A direct booking engine lets guests explore accommodation, choose dates and complete a reservation through the property’s own online experience. Bokable includes a branded storefront, property listings, availability, a cart and checkout. This connects the guest’s booking journey with the accommodation provider’s management tools. ### Can direct bookings work alongside external booking channels? Yes. Bokable brings direct booking and channel management into the same platform. Guests can book through your own storefront while you manage external channels such as Airbnb and Booking.com alongside it. During setup, we confirm your channels, property mapping and payment providers before launch. ## Part of the Bokable platform Bokable is booking and property management software for hotels, cabins, campsites, hostels and holiday rentals.
