Product Update: A More Seamless Booking Experience

By /

At CraftedStays, we’re always working to improve how short-term rental hosts get more direct bookings. Our latest update enhances the guest booking experience by replacing third-party booking widgets with a fully integrated booking system.

While this update benefits OwnerRez users, it’s part of a larger effort to optimize direct bookings across multiple property management system (PMS) integrations.

A Smarter Booking Flow

We’ve removed the old OwnerRez booking widgets and built a custom booking component that blends seamlessly into your website.

What This Means for You

  • Consistent Look & Feel – Your site now has a smooth, unified design.
  • Instant Price Quotes – Guests see pricing updates immediately if they enter dates on a search page.
  • Better Mobile Experience – The booking process is now fully optimized for mobile and desktop users.
  • Stronger Analytics – Improved tracking gives better insights into guest behavior and conversion rates.
  • Easier Setup – New users don’t need to copy and paste widget codes—everything is built-in.

For OwnerRez Users: How to Enable the Update

If you use OwnerRez, switching to the new system is quick and easy:

  1. Go to Settings → OwnerRez Settings.
  2. Turn on “Use CraftedStays Booking Component.”
  3. Test your booking process to ensure everything works as expected.

Once enabled, the system automatically updates to provide a more streamlined booking flow.
