Connecting Guesty to Staylonger

You'll need:

• A Guesty login with access to Distribution settings.
• Your Guesty master account email (found under Account → Settings → Company info — shown in Part 3).
• An email address for your Staylonger host account.

1. In Guesty, go to Marketing and sales → Distribution. Find Staylonger in the channel directory and open it.

   

2. On the Staylonger channel page, click Connect to Staylonger (top right).

   

3. Follow the connection wizard: verify your account and set your cancellation policy for the listings you're about to connect.

   

4. Select the listings you want to connect. You can start with one and connect more later.

   

5. Click Done. Listings show as "pending" until the connection completes on the Staylonger side.

   

Open a new tab, go to staylonger.com.au, click Log in, then register as a partner host. Booking notifications will be sent to this email address.

1. Once signed in, click Add Your First Property.

   

2. Choose Guesty as your property management system.

   

3. Enter your Guesty master account email. You can find it in Guesty under Account → Settings → Company info, in the contact details for billing section.

   

4. Click Connect Account. Your connected Guesty listings appear — select the ones to bring across and click Import Properties.

   

5. Imported listings are marked accordingly. As you connect more listings in Guesty over time, they'll appear here automatically — just import them the same way.

   

Staylonger pulls your rates directly from Guesty, including any long-stay discounts you've configured there. Discounts you set on Staylonger are applied on top of the Guesty rate, and only affect Staylonger — no other channel.

1. Go to Properties, expand your property with the arrow on the left, and click View Calendar.
2. Nominate discount percentages for 30, 60, 90+ day stays and click Submit.

   

3. Optionally add seasonal rules to cap discounts over peak periods — for example, a maximum discount of 5% over December.

   

Tip: To apply the same discounts across multiple properties at once, use the Update a Group tab on the Properties page.

1. Scroll to the bottom of the calendar page and click Preview your property to see your live listing — photos, description and rates from Guesty, plus automatically generated local-area information (schools, transport and other details relevant to longer stays).

   

2. Imported listings start in Draft. When you're happy with how everything presents, switch the toggle on the Properties page to Published to make the listing live.

   

You can see the connection status and re-open the import screen at any time from Integrations in the Staylonger dashboard.

• Your Staylonger contact will book a merchandising session to work through pricing and discount strategy before your listings go live.
• A test booking is placed with you before launch to confirm everything flows end-to-end.
• Minimum stay on Staylonger is 30 nights — it won't accept shorter bookings.
• Your property's map location comes from the latitude/longitude in Guesty. If the street shown on the preview looks wrong, check the pin position on your Guesty listing.
• Booking notifications are sent to your Staylonger account email.

If anything doesn't look right — a property missing from the import list, rates not appearing, or a connection error — reply to your onboarding email or contact the Staylonger team and we'll walk it through with you on a quick call.
