Online check-in

Online check-in,done before arrival.

With BnBFlow, guest registration happens online: the day before arrival, the guest gets a link, fills in their details, photographs their ID and signs on their phone, in their own language. You get the form as a PDF, archived with the booking, while the guest register and tourist tax update by themselves.

01How it works

Five steps. None of them done by you.

You set the rules once. Each step triggers the next, for every booking, from any channel.

  1. On booking

    The booking comes in

    From Airbnb, Booking.com, your website or added by hand.

  2. The day before

    The link goes out

    On the connected channels: WhatsApp, the booking platform’s messages or email, with a reminder if the guest doesn’t complete it.

  3. In 2 minutes

    The guest completes it

    Details, a photo of the ID and a signature, on the phone.

  4. Instantly

    The form is ready

    Signed PDF archived with the booking; register and tax up to date.

  5. On arrival day

    Access goes out

    The code and stay page; optionally, only after the form is complete.

02What the guest sees

The form, on the guest’s phone. Four screens, two minutes.

This is online check-in from the guest’s side: open the link, fill it in step by step and send the form. No app, no account, in their own language.

03Compliance

Form, register, tax. Up to date, no paper.

The data the law requires is collected once, from the guest, and goes where it needs to by itself. That’s how we work in every country: compliance-ready.

How do I do guest registration online?

With BnBFlow, the guest automatically receives a check-in link, fills in the details required for the registration form, photographs their ID and signs on their phone. The form is generated as a PDF and archived with the booking, with the ID and signature attached.

Does the guest need to install an app?

No. Check-in opens from the link, in the phone’s browser, with no app and no account, and takes about two minutes. Then the guest has the stay page, also in a link, with the code, Wi-Fi and extras.

Does it work for Airbnb and Booking.com bookings too?

Yes. The link goes out for every booking, wherever it comes from: Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Expedia and many others, your direct booking website or bookings added by hand.

What if the guest doesn’t complete it?

They get an automatic reminder. You see the status of every check-in and can resend the link in one click. You can also release access only once the form is complete.

Which plan includes online check-in?

All of them: Professional, Standard and Essential. Smart locks, WhatsApp and the guest register are optional modules you add only if you need them.

Everything starts with a check-in
