EasyBGC
Automated Guest Verification System for Short-Term Rentals
A hands-free guest verification tool that automates hotel-style ID checks for short-term rentals. Triggers Stripe Identity sessions (government ID + selfie) on new reservations via Guesty API, sends verification links via email, handles real-time webhooks for status updates, and gates check-in instructions/lock codes, only sending them post-approval. Includes a lightweight dashboard for tracking guest/property/status, multi-property support, and conditional automation (verified = auto-approve, failed = manual review), boosting security and reducing manual work for hosts.
Manual guest checks slow down short-term rentals
Hosts wasted hours manually verifying IDs for Airbnb/VRBO bookings, risking fraud, damage, or non-compliant guests. Sending lock codes/instructions without verification exposed properties to risks, while fragmented tools lacked seamless Guesty integration or real-time status.
In the USA vacation rental market, no simple, automated bridge existed between Stripe Identity verification and property management systems, leading to trust issues, operational delays, and higher manual overhead for multi-property managers.
