Two integrations launch today, and this is the one for the direct booking crowd: if you run your website and channel manager on Lodgify, BetterSTR now connects directly — and like every BetterSTR integration, it's included in the free plan.
Paste in your Lodgify API key and BetterSTR pulls in your properties and upcoming reservations, validating your credentials instantly. Within a minute or two, every booking has its own personalised guidebook.
What actually syncs
- Properties: your listings come across with the details BetterSTR needs to build a guidebook that already knows your place.
- Reservations: guest names and contact details, stay dates and the booking channel — direct bookings from your Lodgify website included — kept current automatically. You can optionally sync historical reservations too, to power BetterSTR's SMS marketing.
Every reservation gets its own guidebook link
The moment a reservation syncs, BetterSTR generates a unique guest guidebook link for that stay — personalised to that guest, that property and those dates, with their actual check-in and check-out times. Drop the link into your Lodgify email templates once, and every future guest gets their own guide without you lifting a finger.
A natural fit for direct booking hosts
Lodgify hosts already own their guest relationship — that's the whole point of a direct booking website. BetterSTR extends that same thinking into the stay itself: your branding on the guidebook, WiFi marketing capturing every staying guest's contact details (not just the booker's), and SMS and email automation keyed off the real check-in and check-out dates. More data in your hands, more repeat bookings on your own site.
How to connect (about a minute)
- In Lodgify, open your account settings and copy your API key.
- In BetterSTR, go to Integrations → Lodgify and paste it in — BetterSTR validates it straight away.
- That's it. Your properties and reservations sync within a minute or two, and stay in sync from then on.
