Self Check-In

Implement a self check-in flow allowing guests to provide details, agree to house rules, and optionally upload thier ID prior to arrival. Need this to reduce front-desk bottlenecks.

    Self Check-In is live 🎉 Open any booking, hit 'Check-in', and you'll see the new popup with a QR code, a copy link, and an email button. Guests fill in their details and agree to your house rules before they arrive. This was one of the most-requested things on here - thank you all. Tell us what's missing and we'll iterate.

    We've started building this. You'll be able to send the check-in link three ways - QR code, copy-paste, or straight to the guest's email from the check-in popup.

    This is the one we've wanted to build for a while and you've pushed it to the top. It's going on the roadmap for Q2. We're going to do it as a web link (no app needed, Tariq) with an optional ID upload and the house-rules step Yuki asked for. Keep the feedback coming while we design it.
