Extra Revenue From a Stay You Already Booked

Early check-in, a room upgrade, or a guaranteed late checkout: offers a guest can say yes to before they even arrive, at a price you set.

In short

Suzy can offer a guest one relevant upsell (early check-in, a room upgrade, or a guaranteed late checkout) in the window before they arrive, but only for offer types you've turned on and priced yourself. Nothing is offered by default. A guest only ever gets one offer per stay, never a stack of texts. The pay-by-text link itself is built and tested; sending the offer over SMS is waiting on the same A2P 10DLC carrier registration every other outbound text feature on this site is honest about.

The upsells that are easiest to say yes to

A guest who's already booked a room is the easiest upsell conversation you'll have. They've already decided to stay. The question is just whether anyone asks them, at the right moment, before check-in, while it's still useful to say yes.

Most independent motels don't ask, not because the upside isn't real, but because there's no one available to text every arriving guest individually in the day or two before they show up. This is built to do exactly that one, small, well-timed offer, automatically.

The three offers, and what triggers each one

Every offer type defaults off. You turn on the ones you want and set your own price; Suzy never invents a price or offers something you haven't enabled.

Early check-in

Time-sensitive

Offered in the window 4 to 30 hours before a guest's check-in time, and only if Guest Reservations shows no known conflict with the room still being occupied. If the data doesn't show a conflict, it's treated as available, never blocked on a guess.

Room upgrade

Evergreen

Available any time in the 48 hours before arrival once you've set a price above $0. Not time-boxed the way early check-in is, since a better room doesn't depend on when the current occupant leaves.

Guaranteed late checkout

Reserved in advance

A late checkout the guest pays to reserve ahead of time, instead of asking at the front desk and hoping. Defaults to $25 once enabled, and you can set your own price.

Honest status

The offer logic, the payment link, and the quiet-hours and opt-out gating are all built and tested. What's still pending: the text carrying the offer goes out over SMS, and outbound US SMS is waiting on A2P 10DLC carrier registration, the same status every other SMS feature on this site is honest about. A guest never receives more than one pre-arrival offer, and every send checks the same guardrails as any other outbound text: the property's kill switch, the guest's opt-out status, and TCPA quiet hours.

What you control

Every offer type, and its price, lives in your property settings. Nothing is priced or enabled for you. If you only want to offer guaranteed late checkout and leave room upgrades off, that's a one-toggle decision, not a support ticket.

A guest who accepts pays through a real, direct payment link, the same text-to-pay mechanism used for other guest charges on this site, not a manual invoice you have to chase down.

Frequently asked questions.

Do I have to turn all three offers on?

No. Early check-in, room upgrade, and guaranteed late checkout are each an independent toggle with your own price. All three default off until you enable them.

Can a guest get more than one upsell text before they arrive?

No. If more than one offer is available, Suzy picks a single best one to lead with (early check-in first, then room upgrade, then late checkout) so a guest never gets stacked offers before a stay they haven't even started.

Is this live for guests today?

The offer computation and the payment link are built and tested. The text itself is an outbound SMS, so it's gated the same way every other outbound text on this site is: waiting on A2P 10DLC carrier registration, currently in progress.

What if the room isn't actually free for early check-in?

If Guest Reservations shows another guest's stay overlapping the room, the early check-in offer isn't sent. If there's no PMS data on file at all, it's treated as available rather than blocked on a guess, since the goal is never to invent a conflict the data doesn't actually show.

One well-timed offer, not a sales pitch.

Starts at $349/month. You set the offers and the prices.
