A direct booking website for your Hostaway listings

Paste a Hostaway account ID and API key and your listings, photos and nightly prices appear on your own site. Guests pick dates and pay into your Stripe account, with no booking fee from PageHub.

Start your site

The short answer

  • Make an API key in Hostaway, paste its account ID and key into PageHub, and your listings sync into your site.
  • Photos, descriptions, amenities, check-in times, nightly prices and open dates come across and refresh every hour.
  • Guests book on your site and pay into your own Stripe account. No booking fee from PageHub. Stripe still charges its processing fees.
  • A booking made on your site closes those dates in Hostaway (in beta).

Connect Hostaway

  1. In Hostaway, open Settings, then Hostaway API, and create a key. If it asks for a partner, pick the general Hostaway API option.
  2. Copy the account ID and the key. Hostaway shows the key once.
  3. In PageHub, open Apps, then Hostaway, and paste both. Add your booking link if you have one.
  4. PageHub checks them with one call, makes a Properties collection that refreshes every hour, and runs the first sync.
  5. Tick the box to draft a Stays page and a Stay page. Preview them.

The key is stored encrypted. Make a new one in Hostaway if you lose it.

Take bookings on the site

Until you turn on booking, the Book button sends guests to your booking link. Turning it on lets guests book and pay on the home's page, into your Stripe account.

No booking fee from PageHub. Stripe still charges its processing fees.

  • Charge now, or hold the card. Hold keeps the guest's card on hold until you approve the request. Decline it and the hold is released. Charge now takes payment when they book.
  • Longer-stay discounts. Type a weekly and a monthly percent on a home. The guest sees what they save on the booking card, and checkout names the discount in the line.
  • Promo codes. Make a code in Shop, under Checkout & shipping. It lives on your Stripe account, and guests type it in Have a code? on the booking card.
  • Cancellation policy. Pick flexible, moderate, firm or strict for all homes, or set one per home. When a guest asks to cancel, the refund screen suggests an amount from the policy. You press Refund, and you can change the amount.
  • Fees and tax. Each home carries a cleaning fee and an optional lodging tax rate. The guest sees the nights, the fee and the tax as separate lines before they pay.

Guests get an email when they book, when you hold their request and when you decline it. You can edit all three.

Keeping dates in step

  • From Hostaway to your site. Dates and prices refresh every hour, and Sync now reads them at once.
  • From your site to Hostaway. When a guest books on your site, PageHub closes those nights in Hostaway day by day, waits two minutes, and reads them again to check. If it can't, it emails you. This is in beta.
  • When a sync fails. A failed sync is shown as a problem, never as "synced". After about an hour of failures you get an email.

Everything in the Rentals pack

$49 a month up to 5 homes, $99 up to 25, $199 up to 100. Your site is included, and PageHub takes no booking fee. Stripe still charges its processing fees.

  • Bookings paid into your Stripe

    Guests pick dates on each home's calendar and pay into your own Stripe account. Charge at once, or hold the card until you approve.

  • Part payment

    Guests pay part now and agree to the balance on the same card. You press Charge balance when it's due, and PageHub reminds you.

  • Refundable security deposit

    Place a hold on the guest's card before check-in, then release it or keep part of it from your Orders screen.

  • Rental agreements signed online

    Guests type their name and agree before they pay. Each order keeps the exact text they signed.

  • Discounts, promo codes and cancellation

    Weekly and monthly discounts, promo codes on your Stripe account, and a cancellation policy that suggests each refund.

  • Guest list and book-again emails

    Every guest who books is saved. Email past guests who agreed to offers, with a promo code for their next stay.

  • Abandoned-booking email

    A guest who agreed to offers and left checkout gets one email about an hour later, with their dates filled in.

  • One calendar for every home

    See every home's bookings on one screen, and close the same dates on several homes at once.

  • Sync alerts

    Homes sync from Hospitable, Hostaway, Guesty or Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com calendar links. If a sync keeps failing, PageHub emails you.

  • A page for every home and area

    Each home gets its own page, title, share image and vacation rental structured data, plus area and guide pages for your sitemap.

  • Purchase tracking

    Each booking sends a purchase event to Google Analytics 4 and the Meta pixel, with the booking's value and no guest details.

  • Set it up by asking your AI

    Connect PageHub to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. The Set up direct bookings skill connects Stripe, brings in your homes and checks every fee and policy.
