Shared Amenities, One Community: How Booking Should Actually Work

Unitify treats shared amenities as a property-wide resource, not a per-building one.

Payment is built into the same booking flow, so paid amenities like a private parking spot or a pay-per-use coworking desk get charged the moment the slot is booked, not chased down afterward.
