Airbnb HostsProperty ManagersHoliday LetsServiced ApartmentsHow 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

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.
One Platform, Everything You Need
CheckinGuide does more than entry instructions. Protect your property, earn extra revenue, and handle guest issues, all from one platform.
Guest Verify
Collect security deposits, verify ID with AI, get rental agreements signed. All from one link. Camera-only ID capture from just £0.35.
Pre-Arrival Upsells
Sell early check-in, welcome hampers, and more through a branded portal. Low platform fee. Apple Pay and Google Pay supported.
Issue Reporting
Guests report problems directly through your guide. You get instant notifications with photos and descriptions. Always free.
