Two products.
The full guest experience.
Lodgify
Lodgify is an all-in-one vacation rental management software for getting guests to your door through direct bookings, OTAs, and everywhere in between.
How your Lodgify account works with Happy Guest:
1. Your Lodgify property listings sync automatically. No setup needed.
2. Happy Guest pulls in your confirmed bookings to generate personalized reservation links for each guest
3. Door codes are delivered at the right time based on the reservation
One link. No app. Always OTA compliant. Identical on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and direct.
Happy Guest
Happy Guest picks up where Lodgify leaves off, automating the guest experience from booking through after checkout. Your guest does three things, Happy Guest does the rest.
In under two minutes, on their phone, no app required:
1. Signs your rental agreement and house rules
2. Uploads a government-issued ID
3. Covers protection by paying the deposit, authorizing the hold, or accepting damage waiver, whichever you require
Then the door code releases. No completion, no code. Everything else runs itself on every reservation.
HAPPY GUEST WORKS WITH EVERY
OTA & PMSBuilt to work with Lodgify
Lodgify is a vacation rental platform known for helping hosts build a direct-booking business. Their website builder lets you launch a professional, bookable site with zero technical experience. Hosts regularly report that 40% of their reservations come through it.
Beyond direct bookings, Lodgify is a full PMS with a channel manager, unified inbox, dynamic pricing, task management, and payment processing.
Lodgify has everything you need to manage your bookings. Layer in Happy Guest, and that same structure and simplicity continues for your guests after booking.
What Happy Guest users are saying
"Using Happy Guest has been a great addition to my workflow. It's made the process of getting guests to sign rental agreements seamless and professional. What I appreciate most is how clearly everything is explained to guests!"
"Happy Guest got me started when I knew absolutely nothing about the business. The mentoring and support alone is infinitely valuable. The guest portal is far more robust than a protection plan!"
"Happy Guest has been amazing for our business. I would recommend them to every PM I could."
LODGIFY AND HAPPY GUEST WORK TOGETHERLodgify runs your properties. Happy Guest runs your guests.
Your PMS keeps the reservation. Calendars, rates, channels, payments, owners — untouched.
Happy Guest takes the guest. The rental agreement. The ID verification. The deposit or damage waiver. The upsells. The guidebook. The messages. And the moment the door code releases.
Two jobs, two tools, working together. Nothing to migrate.
