FOR HOST
List your place. Keep your rate.
Why should booking a place to stay cost more than the place itself? DirectStay started with that question.What would change if every booking paid you in full? On DirectStay, guests pay you directly and DirectStay takes no commission. You pay a flat subscription instead.
Where a booking goes
- GuestGuest pays the full price
- PowerPay DirectPowerPay Direct processes it
- Your merchant accountfull nightly rate
Whose guest is it?
On most platforms, the guest belongs to the platform. On DirectStay, payments go to your own merchant account, you talk to guests directly, and the relationship is yours to keep.
What happens when something goes wrong?
Every guest verifies their identity before they can message you. Every booking locks your cancellation policy and carries a signed Guest Stay Agreement. When you need the record, it's there.
What does it cost?
One subscription, sized to how many properties you list: Freedom Essentials for one, Growth Accelerator for two to five, Elite Multiplier for more than five. There's no commission on any booking.
