How It Works

Live in under an hour

1

We build your site

We create a stunning property website that showcases your place better than any listing platform. Tailored design, your brand, your domain.

2

We embed the engine

A single script tag adds a booking widget to your site. Real-time availability, instant pricing, and secure payment — all in one seamless flow.

3

Guests book direct

Guests find your site, pick their dates, and pay you directly via Stripe. You get a confirmation email instantly. No middleman, no commission.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Real-time availability

Your calendar updates instantly when a booking is made. Guests only see dates that are genuinely available.

Secure payments via Stripe

Credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. PCI-compliant payments processed by Stripe go directly to your bank account.

Automatic confirmations

Both you and your guest receive a beautifully formatted confirmation email the moment a booking is made.

No platform lock-in

Your website, your domain, your guests. Keep listing on Airbnb if you want — use Direct Booking for the bookings that come through your own site.

Instant setup

No complex onboarding. We handle the technical setup and give you a dashboard where you can manage bookings and block dates.

Save thousands per year

Airbnb takes 15–20% of every booking. With Direct Booking, you pay a flat monthly fee and standard Stripe processing. That's it.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing

$25 /month
+ standard Stripe processing (1.75% + 30¢)

Built by a host, for hosts

Direct Booking is an Australian-built booking platform designed specifically for independent accommodation hosts. We believe property owners shouldn't have to give up a fifth of their revenue just to take a reservation.

We build beautiful property websites with integrated direct booking, so your guests can find you, see your place, and pay you — without the platform taking a cut.
