# Toolkit: Guesty Hosted Checkout

> Routes every booking on your site through Guesty's secure hosted payment page instead of the on-site checkout, so payment is collected on Guesty's own page while your booking component stays exactly the same.

---

## What it does

For sites connected to Guesty, this module switches all properties to use **Guesty's hosted checkout**. Guests still pick dates and guests in your booking component as usual, but when they click *Book Now* they are handed off to Guesty's secure payment page with their quote pre-loaded. The completed reservation syncs back to HomeRunner Central automatically.

Nothing about the front-of-funnel experience changes. The only difference is where the final payment is taken.

## How it works

1. The guest picks dates and guests in the booking component (unchanged).
2. The component creates a quote through HomeRunner Central (unchanged).
3. The guest clicks **Book Now**, and the component requests a checkout URL from Central.
4. The guest is redirected to Guesty's hosted payment page with their quote pre-loaded.
5. Payment is collected securely on Guesty's page, and the reservation syncs back to Central.

## How to turn it on

### 1. Enable the module

Open the **HomeRunner Toolkit Hub** (the **Toolkit** screen under the **HomeRunner** menu in your WordPress admin) and switch on **Guesty Hosted Checkout**.

That is the entire setup. When enabled, every property on the site uses Guesty's hosted checkout. Switch the module off to restore the original on-site checkout behavior.

## Settings

| Setting | What it controls |
| --- | --- |
| **Guesty Hosted Checkout toggle** | The only control this module has. Once switched on in the Toolkit Hub, it applies site-wide to every property immediately, with nothing else to configure. |

## Tips

- This module is for Guesty-connected sites. It changes where payment is taken, so confirm your Guesty hosted-checkout settings (branding, payment methods, terms) are configured the way you want before turning it on.
- The toggle is all-or-nothing across the site. There is no per-property override.
- Because the booking component itself is unchanged, you can keep using companion modules like [Rate Plan Control](/docs/toolkit-rate-plan-control/) and [Payment Split Notice](/docs/toolkit-payment-split-notice/) alongside it.
