N° 01 — The arithmetic

Save ₹42K a month per property.

Three properties, half the bookings direct, no commission. The math is a little embarrassing.

N° 02 — The proposition

On arithmetic.

Airbnb keeps somewhere between 14% and 20% of every booking. On a ₹50,000 stay that’s ₹7,000 walking quietly out the door.

N° 03 — Contents

What’s inside.

Eight chapters, no padding. Built specifically for the way Indian hosts already work — Razorpay, WhatsApp, GSTIN, UPI, iCal — and not the way an American SaaS imagines we work.

I

Your website, in ten minutes.

Paste your Airbnb URL. We pull photos, beds, amenities, the rooms description, the location, the rules. You add prices. You go live.

II

Calendars that never fight.

Two-way iCal sync across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Agoda, MakeMyTrip. One block, every platform. No double-bookings, no apologetic emails.

III

Razorpay, deeply integrated.

UPI, cards, netbanking, EMI. Money lands in your account directly. GST invoices generated automatically — including the right CGST/SGST/IGST split.

IV

Themes, written like a book.

Nine distinct designs, each with a point of view. Heritage homes get Heritage. Goa villas get Tropical. None of them look like Squarespace.

V

Your domain, your inbox.

Connect a domain you own, or buy one through us with auto-SSL. Email confirmations arrive from you, not from a SaaS subdomain.

VI

WhatsApp, where India lives.

Booking confirmations, check-in instructions, review requests — all through WhatsApp. Because nobody opens email in Goa.

VII

Pixels for the patient.

Paste your Meta Pixel and GA4 IDs. Retarget last month's window-shoppers with a single line of text. Run conversion ads from week two.

VIII

A guild of hosts.

Connect with verified hosts. With a handshake, list each other's properties on your sites with an agreed uplift — Razorpay Route splits the payout for you.

N° 04 — A choice of dress

Nine themes. Pick one.

Switch between themes with one click. Customise the primary colour to match your living room. Or your brand. Or your mood.

N° 05 — Marginalia

“I built four direct-booking sites in Squarespace and abandoned three. Makestays gave me five in an afternoon — and the calendars actually sync.”
