Direct booking engine

The guest experience starts with the booking.

Inline builds the whole booking into your homepage: rooms, extras and payment, with every step landing in OPERA Cloud or your PMS. Every other industry sells on its own page. Why send your guests anywhere else?

Most guests leave at payment

Inline books inside your own site, in your look. The guest never leaves it.

Nothing about inventory is stored in Inline. OPERA decides, and every decision lives in OPERA.

Rates, restrictions, deposit rules and availability are read from OPERA when a guest asks, so a new hotel works the way it is already set up.

Book by conversation, on your site and in their assistant.

An AI booking chat on your website, and an MCP connector that lets returning guests book from the assistant they already use. Both run on the same live OPERA rates and rules as the booking engine.

AI booking chat

Guests say when and who, in any language, and get the right villa with the price. Try it below.

Money never passes through Inline.

Guests pay the deposit through Stripe, straight into your own Stripe account, and the payment is recorded on the reservation in OPERA.

Inlinerecords the payment on the reservation in OPERA
  • Deposits follow your own OPERA deposit rules.
  • Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, through Stripe Checkout.
  • Your own Stripe account: your payouts, your settlement.
  • No card data touches Inline's servers.

Revenue and data

The whole booking journey is yours.

An OTA sells the room and keeps the guest. With Inline the booking happens on your site, from the first search to the paid deposit, so you sell more on every stay and see every step of it.

Sell the stay, not just the room

Transfers, dining and experiences are offered while the guest is booking, when they are most likely to say yes. Each one is added to the reservation in OPERA as a package, so your team sees it where they already work.

Questions.

Do we need to host or install anything?

No. Inline runs in our cloud and connects to OPERA Cloud through Oracle's hospitality APIs. Your team keeps working in OPERA as it does today.

Which property management systems do you support?

Oracle OPERA Cloud today. Inline reads your rates, rules and inventory from the PMS and writes reservations back, so it works the way your property is already set up. It talks to the PMS through one connector, so if you run a different one, tell us which.

What about our channel manager and the OTAs?

They keep selling from the same OPERA inventory. Inline holds no inventory of its own, so there is nothing extra to sync and nothing to double book.

Who holds the guest's money?

You do. Guests pay deposits through Stripe into your own Stripe account, and Inline never sees card details. If you don't use Stripe yet, we set it up with you during onboarding.

Who owns the booking data?

You do. Reservations and guest profiles live in your OPERA, payments in your Stripe account, and the journey data from your booking page belongs to you, not to an OTA.

What counts as a key?

A bookable room, suite or villa in OPERA, counted across all the properties in your group. Your price is your plan's rate times your keys: the first 30 at the full rate, every key after that at half.

Do the AI booking chats cost extra?

Every plan includes them: 1,000 chats a month on Essential, 3,000 on Growth and 10,000 on Established. A chat is one guest's conversation with the AI, on your site or from their own assistant, however many messages it takes. Beyond your plan, $30 per 1,000 chats.

What if we add villas?

Your price follows your keys, key by key, with no jump to a bigger plan: add villas and the next month's bill grows a little for each one.

Can we keep our current website?

Yes. The booking engine sits inside the site you already have. Our first resort runs it inside a WordPress theme.
