About ExtraWelcome

ExtraWelcome gives UK short-term-rental hosts a single link for offering guests extras after they have booked, such as early check-in, late checkout, a mid-stay clean or a welcome hamper. It works alongside Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings, and nothing changes on the listing itself, so there is no property management system to connect.

Hosts choose from ready-made extras, set their prices and share the link in a welcome message or as a printed QR code. Guests open it in their browser without an app or account and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or card through Stripe, with the money going straight to the host's own Stripe account. Time-sensitive items marked as host-confirmed are only charged once the host approves them.

Setup is described as taking about ten minutes, and the team will build the store from a listing link on request. The product is free to start and takes a 12 percent cut only when a guest buys, so the host keeps 88 percent of each purchase.
