We will get through this…
I hope that you and your families are safe as the world grapples with this unprecedented catastrophe.
These are very difficult times for our industry. The spread and impact of the coronavirus has taken most of us by surprise, and the government mandates of social distancing affects our businesses greatly. The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge we must face together. We at Tokeet want to help our customers weather this storm as much as we can. Therefore, we are immediately implementing the following initiatives, no action is needed on your part.
What we are doing to help:
- Current paid customers with account addresses in Italy, with properties in Italy will be given the next six (6) months of their Tokeet subscription for free.
- Customers who previously committed to a yearly plan will receive a two-month extension on their contracts. Your extra months will be billed at the discounted rate when their time comes.
- The previously announced platform fee will be deferred indefinitely. In addition, the auto invoicing features will still be released as planned.
- New user trials will be extended from 15 to 30 days to allow a longer consideration window.
On our side, we are doing everything we can to ensure that the entire Customer Support, Product Management, and Engineering teams are working to help you. We have also opened a topic on our Community Board for discussing the impact of COVID-19 on our industry and what strategies can help us cope with it.
We hope that these measures will be helpful to you in maintaining your business health through these challenging times. As the pandemic progresses we will consider additional initiatives to help our customers and will follow-up with further announcements.
Best wishes,
Kwesi Steele

Welcome to Tokeet’s Podcast — your trusted source for insights, trends, and strategies shaping the vacation rental industry. Each episode features expert interviews, data-driven analysis, and practical tips to help property managers grow their businesses, improve guest experiences, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving market. Whether you’re new to short-term rentals or managing a large portfolio, tune in to stay informed and inspired.
AdvanceCM now connects natively to Staido, a booking engine that runs inside a host’s own website.
In this episode, we break down why website traffic doesn’t always turn into bookings, and where most vacation rental hosts lose guests in the process. We walk through how the AdvanceCM–Staido integration keeps availability, rates, and bookings synced automatically, so there’s no second calendar to manage.
We also cover how guest payments route directly to the host’s own Stripe account, and how abandoned bookings get recovered with automated reminders.
Pricing, the AdvanceCM/Tokeet partner rate, and the October 5 onboarding date are all covered in detail. This is a practical look at what the partnership actually changes for hosts, not just an announcement.
Key Takeaways:
✅ AdvanceCM and Staido now sync automatically — availability, rates, bookings, and cancellations update in both systems without manual entry
✅ Guest payments go directly to the host’s own Stripe account; Staido never holds booking revenue
✅ Abandoned bookings get an automated, branded reminder instead of just disappearing
✅ Pricing is 2.9% per completed booking, or 2.5% for AdvanceCM and Tokeet customers through October 5, 2027
✅ Host onboarding opens October 5, 2026 — the waitlist is open now
