Hostaway
Connect Hostaway to your webflow site to get more control over your properties across Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com using embeddable widgets and API integrations.
How to integrate Hostaway with Webflow
Integrating Hostaway with Webflow lets property managers display real-time availability on custom-branded websites while automating guest communications and synchronizing reservations across channels. This combines Webflow's design flexibility with Hostaway's property management capabilities.
Hostaway doesn't offer a native Webflow integration. Embed Hostaway's booking widgets for guest-facing search and booking functionality, or build custom API integrations when you need to synchronize property data across entire portfolios or implement custom availability displays.
Embed Hostaway booking widgets in Webflow
Add Hostaway's embeddable booking engine to your Webflow pages using the platform's custom Code Embed element. The embedded widget queries Hostaway's API and renders search results, availability calendars, and checkout forms directly on your pages, allowing guests to complete bookings without leaving your website.
Hostaway provides embeddable search bar and calendar widgets that connect directly to your property inventory. The widgets pull live data from your Hostaway account, so availability and pricing stay synchronized automatically across all channels.
Some common embed implementations include:
- Homepage search widgets use Hostaway's embeddable search bar combined with Webflow's design elements to add property search filtering by location, dates, and guest count
- Property detail page booking calendars embed Hostaway's calendar widget on individual property pages in Webflow to display availability with real-time booking capability
- Standalone booking pages create dedicated booking landing pages in Webflow that incorporate Hostaway's embeddable widgets for marketing campaigns
- Multi-property portfolio displays use Webflow CMS combined with Hostaway's embeddable widgets to show availability across your entire property collection
For site-wide functionality, add the embed code through custom code in head and body tags in the <head> or before </body>. For property-specific widgets across multiple listings, use custom code in the CMS to store unique widget codes for each property and display them dynamically on collection template pages.
Obtain the embed code from Hostaway's booking engine settings, paste it into Webflow's Code Embed element, and publish. The booking widget handles payment processing through Hostaway's connected payment providers (Stripe or Braintree), which means you don't process payments directly, keeping you out of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance scope.
Build with Webflow and Hostaway APIs
Custom API integration gives you control over how property data flows between Hostaway and Webflow. Build this when embedded widgets don't meet your requirements, such as when you need to display availability for 50+ properties in a searchable CMS collection, implement custom pricing logic, or synchronize property data across multiple websites.
The Hostaway REST API provides programmatic access to listings, reservations, calendars, pricing, and guest data. Webflow's CMS API lets you create, read, update, and delete collection items programmatically. Together, they support custom property websites that stay synchronized with your operational system.
Rate limiting considerations for large portfolios: Hostaway enforces 15 requests per 10 seconds per IP and 20 requests per 10 seconds per account. Real-time synchronization for portfolios exceeding 50 properties requires careful architectural planning including queuing systems, off-peak scheduling, and webhook-triggered updates. For large-scale deployments, implement tiered polling strategies and schedule bulk operations during off-peak hours to work within these constraints.
Sync property data to Webflow CMS
Pull property details from Hostaway and populate Webflow CMS collections automatically. Query GET /v1/listings to retrieve property information including names, descriptions, addresses, photos, amenities, and base pricing. Create or update collection items using POST /collections/{collectionid}/items or PATCH /collections/{collectionid}/items/{item_id}.
This approach removes manual data entry when you add new properties or update existing listings. Changes in Hostaway propagate to your Webflow site automatically through scheduled sync jobs.
For portfolios exceeding 50 properties, implement queuing systems and schedule bulk updates during off-peak hours to ensure reliable synchronization within rate limiting constraints.
Display real-time availability and pricing
Show current availability and dynamic pricing on property pages by querying Hostaway's calendar data. Use GET /v1/listings/{listingId}/calendar with startDate and endDate parameters to retrieve availability status, daily rates, minimum night requirements, and blocked dates. Store this data in Webflow CMS fields and display it through collection templates.
For properties with seasonal pricing or complex rate structures, regularly query the Hostaway calendar endpoint to keep your website pricing accurate. The calendar endpoint returns daily pricing including base rates, weekend pricing, and discount information (minNights, maxNights, monthlyDiscount, weeklyDiscount) that your revenue management system generates, allowing you to display current pricing in your Webflow CMS without manual updates.
Guests can complete bookings directly on the website using Hostaway's embeddable booking widgets.
Manage bookings and reservations
To create reservation records in Hostaway for bookings completed through your Webflow site, implement custom API integration, since no native Hostaway-Webflow integration exists. The Hostaway API documentation provides the required endpoints. Query GET /v1/reservations to retrieve existing bookings with filters for listing ID, status, and date ranges. Create new reservations using POST /v1/reservations for manual bookings or calendar blocks.
For a no-code approach, consider implementing Hostaway's embeddable booking widgets through Webflow's Code Embed element.
Automate updates with webhooks
Configure Hostaway webhooks to receive real-time notifications when reservations are created, updated, or cancelled. Your webhook endpoint receives event data and triggers corresponding updates to Webflow CMS through the API.
Hostaway fires webhook events for reservation.created, reservation.updated, reservation.cancelled, and payment status changes. When Hostaway fires a webhook, query full reservation details using GET /v1/reservations/{reservationId} and update the corresponding Webflow collection item to reflect current booking status.
Both platforms retry failed webhook deliveries approximately three times. Webhook payloads may be incomplete, so implement supplementary API calls to retrieve full data when needed. Build idempotent handlers (functions that produce the same result when called multiple times with identical input) that can process the same event multiple times safely, and maintain polling-based reconciliation jobs for critical data.
The RobotMermaid/WebflowSpaceApi GitHub repository provides a reference implementation for Node.js API integration patterns with Webflow CMS, offering architectural guidance applicable to property management integration scenarios.
What you can build
Integrating Hostaway with Webflow lets property managers display real-time availability on custom-branded websites, synchronize reservations across channels, and automate guest communications from website bookings through custom API development or embedded booking widgets.
- Multi-property portfolio sites with centralized management: Create branded websites showcasing rental properties across multiple markets where property details, availability, pricing, and photos sync automatically from your Hostaway account
- Direct booking websites with embedded functionality: Implement Hostaway's booking widgets directly into Webflow using the platform's Code Embed element for no-code booking capability, enabling guests to search availability, view pricing, and complete reservations without leaving your website
- Property owner portals with performance data: Build client-facing dashboards that display unit-specific booking calendars and occupancy metrics by pulling reservation and calendar data from Hostaway's API and presenting it through Webflow CMS, giving property owners access to performance insights
Frequently asked questions
No, Hostaway does not offer a native integration with Webflow. You'll need to use one of two methods: embed Hostaway's booking widgets using Webflow's custom code capabilities, or build a custom integration using Hostaway's REST API with Webflow's CMS API.
Yes, guests can complete bookings directly on your Webflow site using Hostaway's embeddable booking widgets. The booking engine widgets include search functionality, availability calendars, and checkout flows that process reservations through your Hostaway account. To embed these widgets, add the widget code to Webflow using the custom code embed element, which accepts embed codes and custom HTML without requiring coding knowledge. Payment processing happens through Hostaway's connected payment providers (Stripe or Braintree) as documented in Hostaway's payment FAQ, with payment completion occurring on the provider's hosted pages rather than within your Webflow site, keeping you out of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance scope.
Sync property data using Hostaway's API to programmatically update Webflow CMS collections. Query GET /v1/listings to retrieve property details including names, descriptions, photos, and amenities. Create or update collection items using POST /collections/{collectionid}/items or PATCH /collections/{collectionid}/items/{item_id}. Note that updating published items requires unpublishing first, updating, then republishing—tripling API calls. For automated synchronization, configure Hostaway webhooks to notify your integration when listings change, or schedule regular polling jobs that check for updates.
Yes, when bookings flow into Hostaway through embedded widgets or API-created reservations, they trigger Hostaway's automated messaging workflows. According to Hostaway's automation features, the platform provides 60+ automation templates for booking confirmations, check-in instructions, review requests, and upsell messaging. The inbox message automations documentation shows how to configure triggers based on reservation events. Bookings completed through embedded widgets automatically enter Hostaway's system and trigger your configured automation sequences.
Configure Hostaway webhooks to receive
reservation.cancelledevents when bookings are cancelled. Your webhook endpoint receives the notification, queries GET /v1/reservations/{reservationId} to retrieve full reservation details, and then uses PATCH /collections/{collectionid}/items/{propertyitem_id} to update availability status on your website. For embedded booking widgets, cancellations update availability automatically since the widget queries live data from Hostaway's system on each page load.
