Lodgify direct booking website
Keep Lodgify. Get a website worthy of it.
Lodgify handles your calendar, channels and payments. VacayDirect builds the site guests see, and connects the two.
The short answer
VacayDirect builds a custom direct booking website that works with Lodgify. The site uses Lodgify's own booking widget or booking engine link, so rates and availability are always live and payments go straight to your Lodgify account. You keep Lodgify for operations; VacayDirect handles design, local content and search visibility.
What Lodgify is good at
Lodgify is known for an all-in-one bundle of channel manager, booking engine and website builder. It's most often used by owners who want one tool for everything when they first go direct. None of that needs to change.
How the connection works
Lodgify includes a template-based website builder and a booking widget that can be embedded on any site. We use that same booking flow inside a site designed around your properties. There's no second calendar to keep in step and no new payment account.
- Guests see live availability and real prices
- Checkout, payment and the rental agreement run through Lodgify
- Your Airbnb and Vrbo calendars stay in sync exactly as they do today
- If you change booking software later, we swap the widget and the site stays
Why not just use Lodgify's own website?
You can, and for some owners it's enough. Booking software companies are rightly focused on booking software. We're focused on the other half: a site that looks like your place rather than a template, and a growing library of local pages that gives Google and AI assistants a reason to send people to it.
Questions
What owners ask us
Is VacayDirect an official Lodgify partner?
No. We're independent. We connect using the public widgets and booking links that Lodgify provides to all of its customers.
Will my rates and availability be live?
Yes. They're rendered by Lodgify's widget, reading from your Lodgify account in real time.
Do I pay VacayDirect a booking commission?
No. VacayDirect is a flat $99 or $199 a month. Your Lodgify subscription and card processing are separate and unchanged.
