Let’s face it: photos aren’t enough anymore.
🔍 Renters want to see the space in detail—before they ever schedule a showing.
Embedding a virtual tour:
Before you log into AppFolio, gather the following:
Go to your AppFolio dashboard and find the property listing you want to update.
Click:
Properties → [Select Property] → Edit Listing
Scroll to the Marketing or Media section.
Look for a field labeled:
Virtual Tour URL or Tour Link
If you don’t see it, double-check your user permissions or contact AppFolio support.
Paste the full URL from your tour provider (e.g., CloudPano or Matterport) into the field. Example:
https://www.cloudpano.com/tours/example-tour-id
⚠️ Make sure the link is publicly viewable so renters can access it from the listing.
Click Save ✅
Now visit the public version of your listing. You should see a “Virtual Tour” button—often near the photo carousel or media section.
🎉 Success! You’ve embedded your virtual tour.
