Four practical jobs in daily hotel operations.
Last double room on Friday
Two guests book almost at the same time. STRYK checks again before confirmation, only one booking goes through, and the second guest receives a clear message.
A regular books direct this time
Instead of using the OTA, the regular books on your website, with the direct benefit you offer only there.
Deposit at booking
The guest pays the deposit online. STRYK automatically collects the balance at the cancellation deadline.
Booking at midnight
The booking comes in overnight. In the morning, reception sees it in the calendar with category, extras and payment status.
Common questions: Direct booking
What is a direct booking with STRYK?+
A reservation on the property’s own STRYK booking page that enters the PMS with confirmed price, guest, rate, extras and policies.
Do I need a second system?+
No. Room categories, photos, rates, availability, extras and policies come from the central STRYK areas.
Which web address does my property receive?+
The property chooses an available slug, creating its own address under staystryk.com. Normal changes are deliberately limited so links and senders remain stable.
Can I preview before publishing?+
Yes. Internal draft preview shows design, content, rooms, prices and guest journey without opening an unpublished public domain or creating a booking.
When may the booking page go live?+
As soon as the property address, rooms, direct rate, pricing, availability, policies and payment path have been fully reviewed.
Which rooms are sold?+
Only published categories with active physical rooms, complete occupancy, real photos and approved guest copy.
Where does availability come from?+
From actual STRYK inventory. Bookings, blocks and inactive rooms reduce sellable capacity; the studio does not invent a second number.
Which rate is offered?+
At least one active rate plan approved for direct sales must match category, validity, occupancy and payment method.
How is the final total calculated?+
STRYK recalculates it immediately before confirmation using the rate, travel dates, guest count, pricing rules, discount, extras and tourist tax.
How does STRYK prevent overbooking?+
Immediately before saving, free capacity, sales caps and restrictions are checked again. Only a still-valid stay is confirmed.
What happens on double-click or reload?+
The booking request is recognised within the property by a unique key. The same checkout therefore does not silently create a second reservation.
Can guests book extras?+
Yes. Guests see only approved extras with a clear unit and price. Their selection is assigned directly to the stay and included in the total.
Must guests accept policies?+
Yes. Policies applying to the rate and booking are shown before checkout and acceptance is stored with the process.
Which payment methods are possible?+
Only methods activated by the property and approved for the public journey appear, such as pay at property or a fully configured online payment flow.
Does a successful test already mean live payments?+
No. The property activates online payments only after a complete review and its own approval. Guests see only the payment path that has actually been enabled.
How does the booking enter the PMS?+
After confirmation, the booking is ready in STRYK with guest, stay, room category, rate, price, extras and payment state.
Does the guest receive confirmation?+
The confirmed booking journey uses email copy maintained per event and active guest language. A delivery failure may not appear as delivered.
Is direct booking mobile optimised?+
Yes. Search, room choice, extras, policies and checkout are designed for small screens and tested as a complete mobile journey before launch.
Can I take the page offline again?+
Yes. Unpublish removes the public live state without deleting publication history or central master data.
Can I link booking from my website?+
Yes. Once your booking page is approved, link the direct-booking journey from your website. Guests go straight to your currently available rooms and rates.
Which languages does the guest see?+
The booking page is available in the 18 STRYK languages; the hotel enables which ones its guests see. Room descriptions, terms and emails should be fully maintained in every enabled language.
Does direct booking replace OTAs?+
Not necessarily. It adds your own sales channel without portal commission alongside Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb and other connected portals. Availability, rates and reservations from all channels run on the same room inventory.
Does direct booking cost extra?+
Booking Engine and the direct-booking journey are included in the STRYK core price. Only online-paid direct bookings add variable payment-provider and card costs plus a 1.9% STRYK platform levy. Without integrated online payment, the platform levy does not apply.
Could Direct booking work for your hotel?
14 days free. All STRYK core apps included. No setup fee; optional AI modules are separate.
