Stay Direct
Commission-free booking calendar for your rental site
Cabins, apartments and holiday rentals get a booking calendar on their own Wix site. Guests see the full price and pay a deposit through your checkout, and you keep the commission. Seasons, minimum stays, extras and iCal sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO.
Hi, I'm the maker of Stay Direct (full disclosure: I also run the studio behind it, Kayabyte). It's a booking app for Wix sites, built for people who rent out cabins, apartments or a few rooms and want guests to book on their own site instead of paying commission on a marketplace.
Why I built it: owners of small rentals on Wix kept asking in the Wix forum for things like enforced minimum stays and a single calendar that also blocks nights booked on Airbnb or Booking.com. Stay Direct covers those: seasons, minimum stays, cleaning fees, deposits, extras, and iCal sync with your other channels. Guests see the full price before they pay, and payment goes through your Wix checkout.
What the Free plan covers: 1 property, 5 online bookings a month and 1 synced calendar. Paid plans start at $8.29 a month billed yearly. Taking online payments on Wix needs a Wix Premium plan with a payment provider.
What it doesn't do: it is not a channel manager. Sync is iCal only (dates, not prices), so it blocks nights but doesn't push rates or listings to other sites. If you need that, Wix's own hotel app is the better fit, and I wrote a plain comparison here: https://kayabyte.dev/guides/wix-hotels-hotelrunner-limits?s=ot-ph-guide
I'd love to hear what's missing for the way you take bookings, or what's confusing in the setup. Questions are welcome here or at support@kayabyte.dev.
