Direct Booking Engine

Take direct bookings.
Keep the commission.

Every time a guest books through Booking.com or Airbnb, you give away 15–18% in commission. A booking engine on your own website means guests book directly with you, and that 15–18% stays in your pocket, on every single booking.

How it works

From embed to booking in four steps

1

Embed it on your website

Paste a short snippet into your site and the booking widget appears instantly. No developer needed. Works on any website platform.

2

Guest selects dates and room

Your live availability is always shown. The guest picks their room, enters their details, and completes the booking in minutes.

3

Booking syncs to your calendar

The moment a guest books, your 1Day calendar updates and all connected OTA channels are blocked. Zero risk of double bookings.

4

Guest pays you directly

Payment goes straight to you using the methods you already accept. No middleman, no OTA taking a cut. The full amount is yours.

Local payments

Accept the payment methods
your guests already use

The booking engine works with whatever payment methods your hotel already accepts: credit cards, bank transfer, and local e-wallets. 1Day is never in the payment flow. The guest pays you directly and you keep 100%. That flexibility extends to local e-wallets like GCash and Maya as one example of the methods your guests may already prefer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a developer to set it up?

No. You add a short code snippet to your existing website, similar to adding a map widget or chat bubble. Most hoteliers have it live within an hour.

What happens if I get a booking through an OTA at the same time?

The calendar syncs in real time. If a guest books via Booking.com, that room is immediately blocked on your booking engine so double bookings cannot happen.

Does 1Day process payments or take a percentage?

No. 1Day is not in the payment flow at all. Guests pay you directly using whatever method you accept: GCash, Maya, bank transfer, credit card, or cash on arrival. You keep 100%.

Can I set my own pricing and restrictions?

Yes. Rates, minimum stays, blackout dates, and promotional rates are all managed from your existing 1Day dashboard and flow through to the booking engine automatically.

Will guests know they're getting the best price?

Yes. You can display a best-rate guarantee on the booking engine to give guests confidence that booking direct is better than going through an OTA.
