How to sign up as an Accommodation user on BeCause
To use BeCause to show your sustainability certification and share it with different OTAs you need to sign up as a User first.
Please follow the step-by-step guide and sign up with your credentials, your own first + last name and your work email. Remember that you are not signing up on behalf of your accomodation, but as a personal user to claim your accommodation profile.
You can sign up as a user without claiming a company profile if your certifying body has not yet imported the data to the BeCause platform.
If your certifying body has imported the data, there will be a profile with the valid certification attached ready to claim.
Create your user and claim your company in the sign-up process
1. Sign up with your work e-mail here.
2. Click "Continue" when you have filled out your basic information.
3. Verify your e-mail. You will receive an e-mail with a link to verify your new user. Please remember to check your spam filter 🗑️.
4. Fill out "Tell us about yourself". Please keep in mind that this step is only to create a personal user and not a company profile (e.g. a profile for a specific hotel). This will be created later 😊.
5. Click "Continue".
6. Select "Accommodation or a hotel company".
7. If we have any hotel property profiles in our system that match your work email, you will now be able to claim your hotel properties automatically in the sign-up process 🙌
You can claim MULTIPLE hotel properties💡.
8. Select your hotel properties and click "Claim".
9. If you cannot find your hotel property you can create a user profile without claiming any company by doing the following step 9a ⬇️ :
9a. You can click "Skip this step"(claiming can always be done later) and create a user profile without claiming.
This probably means that your certifying body has not yet imported the data on your certification to BeCause. Please contact your certifying body and have them confirm the import of data.
10. You have successfully created your user and signed up on BeCause and are all set and ready to get started 👏.
