Booking Engine
Your website should be your cheapest channel.
OTAs take 18–25% of every booking they send. The ZimmerStack booking engine puts live rates, real availability and UPI checkout on your own website — commission stays at zero, and the guest relationship stays yours.

Everything between a look and a booking
Direct guests abandon at friction. Each of these exists to remove one specific reason people fall back to an OTA.
Live rates & availability
The engine reads the same inventory your board and channel manager use — a room shown is a room available, priced by the same rate plans and seasons.
0% commission, every plan
ForeverSome India suites charge up to 4% on their own booking engines, plus per-booking fees on direct traffic. Ours is 0%, on every plan, permanently — the direct channel exists so you stop paying commission, not pay it to us.
UPI-first checkout
India-firstGPay, PhonePe, cards and netbanking through Razorpay. Prepaid, part-advance or pay-at-hotel — you choose per rate plan. Refunds tracked to the folio.
Always cheaper than OTAs
Hold your direct rate a step below OTA rates automatically. Guests who compare see it; the “book direct and save” promise becomes real, not a sticker.
Promo codes & corporate rates
Wedding blocks, repeat-guest codes, negotiated company rates with billing to account — configured once, honored everywhere.
Hotel website included
FreeNo website? We generate a fast, image-led hotel site with your rooms, gallery and the engine built in — the same stack already live at working hotels in production.
Bookings land on the board
A direct booking creates the reservation, blocks inventory across OTAs and appears on the front-desk board in the same second. No email-to-register copying.
WhatsApp confirmations
Instant confirmation and pre-arrival messages where Indian guests actually read them, with payment links for balance collection.
The commission math, out loud
This is the whole argument for direct bookings, on one table. It usually pays for ZimmerStack several times over.
