Find answers about your products, downloads, refunds, and how to get the most out of HostKit.

🛒 Purchasing & Downloads
How do I purchase a product?

Click any "Get Instant Access" button on tryhostkit.com. You'll be taken to our Gumroad checkout page where you can pay by credit card, debit card, or PayPal. The entire checkout process takes under 60 seconds.

Where do I download my product after purchase?

Immediately after purchase, Gumroad sends you an email receipt with a download link. Click the link to download your file(s). You can also log in to your Gumroad Library at any time to re-download past purchases.

📬 Don't see the email? Check your spam/junk folder. The email comes from Gumroad (not HostKit). Search your inbox for "gumroad" if you can't find it.
Can I re-download a product I've already purchased?

Yes, always. Log in to app.gumroad.com with the email address you used to purchase. Your entire purchase history is stored in your Gumroad Library and available for download at any time — even years later.

Is it safe to enter my credit card on your checkout page?

Yes. We use Gumroad as our payment processor — the same platform used by hundreds of thousands of creators worldwide. Gumroad is PCI-DSS compliant and your card information is processed by Stripe, one of the world's leading payment processors. HostKit never sees your card number.

Do you offer a discount or bundle pricing?

Yes — the HostKit Bundle at $147 includes all 5 products (3 core tools + 2 bonus tools) for the price of roughly two individual products. That's a saving of $104 vs. buying each item separately. It's the best value option and the most popular purchase.

📦 File Formats & Software
What format are the files? What software do I need?
  • STR Profit Dashboard — .xlsx (Excel workbook). Requires Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets (free). Works on Mac and Windows.
  • Guest Communication Toolkit — PDF. Opens in any PDF viewer including Adobe Reader (free), Preview on Mac, or your browser.
  • 5-Star Turnover System — PDF. Same as above.
  • STR Tax Prep Guide — PDF.
  • Dynamic Pricing Workbook — PDF.
💡 If you don't have Microsoft Excel, you can open the .xlsx file in Google Sheets for free at sheets.google.com. All formulas work correctly in Google Sheets.
Does the STR Profit Dashboard work on Mac? On iPhone/iPad?

Yes to Mac — use Excel for Mac or upload to Google Sheets. For iPhone and iPad, the formulas will work in the Excel iOS app (free download from the App Store) or Google Sheets mobile app. The experience is best on a desktop or laptop due to the amount of data you'll be entering.

Can I print the PDF products?

Absolutely — the PDFs are designed for printing. The Turnover System checklist in particular is intended to be printed and used at each turnover. Print in color for the best result, but all content is readable in black and white.

Can I edit or customize the templates?

The Excel workbook (.xlsx) is fully editable — all blue input cells can be modified, and you can add rows to the expense trackers if needed. The PDF files are not directly editable, but you can copy text from any PDF and paste it into your own documents. The guest message templates in particular are designed to be copied, lightly personalized, and pasted into Airbnb/VRBO messages.

Can I share a product with my property manager or co-host?

Yes — each purchase is licensed for personal use by you and anyone on your immediate hosting team (co-host, property manager, cleaner). You're welcome to share the files with people who work directly on your property. Please don't resell or distribute them publicly. If you're a property manager looking to use these tools across multiple clients, please contact us about a team license.

💳 Refunds & Guarantee
What's your refund policy?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all products. If you've genuinely used the tools for a full month and don't feel they were worth the price, email us at hello@tryhostkit.com with "Refund Request" in the subject line and we'll process a full refund — no forms, no questions asked.

Our guarantee is real. We'd rather refund you than have a dissatisfied customer — no forms, no back-and-forth.
How long does a refund take to process?

Once we initiate the refund through Gumroad, it typically appears on your card within 5–10 business days depending on your bank. We process all refund requests within 24 hours of receiving your email.

📧 Account & Newsletter
How do I unsubscribe from the HostKit newsletter?

Every email we send contains an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it and you'll be removed immediately. We use Kit (formerly ConvertKit) and unsubscribes are instant and permanent unless you re-subscribe. Your purchase access through Gumroad is completely separate from the newsletter.

I signed up for the newsletter but never received the free checklist. What happened?

A few things to check:

  • Check your spam/promotions folder — our welcome email sometimes lands there on first send.
  • Add hello@tryhostkit.com to your contacts and then try the sign-up form again.
  • Make sure there were no typos in your email address when you signed up.

If none of those work, email us at hello@tryhostkit.com and we'll send it to you directly.

Do you share or sell my email address?

Never. Your email address is used only to send you the HostKit newsletter and product updates. We don't sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.

How often do you send emails?

After your welcome sequence (3 emails over the first week), we send one newsletter email per week. We never send daily emails or promotional blasts. Every email we send is either educational content or a relevant product announcement — never spam.

Still have a question?

We're a small team and we actually read every email. Typical response time is under 4 hours on weekdays.
