StayFinder FAQs
What is StayFinder?
StayFinder is the book-direct search platform built by StayFi to help travelers find verified vacation rentals and book directly with hosts—without OTA fees or algorithms getting in the way.
It aggregates listings from across the internet, surfaces verified StayFi hosts first, and connects guests straight to your direct booking website. No commissions, no listings to manage, and a growing audience powered by the StayFi host community.
How do I claim my listings?
You can claim your properties directly inside your StayFi dashboard:
- Log in to your StayFi account
- Click the StayFinder tab
- Enter the URLs for your existing direct booking listings
- Confirm ownership and complete verification
Once verified, your properties appear with a trust badge and priority placement in StayFinder search results.
Note: You must have a StayFi account to claim or manage listings.
What markets is StayFinder live in?
StayFinder is launching in approximately 16 pilot markets during the Beta phase, with full global coverage planned by early 2026.
Even if your market is not yet featured, you can still add your listings now, secure early verification, and be included early as new markets roll out.
How does StayFinder get guest traffic?
StayFinder’s guest audience is built from multiple high-impact channels, including:
- StayFi’s existing guest email network of hundreds of thousands captured from host WiFi systems
- Reverse-search traffic from travelers pasting Airbnb/Vrbo URLs to find direct booking options
- Search engine visibility for book-direct travelers
- StayFinder email marketing spotlighting verified hosts and featured destinations
- The upcoming Chrome extension, which surfaces direct prices while guests browse OTA listings
Together, these channels continually drive qualified travelers seeking book-direct savings straight to StayFinder—and ultimately, to your direct booking site.
