Direct is the booking and payment layer, sold as its own product. It goes on the site you already have through one DNS record, or it ships built into a site we make for you. Property managers sell nights. Tour operators sell seats and charters. Either way the money lands in your account at booking, and the guest stays yours.
Four steps, and only one of them is ours. This is what the guest sees, and what lands on your side.
Untouched. Same design, same host. The guest clicks Book.
Live availability on your subdomain, under your brand. They pick dates and pay.
It appears in your dashboard straight away, and the calendar closes those nights everywhere.
The deposit settles into your account. We are never in the money flow.
A night in a villa and a seat on a boat are not the same transaction. The engine underneath is identical - the availability model, the pricing rules and the guest emails are not. Pick your side.
Nights, per property, across the whole portfolio. One engine covers every unit you manage, whether you own it or run it for an owner.
Two-way calendar sync with the channels you already run - Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com - or with your PMS if you have one. Guesty, Hostaway and Lodgify keep doing exactly what they do today. Direct does not replace your PMS, it gives those bookings a cheaper home.
Seasons with their own rates and minimum stays, a weekend uplift for Friday and Saturday, custom prices for holiday weeks, and weekly or monthly length-of-stay discounts. Change any of it yourself and see the next 90 nights repriced live before you save.
Deposit taken at booking with a scheduled balance, optional damage protection, and the rental agreement accepted at checkout. The deposit is in your account the moment the guest confirms - not 24 hours after check-in, not monthly.
Confirmation, payment receipt, balance-due notice and check-in details, all sent under your name from your domain. The operational layer the OTA runs for you today, running as yours.
Owners see their own property, their own calendar and their own bookings. A direct channel the next manager cannot offer them.
Seats on a fixed departure, a whole boat, a private charter, a fishing trip, a shuttle route. Several trip types can run side by side on the same engine.
Capacity held per departure, seasonal schedules and blackout dates. Private trips do not need fixed times. The guest picks a date and the pickup time they would like, pays, and you confirm - so you keep the flexibility that makes a private tour worth selling.
Per-person tiers, adult and child rates, group pricing, a flat rate for the whole charter, and paid add-ons like transport, lunch or gear. Route-based products can price by distance and show the fare once the guest picks their pickup and drop-off.
Deposit or payment in full at booking, so fuel, guides and permits are covered before the day rather than weeks after it. Cancellation and weather terms are accepted at checkout, in writing.
Confirmation, receipt, what to bring, meeting point and pickup time, and your weather policy - under your name. The details that decide whether the guest turns up in the right place at the right hour.
A paid booking can create the contact, the confirmed appointment and the won opportunity in the CRM you already use, so a direct sale looks the same in your pipeline as any other.
Both figures are illustrations, not quotes. Your real number depends on how much volume actually moves to direct and your mix of local versus international cards. We run your own numbers with you before you commit to anything.
Not a plugin bolted onto a page. A complete booking system running on your own domain, under your own brand, settling into your own account.
Live availability, a real checkout, deposit and balance schedule, minimum stay or minimum party size, and your terms accepted at the point of payment.
Stripe and PayPal work almost anywhere, and where a local provider is cheaper or better trusted in your market we integrate that instead. You are the merchant of record. The money lands in your account and we never touch the funds.
Confirmations, receipts, balance reminders and arrival details, sent from your domain under your name. Written once, in English and Spanish.
Log in and change a rate, block a date, add a property or a trip, read a booking. No ticket to us, no waiting. Owners can get their own limited view.
Availability stays true across the channels you already sell on, so a direct booking never collides with one from a platform.
Calendar sync and payment processing are checked automatically every two hours. If something stops, we know before your guests do.
The real fear about handing your bookings to a developer is losing the ability to change anything. So the dashboard is the product. Add a property, block a date, run a promo, read a booking - you, not a support ticket.
Owners can be given their own limited view - their property, their calendar, their bookings, and nothing else.
Most operators we speak to do not want a rebuild. They want the Book button to actually take money. Direct runs on a subdomain of your own domain, so nothing about your existing site has to change.
You add a single record at your domain registrar - we send you the exact line to paste. That creates booking.yourdomain.com. It stays your domain, on your registrar, in your name.
Your properties or trips, photos, pricing rules, seasons, calendars and payment account. We do the loading, not you - including pulling listings across from Airbnb if that is where they live today.
One link change on the site you already have. Everything else stays exactly as it is - same design, same host, same agency if you use one.
Building a new site with us instead? Direct is already inside it. Nothing extra to install, and the booking flow is designed into the pages rather than bolted on afterwards.
The one-time fee is scoped to your inventory - how many properties or trips need loading, how your calendars are set up, and which payment rails you need. The monthly is your choice of a fixed fee or a share of what the channel actually earns you.
Payment processing is separate and goes to your provider, not to us - the account is yours, so the rate is whatever you negotiate in your own market. Whichever monthly you pick, you are the merchant of record and every booking settles into your own account. We are never in the money flow.
WhatsApp is fastest - text or voice notes, whatever is easiest for you. We answer within an hour. No bots, no platform. A real person who lives here, will listen first, and run your own numbers before pitching anything. A cafecito beats a quote any day.
