StayOye

Direct booking website

Your own booking page. Zero commission.

StayOye's direct booking website gives each property its own public booking page with live prices and availability, so guests can book directly without any booking-site commission. Guests pay at the property or by bank transfer with a deposit you approve, and bookings land straight in your StayOye reservations. It is included on the Growth plan (Rs 5,000/month) and above.

Half your guests already find you on Instagram or ask on WhatsApp. Send them a link where they can see your rooms, pick dates and book — on your terms, with no commission to anyone.

How it works

How a direct booking works

Same rooms, same rates as your front desk — and every direct booking closes those nights on your synced channels too.

1

The guest opens your link

They see live prices and availability — the same rooms and rates as your front desk.

2

They pick rooms and dates

And enter their name and mobile number.

3

They choose how to pay

At the property, or by bank transfer using your bank details.

4

They confirm

Pay at property: the guest confirms the booking through a verification link sent by email or SMS. Unverified bookings are released automatically after an hour.

Bank transfer: the guest uploads proof of payment. You check your bank account and approve the deposit. Unpaid bookings are cancelled after your deadline.

5

The booking lands in Reservations

With the source “Booking engine”, on the calendar, and it closes those nights on your synced channels too.

Settings

Your rules, your money

Only rate plans you tick “Sell on the booking engine” appear — for example Room only, not your corporate rate. Bank details come from your brand settings.

Rs 0 commission on every direct booking

On a Rs 30,000 stay, a booking site charging 15% takes Rs 4,500. On your own booking page, you keep it. (Illustrative example.)

Good to know

Guests can't pay by card online yet — they pay at the property or by bank transfer.

Only approve a bank-transfer deposit once the money is in your account.

You can prepare the booking page settings on any plan; it goes live on Growth and above.

FAQ

Questions about direct bookings

How can my guest house take online bookings without paying commission?

Use your own booking page. With StayOye, each property gets a public booking page with live prices and availability. Guests book directly and you pay no commission. It's on the Growth plan (Rs 5,000/month) and above.

Can guests pay online by card?

No. Guests pay at the property or by bank transfer, and you approve the transfer proof before the booking is confirmed.

How do I stop fake online bookings?

Pay-at-property bookings stay on hold until the guest confirms through a link sent by email or SMS. If they don't confirm within an hour, the booking is released automatically.

Will a direct booking also close the room on Airbnb and Booking.com?

Yes, if you use StayOye's channel manager. A direct booking is a normal reservation, so it closes those nights through your calendar sync.

Can I put the booking page on my own website?

Yes. Add the booking widget to up to 10 websites per brand, or simply link to your booking page.
