Lodging Suite Booking

Description

This plugin requires a Lodging Suite account. Lodging Suite is a hosted property management system for independent hotels, inns, motels and vacation rentals. The plugin connects your WordPress site to your Lodging Suite property so guests can check availability, see live rates and book directly on your website, commission-free. Bookings appear in your Lodging Suite dashboard the moment they are made. Start a free trial at lodgingsuite.com/signup; plans are listed at lodgingsuite.com.

What guests get

• A search bar with check-in, check-out and guest counts, optional flexible dates (plus or minus up to 3 nights) and an availability calendar.
• A results grid of available rooms or units with photos, live nightly rates and totals, configurable to 2 to 5 columns.
• Room detail pages with a photo gallery and lightbox, amenities, descriptions, an availability calendar and a location map.
• A booking sidebar that collects guest details, applies coupon codes and takes card payment through Stripe, or holds the reservation without payment if you prefer.

What you get

• Every rate, restriction, closure and season you set in Lodging Suite is honored on your site automatically. There is nothing to sync.
• Guest details and card payments go straight to your own Stripe account, connected inside Lodging Suite. The plugin never stores card numbers.
• Association mode lets a tourism board or resort association list several member properties and route each booking to the right one.
• Colors, button styling, labels and column counts are configured on the plugin settings page, so the widgets match your theme.

Shortcodes

External services

This plugin talks to the following services. No data is sent until a visitor uses a booking widget, except as noted.

Lodging Suite API (operated by Lodging Suite, hosted on Supabase at tjtvqqfsiqdseubrtngu.supabase.co). Every widget loads your property content, availability and rates from this API, and sends bookings to it. Data sent: your property API key, search dates and guest counts, and for a booking the guest’s name, email, phone, address, special requests, coupon code and the payment token issued by Stripe. This is the service the plugin exists to connect to; it cannot work without it. Terms of service – Privacy policy

Stripe (js.stripe.com). Loaded only when you enter a Stripe publishable key on the settings page. Card details are entered in Stripe’s own hosted fields and go directly from the guest’s browser to Stripe; the plugin and Lodging Suite only receive a token. Terms – Privacy policy

Google Maps (maps.google.com, www.google.com/maps/embed, maps.googleapis.com). The room detail page embeds a map of the property’s location in an iframe; with a Google API key entered on the settings page the Maps Embed API is used instead. When a key is present the booking form also loads the Places library to autocomplete the guest’s address. Google receives the property coordinates and, for autocomplete, what the guest types in the address field. Set show_map="false" and leave the key empty to disable both. Terms – Privacy policy

Source code

The booking widgets are built from TypeScript and React source in the src directory of this plugin and compiled with Vite into assets/js/ls-booking.js. Run npm install and npm run build inside the plugin directory to rebuild.
