Getting connected
How to connect Guesty to your website.
You will need a website, HomeRunner and administrator access to your Guesty account. WordPress and custom-coded sites are live today; Squarespace, Webflow and Wix are in early access.
Connecting Guesty is self-serve, with no HomeRunner fees until you are live.
Check your plan
Guesty Pro only. The connection uses Guesty’s Open API and Booking Engine API; confirm your plan includes them before connecting.
Create both API credential sets
In Guesty, create an Open API application and a Booking Engine API key. HomeRunner needs both Client ID and Client Secret pairs.
Connect HomeRunner
In your HomeRunner dashboard, add a Guesty connection and enter both pairs; properties, rates and availability then sync.
Configure and test checkout
Guesty Pay needs no extra keys; Stripe needs each connected account’s publishable key. Then run a test booking and check it in Guesty.
Bookings & payments
Choose the checkout that fits your setup.
Guests pay on your site with Guesty Pay or a Stripe account connected in Guesty. Guesty connections also support external payment gateways.
On WordPress, Guesty Hosted Checkout is an optional, site-wide Toolkit module: guests pay on Guesty’s hosted page with their quote pre-loaded. Explore the Guesty checkout option.
Planning to offer extras? Extras are Guesty Additional Fees enabled as upsells, once Guesty support and the HomeRunner team activate the feature. Follow the Guesty add-ons and upsells guide.
Choosing your approach
Guesty’s own tools or your own website?
HomeRunner is another route for teams on Guesty that want a connected booking engine on the website they already own.
Your website + HomeRunner
A fit when your own website is central to your strategy: design and content stay with your team, checkout runs on your domain, and Guesty handles operations.
Guesty’s native tools
A fit when you want one vendor and nothing to host. A Guesty Website redirects guests to the Guesty Booking Engine to complete the transaction.
No. Guesty remains your property management system; HomeRunner adds the booking engine to your website.
Is this Guesty’s own WordPress plugin?
HomeRunner is a booking engine connected to Guesty Pro through the Open API and Booking Engine API. On WordPress it installs as a plugin; custom-coded sites are live too, with Squarespace, Webflow and Wix in early access.
Does it work with Guesty Lite?
Guesty Pro only. The connection uses Guesty’s Open API and Booking Engine API; confirm your plan includes them before connecting.
With Guesty, do guests always stay on my domain?
Yes, by default: guests search, get a quote and pay on your site. Only the optional Guesty Hosted Checkout module, a WordPress Toolkit module, moves payment to Guesty’s hosted page.
Can I connect Guesty to my existing website?
Yes. Connecting Guesty needs no rebuild: HomeRunner works with the site and design you have.
Can I offer extras such as early check-in?
Yes, as Guesty Additional Fees enabled as upsells, once Guesty support and the HomeRunner team activate the feature. Follow the add-ons setup guide.
