Staylonger is Australia's platform for furnished mid-term rentals, with a minimum stay of 30 nights. This guide walks you through connecting Guesty to Staylonger, importing your listings, and setting long-stay discounts.

The whole process takes around 15–20 minutes. Rates, availability, descriptions and photos sync continuously from Guesty once connected.

## Before you start

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.

## Part 1 — Connect the Staylonger channel in Guesty

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

## Part 4 — Set your long-stay discounts

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.

   ![Nominate your discounts for longer stays.](https://staylonger.com.au/images/guesty/12-nominate-discounts.png)
3. Optionally add seasonal rules to cap discounts over peak periods — for example, a maximum discount of 5% over December.

   ![Seasonal rules — set a maximum discount for chosen dates.](https://staylonger.com.au/images/guesty/13-seasonal-rules.png)

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

## Part 5 — Preview and publish

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.

## Managing the connection later

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

## What happens next

- 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.

## Need a hand?

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.
