How it connects
- We connect to Escapia through its API.
- You approve our access in your Escapia account, and Escapia support may be involved in setting it up.
- When a guest books, we check availability with Escapia through its API first, in under half a second.
What stays in Escapia
- Your units, calendar and reservations stay in Escapia.
- You keep running your business from the tool you already know.
What you get on your own site

Who this is not for. If you only use Escapia to keep your calendar and you do not need a booking page of your own, you may not need us.

Questions about Escapia
Do I have to leave Escapia?
No. You keep Escapia for your calendar and prices. Your new site sits on top of it, and your guests book on your site.
Who sets up the connection?
We do, with you. Partner guides from other companies say a connection to Escapia is requested through Escapia's support and then approved by the account owner in the Escapia dashboard. We will walk you through what you need to approve.
Can two guests book the same dates?
Before a booking is taken, we check availability with Escapia through its API. No system can promise that nothing ever goes wrong, so ask us what is realistic for your setup.
Ask us what is possible
We can look at how you use Escapia and tell you honestly what your site can do with it. We do not promise results, because nobody honest can.
