For independent hosts and alojamento local

Your own booking page. Your own domain. Keep your margin.

A direct booking page for each listing, in your brand: instant booking or requests, card payments, calendars in sync with Booking.com and Airbnb, and guests who come back direct.

Eight questions. Live in minutes.

How it works

Three steps to your own booking page.

  1. Create your account, or send us your listing

    Two minutes for the account. Or talk to us: you send the listing link and the photos, we reply within a day and prepare the English and Portuguese copy for you to review.

  2. Your booking page, one per listing

    Photos, pricing, rules and copy in EN and PT, calendars linked over iCal in both directions. On our address in your brand, or on your own domain. It is a booking page with fixed sections you fill, not a website builder. Several listings link each other, and with two or more your own domain gets a home page with availability across them.

  3. Guests book direct: you keep the margin

    Bookings land with the guest's card verified and saved; the guest is charged at the free-cancellation cutoff, the calendar blocks everywhere, and every stay ships with the guest page.

Two apartments in Funchal, booking direct

SOL by Only Atlantic runs entirely on Capicora: its own domain, one booking page per apartment, direct bookings with card payments live in production, two-way OTA calendar sync, and the guest portal on every stay.

Portugal-compliant out of the box

NIF fatura · taxa municipal · IVA · AL licence

Direct-booking sites report 18–30% repeat-guest rates, versus single digits for OTA-only listings (industry reports).

Built by a host

Pedro hosts. João builds.

SOL's apartments sat closed for more than ten years. They came back in 2025 with the furniture that was left, and every euro they earned went back into them. Capicora is the tool we built to run them, now open to other places.

Our story

Payments

Guests charged like Booking.com, not a day sooner

The card is verified and saved the moment a guest requests. You're only paid at the free-cancellation cutoff you set (or at confirmation for non-refundable dates). If a charge fails, the guest gets a recovery link and a 24-hour grace window before the booking auto-cancels.

  1. BookingCard verified and securely saved
  2. CutoffCharged at your free-cancellation deadline
  3. StayThe guest arrives, fully paid

What your page does

Everything a booking needs, on your domain.

Bookings

Included

Instant confirmation, checked against your OTA calendars

Card bookings confirm themselves after a last check of your Booking.com and Airbnb calendars, so a guest never waits. Prefer to approve each one? Switch a listing to requests, with 48 hours to reply.

Calendars

Included

One calendar with the OTAs

iCal in both directions: dates sold on Booking.com or Airbnb block your booking page, and direct bookings block the OTAs. No double bookings, no channel-manager bill.

Run your listing from the AI you already pay for

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client to manage your listing in conversation. It can change content, rates, availability and the in-stay page, and read guest names and messages. Dedicated guest contact fields are excluded; free text may contain personal details. Payments stay outside the connector.

Capicora speaks MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client can read and edit your listing when you ask it to. Your description, your seasons, your blocked dates, your in-stay page, all written by talking. It runs on your own AI subscription: we charge nothing for it and there is no per-message fee.

Privacy

No ad trackers from Capicora, ever.

Your booking page ships GDPR-ready: cookie policy and an honest consent banner, all included. Your visitor numbers come with the page, without cookies. If you connect your own Google Analytics or Meta Pixel, your guests are asked first. We never retarget your guests and never sell their data.

The guest portal

A guest experience nobody else ships

Every booking comes with a personal guest page (one link, no app): the house guide, local perks, and a regional bucket list with levels to climb. On Connected, the portal is wired to the place itself: home automation and access that follows the stay.

  • A regional bucket list with levels to climb
  • Hand-picked local partner perks
  • House guide and door details in one link

The rebooking loop

A QR code at the place opens the guest page, and the next stay is booked direct, not through an OTA.

Included on every plan; Connected wires it to your place, installed and integrated by us.

FAQ

Questions hosts ask

Do you charge commission on direct bookings?
We charge a small success fee, never OTA commission: €0/mo, 7.5% on the first €1,500 you capture in a month and 3.5% above it (card processing included, the municipal tourist tax never commissioned). Your direct margin stays the point.
Can I really use my own domain?
Yes: your booking page lives on your domain (yourvilla.com), under your brand. Guests never need to know what runs underneath; "Powered by Capicora" sits quietly in the footer.
Will this double-book me against Booking.com or Airbnb?
No. Your Capicora calendar syncs with the OTAs over iCal in both directions: dates sold on Booking.com or Airbnb close your booking page, and your direct bookings close theirs.
What does "Powered by Capicora" mean on a booking page?
It means the page runs on Capicora's booking platform: instant booking or requests, card payments, calendar sync and the guest experience. The brand, the domain and the guest relationship stay the host's.
How is this different from my Booking.com listing?
Your OTA listing rents you demand; your own booking page owns it. Repeat guests, WhatsApp inquiries and the QR code in your unit stop paying 15% or more every time they book. The OTAs stay part of the mix. Your page captures the demand you already generate.
How do I get started?
Direct: it's €0/mo, so there's no risk; you pay only when your page converts a booking. When you want the connected experience (home automation, per-stay access), talk to us about Connected and we'll quote your installation.
