Guesty for Pros has a two stage onboarding. You'll first provide API credentials from your Guesty Portal to the CraftedStays Dashboard. Then, you'll copy/paste your Guesty booking engine URL to Craftedstays. The steps below walk you through this process. This should take less than 5 minutes to set up.
Connect Guesty for Property Sync
On your Dashboard, Select "Connect to Guesty" - Alternatively, you can go to settings and connect to Guesty there.
You'll be asked to provide your Guesty Booking Engine API Client ID and Client Secret.
Go to your Guesty Dashboard and go to Growth, The Distributions. Select Guesty Booking Engine API (third card on the screen below)
Copy the "Client Secret" and the "Client ID" and paste it in the CraftedStays Dashboard from above.
Update your Booking Engine URL - go back to the distributions page and Select Guesty Booking Engine (second card on the screen below)
Copy your Booking Engine URL
