Common questions, plain answers.

Staylayer is performance-based — there's no monthly fee or upfront cost for hosts. You pay nothing until a booking is attributed to you through the Staylayer perk link flow. Local partners pay a commission only on confirmed bookings that originated from your guest recommendations. If no one books, no one pays.

When a guest discovers a local partner through your Staylayer recommendations and books, the partner pays a commission on that booking. A portion goes to you as the referring host, and Staylayer takes a small platform fee. Commission rates and the platform fee are set when each partner joins. Everything is tracked automatically — you don't have to chase down bookings or send invoices.

When a guest taps 'Get my perk link' on one of your offers, Staylayer generates a unique one-time redemption link and sends it to the guest via SMS. The guest saves the link to their phone and shows it at the partner business when redeeming the perk — typically at check-in, when ordering, or at payment, depending on the partner's redemption setup. The partner verifies the link by entering their organization code on the redemption page, which immediately confirms the booking, locks in the attribution to your account, and calculates the commission. The whole process happens in real time at the moment of service, so there's no manual reporting, no codes to remember, and no waiting for a partner to log the booking later. Each perk link is one-time use and tied to a specific guest, host, and offer — that's how Staylayer guarantees clean attribution from your recommendation all the way through to the confirmed booking.

You give guests a single QR code or link to your curated Staylayer page — usually printed in your welcome materials, included in pre-arrival emails, or displayed somewhere visible at the property. When a guest scans the code, they land on a clean page showing your favorite local picks. Each offer has a 'Get my perk link' button that gives the guest a redemption link they can save to their phone and use at the partner. Guests don't need to download anything, create an account, or remember a code.

When a guest arrives at the partner with their Staylayer perk link, the partner opens the link and enters their organization code to verify the redemption. That single step confirms the booking, attributes it to the right host, and calculates the commission — all in real time. The partner doesn't fill out a booking form, look up codes, or submit anything after the fact. Verification happens at the moment of service, not after.

Most hosts are fully set up in under an hour. You'll upload your logo, add a welcome message, select a few partner offers to feature, and generate your guest materials (link + QR code). Local partners can start accepting referrals in minutes — create your profile, add your offer, and you're live.

No. Staylayer is month-to-month with no long-term commitment. You can pause or stop at any time. We earn your continued use by delivering real, measurable value — nothing else keeps you here.
