How it works

CheckinGuide replaces PDF welcome books, WhatsApp screenshots and Airbnb messages with one branded guest link. You build a digital guide once, guests open it on any phone with no download, and the same link handles ID verification, security deposits and paid upsells automatically.

  • One link per property, no app to download
  • Works on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo & direct bookings
  • Automates ID, deposits and upsells
  • Live in under 15 minutes

What you get out of the box

A branded guest portal on your own URL, a drag-and-drop guide builder, automated ID verification, refundable security deposits via Stripe, and paid upsells such as early check-in and late check-out, all connected to your booking channel.

  • Branded guest portal with your logo, colours and domain
  • Drag-and-drop guide builder (photos, video, maps, PDFs)
  • Automated ID verification and audit trail
  • Refundable Stripe security-deposit holds
  • Paid upsells with automatic Stripe payout

The five-step guest flow

After a booking, CheckinGuide sends the guest a link, verifies their ID, holds a security deposit, unlocks the full guide with check-in instructions, and offers relevant upsells. You see every step in one dashboard.

  • 1. Guest receives branded link (email / WhatsApp / OTA)
  • 2. ID verification (Smart ID or Stripe Identity)
  • 3. Security deposit authorised on their card
  • 4. Full guide unlocks: check-in, WiFi, house rules, area tips
  • 5. Upsells offered (early check-in, late check-out, cleans)

Timelines, how long each step takes

The guest journey is designed to complete in minutes, not days. ID verification averages under two minutes, deposit authorisation is instant, and the guide is available immediately after both steps pass.

  • Host onboarding: ~15 minutes for first guide
  • Guest ID check: under 2 minutes on average
  • Deposit authorisation: instant (Stripe pre-auth)
  • Guide access: immediate after ID + deposit

Built with security in mind

Your guest guides are private by default

We built CheckinGuide so that your property information stays between you and your guests. No search engines, no public listings, no snooping - just a simple, private link you control.

Hidden from search engines

Your guest guides are not indexed by Google or any search engine. Nobody can stumble across them online - they simply don't appear in search results.

Only accessible via your shared link

Only guests you share the link with can view your guide. There's no public directory, no listing, and no way for anyone to browse and find it.

Change your link anytime

Had a bad guest? Simply update your username or guide link and the old one stops working instantly. You're always in control of who has access.

Username browsing blocked

Even if someone guesses your username, they'll only see a generic "contact your host" page. Your properties and guides stay completely hidden.
