The Resly Integration That Turns Every Reservation into a Rich Guest Experience
Resly runs your trust accounting, channels and owner statements — built for Australian management rights, resorts and holiday homes. BetterSTR adds the richer guest-experience layer on top: a guidebook for every room, Android TV displays in every unit, WiFi QR codes, guest verification, upsells and SMS — all driven live by your Resly rooms and reservations.
By integrating BetterSTR with Resly, you can:
Grab your Resly API key and Account ID (your Resly property identifier) and paste them into BetterSTR under Integrations → Resly. No key yet? Email integrations@resly.com.au for Open API access.
BetterSTR pulls your rooms, room types and reservations automatically — and registers Resly webhooks for you, so new bookings, changes and cancellations arrive in near real-time.
Every reservation gets its own guidebook link — on the guest's phone and on the in-room Android TV — with WiFi QR codes, check-in details, upsells and reservation-specific shortcodes.
Resly stores WiFi credentials, check-in/check-out instructions, key numbers and carparks per room — BetterSTR syncs them all, so every unit's guide is automatically correct.
Webhooks register automatically when you connect — new reservations, updates and cancellations reach BetterSTR within moments, with an hourly sync as backstop.
Show each guest's personalised guide on the TV in their unit — welcome screen, house info and local recommendations, driven by their Resly reservation.
Guides can display booking-specific details from Resly — reservation reference, arrival window, booking channel, key number, carpark, even outstanding balance.
Send each guest their unique guidebook link automatically, timed around the arrival and departure dates synced from Resly.
Verify guest identity before arrival and offer local activities, late check-out and extras through the guide — earning commissions along the way.
Resly's room/room-type model maps straight onto BetterSTR: every unit gets its own guidebook and TV display, whether it's Unit 202 in a complex or a standalone beach house.
Self-service guides reduce repetitive guest questions by 70%. Guests find WiFi, check-in details and house info without calling reception.
Well-informed guests leave better reviews. Clear guides and a welcoming TV screen set expectations from the moment they walk in.
Earn commissions on local experiences and sell upsells like early check-in directly through your digital guides.
Join hosts who pair Resly's trust accounting and channel management with BetterSTR's digital guidebooks, TV displays and guest automation.

Everything you need to connect Resly and get your guidebooks live.
To connect, open the Integrations page in the BetterSTR members area, choose Resly and paste your API Key and Resly Account ID (your Account ID is your Resly property identifier, e.g. resly-resort). BetterSTR exchanges them securely with Resly for an access token, then syncs your rooms and room types — bedrooms, bathrooms, occupancy, photos and amenities, plus the WiFi details, check-in/check-out instructions, key numbers and carparks you keep against each unit — along with your reservations, including guest name, email, phone, party size, arrival and departure windows, and booking channel.
Real-time updates are automatic: BetterSTR registers Resly webhooks for reservations, rooms and room types when you connect — secured with a unique callback URL and per-account credentials — so changes arrive within moments, with an hourly sync as backstop. Nothing to copy or configure on the Resly side.
Yes. All BetterSTR integrations, including Resly, are included in the free plan with unlimited properties and guidebooks. You only pay for optional add-ons like SMS, WiFi marketing or a custom domain.
In the BetterSTR members area, open Integrations, choose Resly and paste your API Key and Resly Account ID. BetterSTR validates them with Resly, then syncs your rooms and reservations automatically — webhooks are registered for you.
Your Account ID is your Resly property identifier (the short name in your Resly URLs). If you don't have an API key yet, email Resly at integrations@resly.com.au and ask for Open API access for your account. The BetterSTR side is free on every plan.
Your rooms and room types (bedrooms, bathrooms, occupancy, photos, amenities) plus the per-unit WiFi network and password, check-in/check-out instructions, key number and carpark — and all reservations, with guest contact details, stay dates, arrival/departure windows, party size, booking channel and balances. Changes arrive in near real-time via automatically-registered webhooks, with an hourly sync as backstop.
Yes. BetterSTR syncs your whole room list and automatically leaves long-term tenancy units out of the guest-guide pool. Holiday units each get their own guidebook and TV display; you control which are active inside BetterSTR.
No — BetterSTR complements Resly. Resly handles your trust accounting, channel management and owner statements; BetterSTR delivers the guest-facing guidebook, in-room TV displays, WiFi QR codes and guest automation on top.
