How it works

Four steps, clearly divided between you and Vivestay

Guest registration touches your guests, your team and the authority. Here is what happens at each step — and who does what. You stay in control; Vivestay carries the routine.

  1. Set up your properties

    You

    • Add each property with its country and timezone.
    • Enter the establishment details the authority requires — once, not per stay.

    Vivestay

    • Applies the destination’s data requirements to every reservation of that property.
    • Keeps separate owners and businesses in fully separated organizations.
  2. Bring in reservations

    You

    • Connect your property software, or create reservations in the console or through the API.
    • Correct booking details any time before registration completes — audited, never silent.

    Vivestay

    • Keeps reservations flowing in and up to date as bookings change — new dates, guest counts, cancellations.
    • Creates a registration for each stay and generates its secure guest link.
  3. Guests register before arrival

    You

    • Share the secure link the way you already talk to guests — booking-platform message, email, or your arrival instructions.
    • Watch per-reservation status instead of chasing paperwork at check-in.

    Vivestay

    • Guides each traveller through a mobile-first form asking only the legally required details — lead guest, additional travellers, children with guardians.
    • Validates every field against the destination’s requirements and shows exactly what is missing.
    • Lets guests review and correct everything before a click-to-sign confirmation.
  4. Report and record

    You

    • Complete the reporting workflow for each stay from the reporting workspace.
    • See at a glance which stays are reported, acknowledged, or still open.

    Vivestay

    • Prepares the authority-ready report for the reservation’s travellers — for Spain, the parte de viajeros.
    • Tracks the reporting deadline from the actual check-in time and timezone.
    • Records the outcome and keeps the immutable audit trail: collected, reported, acknowledged — with timestamps.

Registration

Guest registration, done by the guest

  • Secure registration links

    Every reservation gets its own secure link. Guests open it in the browser on any device — no account, no app, nothing to explain at check-in.

  • The whole travelling party

    Lead guest plus additional travellers, including children with their guardian relationship — everyone the destination requires, captured once.

  • Completeness you can see

    Expected party size versus registered travellers, and per-field validation against the destination’s requirements — visible at all times, per stay.

  • Review, correction & sign-off

    Guests review and correct their details before confirming with a click-to-sign attestation; later corrections are audited, never silent.

Compliance

Reporting that runs like a routine

Country-aware from the ground up: what is collected, how it is validated, and how it is reported follows the rules of where you host.

  • Country-aware data collection

    Each destination’s required guest and stay details — for Spain, the Anexo I traveller fields — collected through the guest flow together with your establishment configuration.

  • Validation before the deadline

    Registrations are checked against the authority’s requirements, so gaps surface days before the deadline — not after a rejection.

  • Reporting workflow

    Prepare and manage authority reporting from one workspace — for Spain, the parte de viajeros for SES.Hospedajes — with each stay carried through to a recorded outcome.

  • Precise deadline tracking

    Reporting windows are derived from the actual check-in time and property timezone — late arrivals and daylight saving included.

  • Status you can prove

    Every report carries its lifecycle — prepared, submitted, acknowledged — so the state of any stay is visible now and provable later.

  • Audit history & retention

    An immutable record of what was collected, reported and acknowledged, retained for the statutory period and then scheduled for anonymisation and deletion.

Operations

A console built for portfolios

Whether you manage your own apartments or run properties for many owners, the console keeps every stay — and every business — in its place.

  • Reservations workspace

    Every stay with its registration status, deadline and outstanding items — across all your properties, in one list your team can actually clear.

  • Property configuration

    Country, establishment identity and timezone per property — set once, applied to every reservation from then on.

  • Reporting workspace

    Reports, deadlines and acknowledgement status in one view — the reporting queue becomes a list you clear, not a worry you carry.

  • Audit trail where you work

    The immutable history of each registration and report, one click away from the stay it belongs to.

  • Teams & separate owners

    Operator accounts with email and password sign-in; one account can manage several fully isolated organizations — each owner’s data strictly apart.

Integrations

Plays well with your stack

Vivestay connects to the systems you already run — it does not replace them.

  • Connect your booking software

    Reservations flow in automatically from OwnerRez or any iCal calendar and stay in sync as bookings change — set up in Vivestay, with no development.

  • Build on Vivestay

    Partner systems provision reservations and follow registration state through the Partner API.

  • Signed webhooks

    Your systems are notified when a guest completes registration — deliveries are signed, retried, and observable.

  • Automation-friendly by design

    Reservation intake, guest-link creation and status updates run as workflows, so routine administration happens without routine effort.

Security

Security & data protection

Guest identity data is among the most sensitive data in hospitality. Vivestay treats protection as a product requirement, not an afterthought.

  • EU-built, EU-hosted

    Developed in Europe and hosted on EU infrastructure.

  • Encryption

    HTTPS for everything in transit; integration credentials are envelope-encrypted at rest.

  • Organization isolation

    Tenant separation is enforced at the database layer, so one organization can never read another’s data.

  • Minimisation & retention

    Only legally required data is collected; it is retained for the statutory period and then scheduled for anonymisation and deletion.
