One of the most frequent questions we hear from vacation rental managers is how StayFi can guarantee that vacation rental guests use real email addresses when logging through the captive WiFi splash page. Historically, we found that 85% – 90% of emails entered were genuine and did not bounce when emailed. However, in order to get the most out of StayFi, we were determined to find a way to get to 98%+ valid emails.
Instead of forcing guests to go through a cumbersome process of navigating to their email inbox to confirm via a link in an email before gaining access to the internet, we searched for a seamless solution that could quickly and accurately validate emails – that is how we found ZeroBounce.
Now, short-term rental & vacation rental property managers can enable ZeroBounce live on their branded splash pages, so guests must enter a valid email prior to getting access to the internet. In the rare cases where ZeroBounce can not determine the validity of an email, we allow the guest online, as we err on the side of letting guests online to prevent any potential guest complaints.
