Getting Started
Welcome to OnSeason
What is OnSeason? OnSeason is an all-in-one platform for vacation rental property managers to build AI-powered direct booking websites with a high-conversion booking engine, get discovered through AI-driven search distribution, and cross-sell properties with other managers through its distribution network — reducing reliance on OTAs. You manage your properties in your PMS, and OnSeason handles the booking experience. Key Concepts - Workspace — Your organisation on OnSeason, where you manage listings, bookings, and team - Booking Engine — Your public-facing site where guests search and book properties - Network — A marketplace of 50k+ properties you can import to expand your inventory - PMS (Property Management System) — The software you already use to manage properties, rates, and availability How the Platform Works Your PMS is the starting point. Here's how everything connects: - Your PMS — You manage properties, rates, and availability as you always have - Calry sync — Calry connects your PMS to OnSeason and keeps data in sync automatically - OnSeason listings — Your properties appear in your dashboard, ready to configure - Booking engine — Guests browse, search, and book on your branded site - Stripe payments — Secure payment processing handles the money, straight to your bank account Getting Started - Create your workspace — After signing up, you'll create a workspace with a unique slug (e.g., your company name). - Connect your PMS — Connect your property management system to our dashboard to automatically sync properties. - Set up payments — Connect Stripe to start accepting direct bookings. - Set up your direct booking — Enable listings, build your website with a booking engine, and start accepting guests. You need an active subscription to accept bookings. The first 7 days are free. How Staycy and OnSeason work together Staycy is the AI website builder where you create and customise your direct-booking website with prompts. OnSeason is the account and dashboard behind it - where you connect your PMS, manage your properties, set up payments with Stripe, and configure domains and billing. One account gives you access to both.
Enhancing with Staycy
What is Staycy? Staycy is an AI-powered website builder that creates conversion-focused direct booking websites. The website can include different page types depending on what you ask for in your prompt. How to Access Staycy Only workspace Owners and Admins can access Staycy. Team members with the Member or Viewer role won't see the option. - Open Staycy — In the dashboard, on the left sidebar, click Website, then click Launch Staycy (this button is also available on your Dashboard home page). Staycy opens, and you're logged in automatically via single sign-on. You can also access https://www.staycy.ai/ directly. - Build your website — Use Staycy's AI tools to design your website. Preview mode lets you experiment freely before going live. - Publish when ready — Happy with your site? Publish it to make it live. An active OnSeason subscription is required to publish. Preview mode is available even without an active subscription, so you can design and experiment at no cost. Publishing requires an active subscription. See the interactive walkthrough: If your OnSeason subscription lapses, your Staycy website will be unpublished. Your booking engine itself remains accessible — only the Staycy website layer is affected. Examples of pages Staycy can create - Homepage - Search page - Listing pages - Location pages - About page - Contact page - FAQ pages - Blog - Booking-focused pages If you want a standalone booking engine, you still create a Staycy website. The difference is that you ask Staycy to include only the booking-focused pages, such as search and listing pages, and exclude pages like the homepage, about, contact, and blog. How prompting works in Staycy Prompting is how you tell Staycy what to create or change. A prompt is a written instruction. You can use prompts to create the first version of your website and to keep editing it afterwards. Good prompts are clear about - What your business does - Where your properties are located - Who your guests are - What your brand should feel like - Which pages you want - Which pages you do not want - Which languages you need - How booking pages should look and work The clearer your prompt, the better Staycy can create the result you want.
