Why CraftedStays + StayFi

Your next booking is already in your guest list.

Guests who have stayed with you are the cheapest bookings you will ever win, and email is the one marketing channel you own outright. This integration makes sure every guest email, from your website or your WiFi, ends up in one place, working toward the next stay.

Capture on the website, not just the WiFi.

StayFi captures guests on-property. Your CraftedStays site meets them earlier: while they browse, plan, and come back to your brand. With the native integration, sign-ups from your website flow into StayFi alongside the on-property captures.

One guest list, no exports.

No CSV downloads, no manual uploads, no lists drifting out of sync. When a guest submits their email on your site, it lands in your StayFi account automatically.

Pairs with CraftedStays, closes the loop.

StayFi’s campaigns need somewhere to send guests. Yours point back to your own domain, where the booking is commission-free and the guest experience is your brand from search to checkout.

What's what

The two pieces, plainly.

What is CraftedStays?

CraftedStays is a direct booking website platform for short-term rental property managers. It builds fast, conversion-focused websites on your own domain, connects to your PMS for live listings, pricing, and availability, and structures every page the way search engines and AI engines actually cite. CraftedStays also publishes original research on how AI engines choose which vacation rental sites to name, and builds those findings into the platform.

What is StayFi?

StayFi is a guest WiFi and email marketing tool for short-term rental property managers. It captures guest emails on-property through branded WiFi and sends marketing campaigns. Connected to CraftedStays, the email sign-ups a property manager’s direct booking website collects sync into StayFi automatically, so website leads and on-property guests live in one list, and campaigns send guests back to book direct on the manager’s CraftedStays site.

When this pairing fits

Three signals you're ready to own your guest list.

CraftedStays gives you the direct booking site. StayFi turns the guests it captures into the next stay. If any of these resonate, the pairing fits.

Signal 1

Your market runs on repeat guests.

Beach weeks, ski seasons, family traditions. If the same guests come back to your market every year, the question is whether they come back to you.

  • Every guest email captured, on-site and on-property
  • Campaigns timed to your market's booking windows
  • Repeat bookings land commission-free on your domain
Best fit for growth-minded property managers
Signal 2

You want a marketing channel you own.

OTA rankings shift and ad costs climb. Your email list is the one audience nobody can take away or charge you to reach.

  • One combined guest list in your StayFi account
  • Your guests, your list, your brand, with no OTA in between
  • Website sign-ups included automatically, not exported
Signal 3

You're done moving CSVs between tools.

An email captured on your website should show up where campaigns get sent, without you touching a spreadsheet.

  • Native sync from your CraftedStays site to StayFi
  • No exports, no uploads, no lists out of sync
  • Set it up once in your CraftedStays dashboard

A CraftedStays site captures email sign-ups as guests browse, plan, and come back to your brand.
