GeoDirectory Booking

Directory sites often list places to stay but cannot take a reservation. GeoDirectory Booking adds that missing step. Owners of hotels, vacation rentals and other accommodations can sell bookings directly on your site, in the style of marketplaces such as Airbnb, VRBO or Booking.com. You earn a commission on each booking and can add service fees on top.

Administrators control the booking process, pricing and payment flow. Payments run through the GetPaid plugin, and owners hold their funds in a GetPaid wallet where they can request withdrawals. Each listing can hold several rooms with their own rates and availability, and owners set the rules for stays, cancellations and blocked dates. Email notifications can be tailored to your brand's voice.

Features

• Commission and service fees: Earn a commission on every booking made through your marketplace, and add service fees on top of it to build a steady income from the platform.
• Flexible payment choices: Guests can pay in full, leave a deposit, or book with no upfront payment, which gives both hosts and guests room to choose what suits them.
• Payments through GetPaid: Transactions are processed with the GetPaid plugin. Owners keep their earnings in a GetPaid wallet and can request a withdrawal whenever they need to.
• Cancellation policies: Accommodation owners pick from customizable cancellation rules, so guests see clear terms. Pending bookings without payment can also be cancelled automatically after a set time limit.
• Individual room bookings: Manage several rooms within a single listing, each with its own rates and availability. This suits hotels and properties that offer varied accommodations.
• Nightly and date-based pricing: Owners can set a standard nightly rate or enter custom prices for specific dates, which helps them respond to busy and quiet periods.
• Discounts and promotions: Support longer stay discounts, last-minute offers and early bird specials, so owners can run promotions that fit their own properties.
• Booking rules and date blocking: Set minimum and maximum stay lengths, restrict check-in and check-out days, and block dates to prevent double bookings or cover maintenance periods.
