HOW IT WORKS
Setup to checkout

Onboard your property
Add rooms, photos, rates, house rules. We generate your public listing at openstays.in/state/district/town/your-property and a WhatsApp link for guests.
STEP 02
Share your booking link
Add your booking link to your website, social profiles and WhatsApp. Connect online payments or accept UPI directly.
STEP 03
Auto/manual confirmation
You can configure instant booking with online payment gateway integration. You can also use UPI and manually confirm the booking after payment verification.
DASHBOARD

Your command center for every booking. View, manage, modify and track all reservations in real time, from confirmed stays and pending requests to check-ins.
The dashboard flags every action that needs you and stays out of the way otherwise.

CONFIGURATIONS
Inventory, rates & more
Full control over what you sell, how much you charge and how you optimize revenue.

- Form C flag for foreign travellers.
- Easy export in register format as needed by Government authorities.
TESTIMONIAL
“I used to list only on Airbnb because taking direct bookings needed a lot of effort and time. OpenStays has made it easy for me to take direct bookings and store guest ID.”

✦ INTRODUCTORY OFFER
OUR COMMITMENT
Zero commission. We never touch your money.
The subscription & usage charges are how we make money.
Not by skimming your bookings. Not by holding your guest’s money.
- You decide how your property accepts money – online or offline UPI.
- OpenStays invoices its subscription and usage charges. It does not hold guest funds or settle property payouts.
- Your property is responsible for issuing accommodation invoices to guests.
Questions, answered
What is the renewal cost in subsequent years?
Your renewal price will be same as the first year price, provided you renew before the subscription expires. We will notify you over email but we do not auto renew.
Once your subscription expires, it will be treated at par with new subscription and new pricing may apply.
What features are available today or coming later?
The booking engine and reservation system are live. WhatsApp AI and iCal calendar sync are live. Google Free Booking Links, mobile apps and voice AI are planned; release dates have not been announced.
How are guest payments handled?
You pick the payment mode per property, online payment gateway, your direct UPI ID or on-arrival cash.
You can also configure full payment, partial payment, or pay at property.
OpenStays is never in the funds path; the guest pays you directly.
What’s a WhatsApp communication credit and what happens after the free ones?
Each outgoing WhatsApp message, including AI replies, uses 1 credit. Incoming messages are free and purchased credits never expire. WhatsApp AI is live. View plans and credits.
Can I use OpenStays alongside other OTAs?
Yes. Use your OpenStays booking page alongside OTA listings. WhatsApp AI is live; voice AI is planned.
We do not import any reservation data from other OTAs. You are free to add those reservations manually and attributing the source for reporting purposes.
We also offer iCal calendar sync, supported by many OTAs, to exchange blocked dates. Updates depend on each platform’s refresh schedule and are not instant; check availability before confirming a booking. See how it works.
How long does onboarding take?
Allow about 15 minutes for an initial listing when your property details are ready. Photos, room types, rates and integrations can take longer. Payment-provider verification is a separate step.
