Invoice a guest with just their phone number. Get paid before they arrive.
Turn any space into a nightly earner. Your guest gets an SMS payment link — no app, no account — and pays with mobile money.
Core benefits
Short stays, paid before check-in
Everything a host needs to fill nights, get paid up front, and keep clean records.
Any space can earn nightly
Switch a unit to guest-stay mode and price it per night or flat for the whole stay. The same space can return to long-term renting whenever you choose.
Each space has a mode — long-term or guest-stay — so your rental book and your hosting book never blur.
Invoice by phone number
Create a stay with the guest's name, phone number and dates. The guest gets an SMS payment link, opens it in any browser and pays with mobile money — no app, no registration.
Paid before check-in
A stay is confirmed the moment payment lands. Unpaid invoices expire on their own, so a no-show never blocks your calendar.
Stays move through clear states — invoiced, paid, expired, cancelled. Only payment moves a stay to confirmed; expiry is automatic.
Extend in one tap
Guest wants more nights? Extend the stay — a fresh invoice goes out by SMS instantly, linked to the original stay so your records stay clean.
Real receipts for guests
Every guest payment produces the same QR-verifiable PDF receipt tenants get. Corporate guests can file it; you have a permanent record.
A dashboard built for turnover
Every stay, its status and your earnings — invoiced, paid, checked-in, expired — at a glance. Guests get their own simple stay page with their invoice and receipt.

Video coming soonReal scenario
Nobody sleeps there unpaid anymore
My two-bedroom near the airport sat empty between my daughter's visits. My guests come by referral, but chasing payment on WhatsApp was awkward — and one 'guest' left without paying. Now I create the stay in Landlod, the guest gets the SMS link, and I confirm only when the money lands: UGX 180,000 for two nights, paid before the boda leaves the airport. Extensions are one tap. Nobody sleeps in my house unpaid anymore.
FAQ
Host questions, answered
No. The SMS link opens in any browser. They pay with mobile money and receive their receipt — that's the whole experience.
