Automated online check-in

Check-in that handles itself.

One link does it all: guests confirm their booking, verify their identity, pay the deposit and tourist tax, buy extras — and receive the door code. Before they even arrive. Without you lifting a finger.

Nothing is charged during the 14-day trial. Cancel anytime.

The guest journey

From booking to door code in 10 steps

This is exactly what your guest goes through — on their phone, in their language, in a few minutes.

  1. 01Unique check-in link

    Every reservation gets its own secure link, sent automatically by email or SMS.

  2. 02Booking confirmation & consent

    Guest confirms dates and guest count, accepts your terms & conditions, privacy policy and GDPR.

  3. 03Document selection

    Passport or national ID card — both fully supported.

  4. 04Document scan with MRZ reading

    Camera capture or photo upload. The machine-readable zone is read automatically.

  5. 05Personal details

    Pre-filled from the document — the guest just double-checks and confirms.

  6. 06Selfie

    A quick photo with the front camera, with a built-in camera permission guide.

  7. 07Face match

    The selfie is compared with the document photo directly on the device, with a match score.

  8. 08Upsells

    Late check-out, parking, breakfast and more — one tap to add to the stay.

  9. 09Tax & deposit payment

    Tourist tax and security deposit paid securely via Stripe — cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay.

  10. 10Done — access granted

    The guest receives the smart lock PIN code and arrival instructions.

Every step is configurable. Turn off identity verification, deposits or taxes and the flow shortens automatically.

Identity verification

Know who is sleeping in your property

Document scanning with automatic MRZ reading and biometric face matching that runs directly in the guest's browser — fast, private and with a manual review fallback for edge cases.

  • Passport and national ID with automatic MRZ reading and manual entry fallback
  • Face matching runs on the guest's device — no third-party identity service needed
  • Manual approval queue: you get notified and approve or decline in one click
  • "All guests must register" mode for complete guest records
  • Or turn identity verification off entirely — the flow adapts automatically

Deposits & tourist tax

Money collected before the guest arrives

Security deposits and city tax are handled during check-in via Stripe. You choose the mechanism, the rules and the channels — Rentalls does the charging, holding and refunding.

  • Authorization hold or charge with automatic refund after a set number of days (default 7)
  • Keep part of the deposit for damages and refund the rest in one click
  • Tourist tax with age exemptions — children and seniors 70+ pay nothing
  • Per-channel rules: collect deposits and tax only on platforms that don't collect them for you
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe, with optional fee pass-through to the guest

Automation

Set it once, never think about it again

Check-in invitations, reminders, lock codes and notifications all run on autopilot. You only step in when something needs your decision.

  • Check-in links send themselves — days or hours before arrival, with reminders
  • Smart lock PIN generated automatically the moment check-in completes
  • Early check-in and late check-out purchases automatically extend the lock code validity
  • Instant notifications for completed check-ins and manual review requests
  • Live statuses on your dashboard: pending, partial, complete
