Question 1

How does the free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Sign up, set up your property, and start accepting bookings. Your first 5 reservations are completely free with all features. After that, pick an annual plan — $19/year for one property or $35/year for up to five.

Question 2

Do I need a website to use StaySlot?

Accepted Answer

Yes — StaySlot provides a booking widget that you embed into your existing website. We don't create a website for you. If you have a simple page (even a one-page site on WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace), that's enough.

Question 3

How do guests pay me?

Accepted Answer

You choose: credit/debit cards via Stripe, QR code payments, or direct bank transfer. All money goes straight to your account. StaySlot never touches your payments and takes no commission.

Question 4

I'm already on Booking.com / Airbnb. Why do I need this?

Accepted Answer

For the bookings you can get without paying 15-20% commission. Use StaySlot for direct inquiries, repeat guests, or visitors from your own website. Calendar sync via iCal keeps everything in sync so you won't get double bookings.

Question 5

What if I have more than 5 properties?

Accepted Answer

Contact us at support@stayslot.com and we'll set up a custom plan for you.

Question 6

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. If you cancel, you keep access until your annual plan expires.

Question 7

Is there a free booking widget for rental websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes. StaySlot offers a free plan that includes 5 reservations with all features — no credit card required. After that, paid plans start at just $19/year (not per month). There are no commissions on any plan.

Question 8

What is the cheapest booking system for a vacation rental?

Accepted Answer

StaySlot is one of the most affordable booking solutions available. It starts free (5 bookings), then costs $19/year for one property or $35/year for up to five. Unlike most competitors that charge $10-50/month, StaySlot charges per year. There are zero commissions on any plan.

Question 9

How can I avoid Airbnb and Booking.com commissions on direct bookings?

Accepted Answer

Add a booking widget to your own website so guests can book and pay you directly. StaySlot provides an embeddable widget that works on any website. You keep your platform listings for visibility but take direct bookings commission-free. Calendar sync via iCal prevents double bookings.

Question 10

What is the best booking widget for WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?

Accepted Answer

StaySlot works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, and any website that supports HTML. You paste a single line of code and the booking calendar appears on your page. No plugins or extensions needed. Setup takes about 5 minutes.

Question 11

Do I need expensive hotel software for a small cabin or cottage rental?

Accepted Answer

No. Most hotel/property management software is designed for large operations and costs $50-200+/month. If you have 1-10 properties and just need guests to book and pay through your website, StaySlot does exactly that for $19-35/year with no commissions.
