Guest websites
A booking website that keeps the commission.
Branded site on yourhotel.bitlegacy.in — rooms or entire-place stays, live availability, and a commission‑free booking path — without a separate web agency. Homestays, farmhouses, and cottages use the same builder. Airbnb hosts can keep OTAs for discovery and grow direct on their own URL. Pair it with your front desk and OTA sync so every channel shares one inventory.

Custom Domain & Website SEO
Your guest website can run on a BitLegacy subdomain or your own domain. Website SEO (publish/prerender) is included on paid Hotel, Homestay, Farmhouse/Villa, and Resort plans, and on the free Multiproperty hub brand site — not on Free hotel or Restaurant-only. Custom domain add-on, ₹2,499/month (included in Business). See Pricing and the custom domain guide.
Remember: the booking engine is for website/direct booking. Channel Manager is for OTA distribution — they solve different jobs.
UPI & Razorpay at checkout
Indian guests expect UPI — not card-only Western checkout. Where entitled (Paid Marketplace path or Pro-included), BitLegacy sites take advances via Razorpay: UPI, cards, and net banking. Direct stays stay commission-free on BitLegacy; gateway MDR still applies. Confirm entitlement on Pricing / Marketplace.

Airbnb hosts, farmhouses & Maps
Keep Airbnb and other OTAs for discovery. Grow commission-free stays on your BitLegacy site. Farmhouse / Villa entire-place is a fixed ₹650/month plan with Channel Manager included. Put that URL on Google Business Profile / Maps only when your lodging business is eligible — not every private holiday home qualifies.

Common questions
Is the booking engine the same as a channel manager?
No. The booking engine lets guests book on your website (direct). Channel Manager syncs with OTAs. Most independent hotels need both plus a PMS.
Is a custom domain included?
A custom domain is an add-on at ₹2,499/month, and it's included in the Business plan. Every paid plan comes with a booking website. Website SEO (publish/prerender) is included on paid Hotel, Homestay, Farmhouse/Villa, and Resort plans, and on the free Multiproperty hub brand site.
Are direct bookings commission-free?
Yes. BitLegacy guest websites include a commission-free booking engine so you keep the margin on direct stays — BitLegacy takes no OTA-style cut. Gateway MDR on UPI/cards still applies. OTAs are not always “more expensive” than direct — see /ota-commission-vs-direct-bookings-india for labeled EXAMPLE maths (check your OTA contracts).
Are OTAs always more expensive than direct?
It depends. OTAs buy reach and often take a platform commission (common education band ~15–25% — estimate; check your contract). Direct on BitLegacy has no OTA-style cut, but SaaS and MDR still exist. Guide: /ota-commission-vs-direct-bookings-india. We do not claim “save 15–20%.”
Can Airbnb hosts use BitLegacy for a direct website?
Yes. Keep Airbnb for discovery and use BitLegacy for your own bookable site. Farmhouse / Villa entire-place is ₹650/month with Channel Manager included. See the Airbnb hosts page for the hybrid model.
Can I put my BitLegacy website on Google Maps?
If your lodging business is eligible for Google Business Profile, set the website field to your BitLegacy or custom-domain URL — not only an Airbnb listing. Pure holiday homes are often not GBP-eligible; read our Maps / GBP lodging guide first.
How do WhatsApp and the booking website work together?
Use WhatsApp for confirmations and replies (Manual WhatsApp Notify from the reservation). When guests enquire on WhatsApp, send your BitLegacy booking website link for commission-free direct stays. Messaging does not replace the website or channel manager.
Can guests pay with UPI on the BitLegacy booking website?
Yes, via Razorpay where entitled (Paid Marketplace path or Pro-included — confirm on Pricing / Marketplace). UPI, cards, and net banking at checkout. BitLegacy stays are commission-free; gateway MDR still applies. Not WhatsApp Pay-inside-chat.
Does the BitLegacy booking website require guest consent and respect cookies?
When free DPDP Consent & Terms is entitled (default for guest-PII businesses), guests accept privacy/terms before booking — with parental consent if children are listed. Cookie banners offer Accept analytics or Essential only. Footers link Privacy, Data rights, Terms, and Cookies. New sites seed empty testimonials, not fake quotes. BitLegacy does not certify full DPDP compliance.
