How the Hostaway connection works

To connect, open the Integrations page in BetterSTR, choose Hostaway and enter your numeric Account ID and API Secret Key (from Hostaway → Settings → Hostaway API). BetterSTR validates them against Hostaway, then syncs your listings and reservations — each booking then gets its own personalised guidebook with the guest’s name and check-in / check-out times. New properties added in Hostaway appear automatically on the next sync.
