With Lodgify, users can take advantage of property management (PM) modules, synchronize their calendars across top booking platforms (such as Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com), and drive direct bookings through a direct booking site or direct booking widget.</p>
<p>Lodgify’s most popular features include:</p>
<ul>

<p>Users can start making direct bookings through your site as soon as you install the plugin. When users click on the booking widget, they will be directed to the All Properties page, the Rental page, and finally the Checkout page, in that order:</p>
<ul>
<li>The All Properties page is the page where users can see all available rentals. Users can select dates and also see each rental’s location.</li>
<li>The Rental page is the page where users see all the details for the selected property, including an overview, rates, reviews, amenities, and house rules.</li>
<li>The Checkout page is where users complete their booking for the selected rental. They can fine-tune the final settings, such as contact details, and complete their transaction by choosing their preferred payment method.</li>
</ul>
