HomeRunner for Guesty Pro
Guesty WordPress integration for direct bookings
HomeRunner connects Guesty Pro to your WordPress website. Bring in your listings, photos, rates and availability, let guests book through your site, and manage those reservations in Guesty. Your booking website and your PMS, working together.
The integration
Keep Guesty at the center of your operations.
HomeRunner is a WordPress booking engine, not a replacement for Guesty. Your property data comes from Guesty, while HomeRunner presents it on your direct booking website.
Guesty webhook updates keep connected data in sync. Some features, such as add-ons, follow their own scheduled update cycle.
- Listings & photos
- Property listings and photography come from your Guesty account.
- Rates & availability
- Guesty supplies pricing and calendar availability for your connected properties.
- Reservations
- For the on-site booking flow, reservations appear in Guesty with the
BE-APIsource. - Guest reviews
- Review import from Guesty is supported.
- Offers & discounts
- Coupon validation and weekly and monthly discounts are supported.
Your direct booking website
Guesty data. Your WordPress experience.
Build a website around your properties, destinations and brand, with a connected booking engine behind it.
Build beyond the listing
Add destination guides, local recommendations and campaign pages in WordPress. Connect useful content to relevant properties, so your site helps guests decide where to stay.
Choose your design route
Work with your existing WordPress site, start from a studio template, or plan a custom design. Website development is a separate service from the HomeRunner subscription.
WordPress gives your team a familiar place to manage content and SEO tools. Search visibility still depends on your content, technical implementation and ongoing work—not on installing a plugin alone.
Getting connected
How to connect Guesty to WordPress.
You will need a WordPress website, HomeRunner and administrator access to your Guesty account.
Read the Guesty connection guideSetup time depends on your Guesty account, website and payment readiness. Confirm requirements before scheduling your launch.
Confirm your account
The documented connection is for Guesty Pro. If you use Guesty Lite, ask the HomeRunner team to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
Create both API credential sets
In Guesty, create an Open API application and Booking Engine API credentials. Each has its own Client ID and Client Secret; the connection needs both pairs.
Connect HomeRunner
Follow the setup guide to enter the credentials and connect your Guesty account. Review the imported property content, rates and availability on your WordPress site.
Configure and test checkout
Complete the payment setup for your account. Before launch, test the guest booking journey and verify the resulting reservation in Guesty.
Bookings & payments
Choose the checkout that fits your setup.
HomeRunner supports direct checkout with Guesty Pay or connected Stripe, subject to the setup required for your account. Confirm your payment configuration before you launch.
An optional Guesty-hosted checkout is also available as a site-wide setting. With this option, guests go to Guesty to complete payment. Explore the Guesty checkout option.
Planning to offer extras? Guesty Additional Fees require support activation on the Guesty side and activation in HomeRunner. Follow the Guesty add-ons and upsells guide before adding them to your booking flow.
Choosing your approach
Guesty’s own tools or WordPress?
Guesty offers its own Booking Engine and website products. HomeRunner is another route for teams that want a connected booking engine within WordPress. The right choice depends on how you want to build and manage your site.

HomeRunner pricing
A flat subscription.
No booking percentage.
HomeRunner charges a monthly subscription based on your listing tier, not a percentage of your bookings.
