Planning a Group Trip?
We Know the Pain.

  • "Who hasn't paid yet?"

    Chasing friends and family for their share is awkward and exhausting.

  • "Which room am I in?"

    Endless texts and spreadsheets trying to coordinate 20+ people's sleeping arrangements.

  • "When do we need to be there?"

    Group chats exploding with the same questions over and over.

  • "Who's bringing the cooler?"

    No one remembers what they volunteered for. Duplicates and missing items galore.

The Guest Portal Solves All of It

  • Everyone pays their own share directly
  • Interactive room assignment map
  • Shared itinerary everyone can access
  • Task lists with claimed items
  • Voting polls for group decisions
  • Transportation coordination

Frequently Asked Questions

How does payment splitting work for group vacation rentals?

You create custom "allocations" for each paying party (families, couples, individuals). Each allocation gets a unique payment link sent directly to them. They pay their portion through secure Stripe checkout, and you can track who's paid in real-time. No more being the middleman collecting money from everyone.

Can guests assign themselves to rooms?

The trip organizer (or property manager) handles room assignments using our drag-and-drop interface. Once assigned, guests see their room assignment in their portal along with details about the room (bed type, capacity, amenities). This prevents conflicts and confusion.

Is the Guest Portal good for destination weddings?

Absolutely! The portal includes wedding-specific features like wedding party roles (Bride, Groom, Bridesmaid, Groomsman), vendor management, event timelines (rehearsal, ceremony, reception), and a digital guestbook for wedding wishes and photos.

Do guests need to create an account to use the portal?

No! Each guest receives a unique, secure link that gives them access to the portal. No account creation, no passwords to remember, no app to download. Just click and access.

How do group polls and voting work?

Create polls for group decisions like "Which day should we do the wine tour?" or "What's for dinner Friday night?" You can set up single choice, multiple choice, or ranked voting. Results can be visible in real-time or hidden until voting closes, and you can make votes anonymous if preferred.
