meeting room, Office room, Event space, Restaurant table, Retail corner, Parking spot, Coworking desk or Other.
- How guests find their spot — Numbered, self-service, Look for a sign, Ask a staff member or Other.
Select Add Space. The first time, accept the Space Host Agreement when asked.

The new Space starts as a Draft — only you can see it. Open it from the list to finish setting it up.

Set a price

Under Set a price:

Choose the Service:
- Meetup facilitation — people meet there.
- Drop-off / pickup (custody) — you hold an item until someone collects it.
- Both — meetups and drop-offs, each with its own fee.
- Coworking space — guests book the room or desk for a length of time.
Enter the fee and choose the Currency.
- Drop-off: set Max hold days (the longest you'll hold an item) and, optionally, a Per-day fee.
- Coworking space: choose Charge — Per booking (flat), Per hour or Per day — and optionally Min minutes and Max minutes per booking. Tick Require my approval before payment if you want to accept or decline each request first.
Optionally add a Discount % (optional) and Discount ends (optional) date. To end a discount early, tick Remove active discount.
Select Save price. Repeat for each service you offer.

Prices exclude tax — TBBN adds tax and its processing fee when the guest pays.

Profile & visibility

Under Profile & visibility, set:

Status — Draft — only you can see it, Live — guests can find and book it, or Paused — hidden, no new bookings (existing bookings are kept).
Category and How guests find their spot.
Who can see/book this Space — Public — anyone browsing or searching, API only — not shown in public browse/search (for businesses booking through the Space API), or Restricted — only matching emails/domains with Allowed emails or Allowed email domains (e.g. cornell.edu).
Max concurrent bookings — how many bookings can overlap at once.
Seats (optional), parking (Parking available, Parking notes) and Important things to note.
Liability — tick I accept liability for an item held here, up to the cap below and set Liability cap ($), or leave it unticked so the person dropping off carries the liability.
Photos and Amenity photos (optional, up to 20) with captions.
Optional links: Virtual tour or demo link, Your terms, Your privacy policy.

Select Save profile. If your Business is verified, TBBN emails you a code first: enter it and select Verify & save.

Go live

When the price, photos and policy are ready, set Status to Live — guests can find and book it and save. The Space now appears in search on space.tbbnetwork.com, unless you made it API-only or restricted.

Calendar sync

Under Calendar sync:

This Space's calendar feed (read-only) — copy the link and subscribe to it in Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar to see every TBBN booking.
Your own calendar's export URL — paste your Google or Outlook private ICS link and select Save calendar URL. TBBN then won't let a guest book a time that's busy on your calendar. Select Sync now to refresh it immediately.

Refund and no-show policy

Each Space follows your Business-wide policy unless you set one just for it. See Refund and no-show policy.

Common questions

My Space doesn't appear in search. Check that Status is Live, Who can see/book this Space is Public, it has a price, and your location is enabled for TBBN Space.

Can I offer a Space for free? Contact us from tbbnetwork.com/contact. A free Space carries a flat TBBN listing fee instead of a commission, and an existing Space can't be switched between free and paid.
