Pro booking widget
Accept direct bookings and guest payments from your website
Add a booking form to any page with a simple embed, keep Airbnb and VRBO in the mix, and give guests one clear path from available dates to inquiry, secure payment after approval, or card payment in the widget. Show pricing when it helps, or keep it hidden when you prefer to quote manually. RentalBeam is built for hosts who want direct-booking functionality without a full PMS or custom-coded checkout.

Quiet proof
Guests see familiar brands. Hosts keep one RentalBeam workflow.
Use RentalBeam as the booking layer on your website while keeping Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com in the mix. When you enable guest card payments on Pro, Stripe can show familiar card brands plus Apple Pay and Google Pay where the guest device, browser, region, and account setup support them.
Supports many major cards and wallets on Pro
Turn on guest payments when you are ready. Card brands and wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay appear where Stripe, device, browser, and region support them.
Secure card processing
Hosts use RentalBeam day to day. Stripe supports card processing and payouts underneath the same host workflow.
Third-party names and logos are used for identification only and remain the property of their respective owners.
Direct bookings in 3 calm steps
Sync your availability, paste the booking widget into your site, and keep guests on your website from dates to inquiry, secure pay-later, or payment on Pro.
1
Connect your availability
Add your Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or other iCal sources so guests only request genuinely open dates.
2
Choose pricing and payment flow
Show pricing or keep it hidden, then set rates, seasonal overrides, fees, discounts, payment steps, custom fields, and booking rules.
3
Go live on your own website
Paste the booking form on your website and start receiving reservation requests, secure pay-later follow-up, or guest card payments from one calmer direct-booking flow.
See the guest flow
Let guests stay on your site from open dates to the booking flow you choose
The booking form stays simple on purpose: guests choose dates, review the stay, and continue in the flow you choose. Keep it inquiry-first, approve first and send a secure payment link later, or let guests pay in the widget. Pricing can stay visible or hidden.

Booking-ready foundation
The synced calendar that powers direct bookings
Built on synced availability
The booking widget works because the calendar underneath it stays accurate
RentalBeam builds the booking widget on a live calendar foundation that stays aligned with Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and your own manual date controls.
If a date is blocked elsewhere, it should stay blocked here too.
Works with Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other iCal-friendly setups
Manual blocks, prep time, and booking windows still apply
Guest payments can be added without changing the guest-facing flow
Why hosts add it
A cleaner direct-booking path for independent hosts
RentalBeam keeps the direct-booking story simple: your own website, your own guest relationship, and one calmer workflow from request to review to payment - whether you collect later or in the widget.
Own the booking relationship on your website
When a guest finds you directly, RentalBeam gives them a clear booking path on your own website instead of sending that relationship somewhere else.
Keep availability honest
The booking form uses the same synced iCal availability and manual date controls as your calendar, so guests only request genuinely open dates.
Review each stay with context
Every request lands with the stay details, guest information, and message so you can confirm, decline, or send a secure payment link from one calm workflow.
What Pro adds
The booking controls that matter once guests start booking direct
Both Pro variants include the same booking workflow. Hosts can show pricing or keep it hidden, stay inquiry-first, send a secure payment page after approval, or collect Stripe-powered card and wallet payments in the widget where available. The difference is the booking fee model, not the host or guest experience.

Synced proof
If a stay is blocked elsewhere, it stays blocked here too
The booking form uses the same iCal sync foundation as the availability calendar, so direct requests reflect the same genuinely open dates your guests already see elsewhere.

Why it works
What RentalBeam keeps together once direct bookings go live
RentalBeam gives independent hosts one direct-booking workflow that stays connected from open dates to host review, secure pay-later requests, invoice PDFs, and optional guest payments.
Keep availability, rules, and booking flow aligned
The booking widget uses the same synced availability, pricing visibility, rules, and date controls as the rest of your RentalBeam setup.
Choose the guest path that fits how you host
Stay inquiry-first, approve first and send a secure payment link later, or let guests pay at booking time when your site is ready for faster checkout.
Keep host review and follow-up in one place
Requests, guest details, payment links, invoice PDFs, payment steps, and calendar-specific settings stay connected to the same RentalBeam workflow.
Protect margin without complicating the guest flow
Both Pro variants use the same booking experience, so you can choose the fee model that fits your volume without rebuilding the page.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about vacation rental booking widgets
Yes. RentalBeam Pro is sold publicly in two variants: Standard and No application fee. Both variants include the exact same booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, and booking rules. The only difference is the booking fee model on hosted guest card payments. The No application fee variant removes the RentalBeam application fee entirely, so hosts only pay normal card-processing fees from Stripe.
It depends on which public Pro variant you pick. Standard Pro adds a small RentalBeam application fee on hosted guest card payments. No application fee Pro removes the RentalBeam application fee entirely, leaving only standard Stripe card-processing fees. Direct bookings that you collect off-platform (for example via a pay-later link or bank transfer) never incur a RentalBeam application fee on either variant. The availability calendar itself, on Free and Plus, never takes a percentage.
Yes. RentalBeam Pro includes coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, and seasonal pricing tiers. You can run promotional codes for repeat guests, configure off-season discounts, and combine them with custom fees and booking rules from the same booking form widget setup.
A booking widget is a form embedded on your own website that lets guests send reservation requests directly to you. It shows current availability, optionally displays pricing, and collects guest details in one calmer flow.
No - it works alongside them. You keep your existing listings on those platforms and add a direct booking option on your own website, so guests who find you directly have a clear path to contact and book with you.
Pricing display is optional and fully configurable. Set nightly rates, seasonal overrides, cleaning fees, pet fees, length-of-stay discounts, and coupon codes. Pricing supports a wide range of Stripe-supported presentment currencies, and you set one currency per booking form. Show pricing upfront, hide it and quote manually after the request, keep the flow inquiry-first, approve the stay and send a secure payment link later, or turn on guest card payments inside the widget when you want guests to pay online.
