# Commission-free direct booking engine

Your own booking page, your own domain, zero commission.

**In short:** Your own booking page with multi-room checkout, deposits and card holds via Stripe, bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz or bank gateways, guest self-cancellation and the same no-double-booking guarantee.

Updated October 2026

## What Direct Booking Engine does

- **Your own booking page** — guests search, price and book directly; bookings use the same path a clerk uses, so the no-double-booking guarantee holds.
- **Multi-room booking** — guests can book several rooms in one checkout.
- **Tentative until confirmed** — unconfirmed web bookings lapse and the room returns to sale automatically.
- **Email confirmation** — the guest confirms their email; unopened bookings release sooner.
- **Deposits** — nothing, first night, a percentage or a fixed amount, paid on the gateway’s own page and posted to the folio automatically.
- **Card holds for no-shows** — freeze the amount and take it only if the guest never arrives.
- **Refunds, whole or partial** — sent back through the gateway, manager permission required.
- **Guest self-cancellation** — an emailed link releases the room up to a cut-off you set.
- **Payment gateways** — Stripe, bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz and bank gateways are integrated; every gateway starts in sandbox and must be tested before it goes live.
- **No card data at bedsKey** — every payment happens on the gateway’s own page.

Nagad, SSLCommerz and bank gateways (Brac Bank, City Bank, DBBL) are available alongside Stripe and bKash. bKash go-live depends on the hotel’s own merchant account.
