Can I cancel my BitLegacy subscription anytime?

Yes. Cancel anytime. If you cancel before paid renewal after a trial, you are not charged for the subscription period that never started. There is no separate www /legal/refund page and no invented prorata refund product. After cancel, access continues to the end of the paid period; then the workspace is read-only for 14 days (data stays viewable, reactivate from billing), then suspended. See /cancellation-refund. Guest stay cancel/refund rules are the property’s policies — not a BitLegacy all-in fee ledger.

Is there a setup fee?

No. Published BitLegacy plans have no setup fee. Confirm live packaging on Pricing.

Pricing

What’s the difference between Growth and Pro?

Growth is ₹999/month for up to 10 rooms — mid-tier lodging, not the entry price. Pro is ₹2,499/month for up to 20 rooms and includes Channel Manager. On Growth, Channel Manager remains a ₹1,000/month + GST add-on. Verify room caps and annual prices on Pricing.

Small hotels software · About

Is BitLegacy suitable for a 2–5 room hotel?

Yes. Starter is built for micro hotels, Homestays, and farmhouses — from ₹299/month at 2 rooms, with a published ladder through 8 rooms. A 3-room property sits around ₹399/month on Starter (verify on Pricing). Growth (₹999/mo, ≤10 rooms) is mid-tier, not the entry price.

PMS for 2 rooms · Under ₹500/mo

Can I migrate from Excel / WhatsApp chaos?

Yes — that is a common starting point for independent hotels. BitLegacy replaces scattered spreadsheets and chat-only inventory with one desk, GST folio, and optional website + OTA sync. See PMS vs Excel for the honest comparison.

OTAs / Channel Manager

Does BitLegacy work with MakeMyTrip / Booking.com / Agoda / Expedia?

BitLegacy Channel Manager connects major OTAs such as MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, Agoda, Expedia, and Airbnb when entitled — confirm which channels are live for your property. Availability depends on Channel Manager connectivity. CM is not included on Starter/Growth unless you add it (or choose Pro / Pro+ / Farmhouse where included).

How does BitLegacy compare to free PMS tools?

Free desk tools can be right for tiny walk-in ops. BitLegacy Starter is a paid published stack from ₹299/month with website + Website SEO on paid lodging plans; custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month (included in Business); Channel Manager is separate on Starter. We do not claim “#1 cheapest in India.” See the free vs paid guide and Frontdesko compare for honest packaging.

Website / UPI & WhatsApp

Can guests book direct on my own website?

Yes. Paid lodging plans include a commission-free BitLegacy guest website and booking engine — BitLegacy does not take an OTA-style cut on those direct stays. Website SEO is included on paid Hotel, Homestay, and Resort plans (and on the free Multiproperty hub brand site); custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month (included in Business).

Guest website · Product

Does BitLegacy support UPI / Razorpay payments?

Yes, via Razorpay guest checkout (UPI, cards, net banking) where entitled — Paid Marketplace path or Pro-included; confirm on Pricing / Marketplace. Commission-free on BitLegacy direct stays; gateway MDR still applies. Not WhatsApp Pay-inside-chat and not zero MDR forever. Guest checkout is separate from BitLegacy SaaS subscription billing.

UPI / Razorpay booking engine · Website

How does WhatsApp messaging work (Manual Notify vs credit packs)?

Manual WhatsApp Notify is a free Marketplace install — it opens staff WhatsApp with a ready message for that booking (confirm / check-in / checkout / review). Optional WhatsApp/SMS credit packs are a separate paid path when you use pack-based messaging. Not bulk spam marketing and not an always-on AI booking bot unless that product is live.

Homestay vs Farmhouse & Multiproperty

Homestay vs Farmhouse/Villa — which plan?

Homestay is by the room (Stay Requests, host confirm) — Homestay SKU from ₹1,000/month or Starter from ₹299 for small room counts; Website SEO on paid Homestay; custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month (included in Business). Farmhouse / Villa is entire-place at ₹650/month with Channel Manager included. Do not mix the SKUs.

What is the free Multiproperty hub?

A free brand hub that connects separate hotel, resort, villa, cottage, and Homestay tenants under one operator login — with a brand website (website SEO on the portfolio plan; custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month (included in Business)), Front Desk across properties, and optional shared Razorpay / messaging packs. Each property keeps its own subscription. It is not one mashed PMS login. Manager settlements is an optional ledger only (no in-app bank payout). Example: 5× Farmhouse/Villa ≈ ₹3,250/mo + hub ₹0 (verify ₹650 on Pricing).

GST, Compliance & trust

Does BitLegacy handle GST folio / billing?

Yes. Desk GST-ready folios (CGST/SGST/IGST) are part of the PMS. The property and its CA remain responsible for filing — BitLegacy is not your CA and does not auto-file GSTR. Accounting is a separate free Marketplace unlock for a period GST register and cash P&L in INR — not multi-currency ERP.

Hotel GST billing / folio · Hotel accounting / GST register · Product

What is Compliance Calendar (and what it is not)?

Compliance Calendar is a free Marketplace unlock for lodging that tracks license and filing due dates with reminders (trade license, fire NOC, and other catalog types). Reminders only — not legal advice and not government portal filing. It is separate from Accounting GST register.

Compliance Calendar · Accounting

Is BitLegacy related to BIT Legacy Malaysia or crypto projects?

BitLegacy Hotels is hotel PMS by BitLegacy Solutions LLP (India) — not related to BIT Legacy Sdn Bhd (Malaysia) or unrelated crypto, legacy-storage, or gaming “Bit Legacy” projects.

About · Company entity

Guest privacy & DPDP

Does BitLegacy require guest consent before booking?

When free DPDP Consent & Terms is entitled (default for hotel, resort, homestay, restaurant, and multiproperty portfolio), guests accept privacy/terms before booking, stay request, hall enquiry, review, restaurant table reserve, or hub book. Parental consent applies when children are listed. Consent is server-enforced and audited — not only a UI checkbox. BitLegacy does not certify that a property is fully DPDP compliant.

Ops add-ons 2026 (DPDP) · Guest website

Is DPDP Consent & Terms free and default-installed?

Yes. It is a free Marketplace add-on, default-installed for guest-PII businesses (new signups and backfill). Cookie banner and legal pages work platform-wide; form checkboxes, consent audit, and DSR inbox need the entitlement.

What’s new in ops add-ons · Product

How do guests request access, correction, or deletion of their data?

On the property guest site, open Privacy → Data rights (/legal/privacy#dsr). Staff verify identity, then erase manually from Guests when appropriate — BitLegacy never auto-deletes from a DSR ticket alone.

Platform privacy · Ops add-ons / DPDP

How does the cookie banner work on BitLegacy guest sites?

Guests choose Accept analytics or Essential only. Analytics (e.g. GA4/GTM) load only after analytics consent — not after a vague “I understand.” Footers link Privacy, Data rights, Terms, and Cookies.

Cookie policy · Guest website

Does BitLegacy seed fake guest reviews on new websites?

No. New website seeds start with empty testimonials. Real Reputation reviews can still merge when that add-on is used. Tenant Builder copy is still the property’s responsibility — BitLegacy docs avoid unsupported “#1 / only PMS” claims.
