Smily Integration (BookingSync)

Introduction

If Smily (formerly BookingSync) is your main Property Management System (PMS), you can connect your account with Chekin to automatically import your properties and reservations along with their associated data, allowing you to manage everything in a simple and reliable way. This integration helps you automate key check-in processes, reduce manual tasks, and keep your guests' information synchronized between both platforms.

This quick guide will help you connect your Smily account to Chekin. You don't need an API key: the connection is authorized directly from your Smily (BookingSync) account.

🔎 Prerequisites

• An active Smily (BookingSync) account.
• Your Smily (BookingSync) login details, to authorize the connection.
• A new Chekin account. If you already have a Chekin account, please contact our support team before connecting.

➡️ Steps to connect

• Step 1: Go to Chekin → https://chekin.com/onboarding/register-form/
• Step 2: Fill in the form with the requested information.
• Step 3: Select the PMS → BookingSync and click Continue.
• Step 4: Click the button to connect with BookingSync.
• Step 5: You will be redirected to the Smily (BookingSync) login page. Log in with your credentials (if you are already logged in, this step is skipped).
• Step 6: Authorize the connection to confirm it.

You will be redirected back to your Chekin dashboard, and your properties and reservations will start importing automatically. Depending on the system's workload, this process may take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of minutes.
