Today we’re excited to unveil the revamped HostPass dashboard and redesigned check-in experience — a cleaner, more focused interface that helps property managers automate guest verification, deposit handling, and access delivery while keeping data protection front of mind.

TL;DR

• A redesigned property dashboard gives instant visibility into check-ins, active guests, reservations and deposits.
• The check-in flow is now a guided 4‑step wizard (ID upload → Guest details → Security deposit → Access info) to reduce friction and errors.
• Advanced ID verification, Stripe deposit integration, multilingual forms and smart-access delivery are built in to save time and improve security
• Get started quickly with a free trial and manage all properties from one place.

What’s new — highlights for hosts and property managers

• Centralized property dashboard and quick metrics
  The redesigned dashboard puts the most important numbers and actions up front so you can see check-ins this month, currently active guests, total reservations and handled deposits at a glance — all from a single property view
• Guided 4‑step check-in wizard
  HostPass now guides guests through a simple, four-step process: receive a secure check-in link, upload ID for verification, pay (or authorize) a deposit, and receive access information — reducing manual work for hosts and improving guest completion rates
• Guest check-in link generator (customized, unique links)
  Create tailored check-in links for bookings (unique per guest) and adjust the number of guests or deposit requirements before sending — links expire after the check-in is completed for safety and simplicity
• Advanced ID verification and GDPR-conscious storage
  The platform supports automated ID scanning and verification and stores verification data securely and in compliance with GDPR practices (encrypted storage and post-stay retention policies) to protect both hosts and guests
• Seamless deposit and payment handling via Stripe
  Hosts can automatically collect, hold and release security deposits using the integrated Stripe workflow — reducing disputes and administrative overhead
• Digital access management & smart‑lock integration
  After verification, HostPass can automatically generate time-limited access codes and share entry instructions — eliminating the need for physical handovers or lockboxes and improving guest experience
• Multi‑guest workflows and multilingual forms
  The check-in flow supports collecting ID and details for multiple guests in one booking and offers multilingual support for guests in English, German, French, Spanish, Bulgarian, Greek and more
• Reservation and activity list with status and actions
  A recent-reservations table lets managers view check-in status (active, incomplete, canceled), open reservation details quickly and take immediate action from the dashboard.

Benefits you’ll notice (operational impact)

• Faster, more reliable check-ins — HostPass automation can reduce manual check-in time significantly (the product claims reductions up to ~85% in check-in time by automating verification and access delivery).
• Fewer disputes and clearer finances — integrated deposit collection and release reduces payment friction and dispute risk.
• Better scalability for remote/property‑portfolio managers — centralized controls and per-property settings let teams run dozens of units without extra onsite staff.
• Stronger security and compliance — automated ID verification, encrypted storage and GDPR-aligned handling protect hosts and guests alike.

How to get started (quick checklist)

1. Sign up or start the free trial to explore the new dashboard.
2. Add your property and confirm property settings (deposit rules, guest info page visibility).
3. Use the Guest Check‑in Link Generator to create a tailored link and send it to guests before arrival.
4. Monitor reservation statuses and completed check-ins from the dashboard, and configure automatic access delivery after verification
