HomeRunner for Streamline VRS
Streamline VRS WordPress integration for direct bookings
HomeRunner connects Streamline VRS to the website you already have. Bring in your properties, photos, availability and quotes, let guests book through your site, and keep running your operations in Streamline VRS. Bookings made on your site are created as reservations in Streamline VRS.
The integration
Keep your operations in Streamline VRS.
HomeRunner adds a booking engine to your own website; it does not replace Streamline VRS. Streamline VRS stays the source of truth for rates, availability and bookings.
Webhook updates are not available with the Streamline VRS connection, so HomeRunner fetches your data on a schedule: an availability or pricing change can take up to an hour to reach your website. You can also sync the Streamline VRS connection manually.
- Listings & photos
- Your properties, photos and property custom fields come from your Streamline VRS account.

Choosing your approach
Streamline VRS’s own websites or a website you own?
Streamline VRS offers its own Direct Booking Websites with built-in payment processing and hosts vacation rental websites. Its Open API also lets clients build their own website or give a partner access to build one. HomeRunner connects Streamline VRS to a site you choose: your existing site, a studio template or a custom build with your own design partner.
- Your website + HomeRunner
- A fit when you want to run your own website in place of a Streamline-built or Streamline-hosted site. Your design, content workflow and web partner stay as they are, with properties, availability, quotes, bookings and upsells connected through HomeRunner while Streamline VRS keeps property operations. Streamline VRS data refreshes on a scheduled sync, not by webhook.
- Streamline VRS’s native tools
- Worth considering when you prefer a website that communicates natively with the Streamline PMS, or one package: Streamline One brings websites, digital marketing and payments together under one contract and one invoice.
HomeRunner pricing
A flat subscription.
No HomeRunner booking percentage.
HomeRunner charges a flat monthly fee by the number of Streamline VRS listings live on your site, not a percentage of your bookings.
Streamline VRS charges, payment-provider fees and any separately purchased website services still apply.

On WordPress it installs as a plugin; custom-coded sites are live too, with Squarespace, Webflow and Wix in early access.
