What does Staido cost and do I pay a service fee per booking?

No monthly fees and no setup costs. You only pay 2.9% per direct booking through the widget. For comparison: Airbnb and Booking.com easily charge 15% to 16% per booking. Payments arrive directly in your own Stripe account, we never hold your money.

Do I need technical knowledge to install the widget?

No. You paste one line of code on your site, as easy as embedding a YouTube video. It works on any website that accepts HTML, such as WordPress, Wix and Webflow. Can't place it yourself? We help you with it for free during setup. Most hosts are live within an hour.

Which payment methods can my guests use?

You decide which payment methods you accept through your own Stripe account, for example iDEAL | Wero and credit card. So you're not tied to a fixed list and choose what fits your guests.

Can I customize the widget to my own branding?

Yes. You choose your own colors, font and logo, so the widget blends seamlessly into your website and feels like part of your own brand instead of an external platform.

Does the widget work for multiple properties at once?

Yes. You manage multiple properties from one dashboard and can show them individually or grouped in an overview. Guests see all available properties and book the one they want directly.

What happens to guests who drop off during booking?

Guests who don't complete their booking automatically receive a reminder with a personal link to still book directly with you. That way you don't lose bookings that would otherwise end up on an expensive platform. Remarketing is included in Staido: you only pay a small extra fee on the bookings you actually win back through it, nothing on your regular direct bookings.

Does my guest need to create an account to book?

No. Guests book and pay directly, without an account or registration. That lowers the threshold and means fewer drop-offs than on the big platforms.

Frequently asked questions

A booking widget is a piece of booking software you place on your own website. Guests see your availability, pick their dates, and book and pay directly with you, without going through a platform like Airbnb or Booking.com. You keep the contact, the data and the margin yourself.
