OTAs take up to 18% of every booking.

You pay for the property, the maintenance, the cleaning, the guest experience. Then OTAs take a cut of every reservation. On a $300/night stay, that’s $50+ per night going to a platform that just sends you a notification.

The Solution

Take bookings directly.

Your direct booking website gives guests a way to book without the OTA middleman. Same properties. Same experience. No platform fees. You keep the revenue you earned.

Every booking builds your guest directory, so you can bring them back commission-free forever.

Frequently asked questions.

How quickly can I launch my direct booking website?

Most hosts launch within 15-30 minutes. If you have an Airbnb listing, you can import your properties directly and your site will be ready to take bookings immediately. Customizing your brand, colors, and domain takes a bit longer but isn’t required to start.

Can I use my own domain name?

Yes. You can connect any domain you own (like staywithus.com) to your Futurestay website. We provide simple instructions for updating your DNS settings, or our support team can walk you through it. SSL certificates are included at no extra cost.

What are the payment processing fees?

Payment processing is handled by Stripe at their standard rate (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction in the US). This goes directly to Stripe, not Futurestay. There are no additional booking fees, platform fees, or commissions from Futurestay on direct bookings.

Will my direct booking calendar sync with Airbnb?

Yes. Futurestay connects directly to Airbnb via their official API, so calendar updates happen in real-time (not the 15-minute delay you get with iCal). When someone books on your direct site, Airbnb availability updates within seconds. You can also sync with VRBO, Booking.com, and other platforms via iCal.

How do I get guests to book direct instead of on Airbnb?

There are several proven strategies: offer a small discount for direct bookings (you can afford it since you’re not paying OTA fees), include your website URL in your Airbnb listing house rules, add your website to your Google Business profile, use your direct site link on social media, and email past guests with offers to book direct next time. Many hosts start by converting repeat guests and grow from there.

Is there a limit to how many properties I can list?

No. List as many properties as you manage. Pricing is based on your total property count, but there’s no hard limit. Whether you have 1 property or 100, your direct booking website can showcase all of them.

Does the website work on mobile?

Yes. All Futurestay websites are mobile-first, meaning they’re designed for phones first and then scale up for tablets and desktops. Over 60% of vacation rental searches happen on mobile, so a great mobile experience is critical for conversions.

Can I try Futurestay before committing?

Yes. Futurestay offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features. Build your website, connect your Stripe account, and take real bookings during your trial. If it’s not for you, cancel anytime with no obligation.
