Does the guest need an app?

No. The guest scans the QR code with the regular phone camera. Everything runs in the browser — no download, no registration, no personal data.

What happens if the guest doesn't scan?

Then everything runs as usual — the cleaning team starts at the scheduled checkout time. CheckYout is a bonus, not an obligation for the guest.

How fast does the notification arrive?

Within 30 seconds of the QR scan, your cleaning team receives a WhatsApp or email notification.

Can I print the QR code myself?

Yes. CheckYout generates a print-ready A4 PDF you can print for free. Optionally, there's a premium wooden sign available.

Does CheckYout work without a PMS?

Yes. QR code checkout works completely independently of any booking system. A PMS is optional and extends features (e.g. personal guest greeting, automatic pre-heating).

Guest scans the QR code before leaving, confirms checkout — and cleaning starts.

QR code checkout for vacation rentals: your guest scans a QR code on the door when leaving, cleaning starts automatically — and your cleaning team gets a WhatsApp instantly.

Create your account, print the A4 PDF, hang it on the door — done. CheckYout is free forever for 1 property. For 3+ properties, the Plus plan starts at CHF 4.90/mo.

How QR code checkout works

Hang up the QR code sign

Print the A4 PDF or order the wooden sign. Hang it next to the exit door.

Guest scans when leaving

The guest scans the QR code with their phone camera. Everything runs in the browser — no app needed.

Cleaning team is notified via WhatsApp

Your cleaning team receives an instant WhatsApp with the property name and exact time.

Optional: Collect a Google review

After check-out, the guest can leave a Google review right away — one click is enough.

Confirm cleaning via WhatsApp

The cleaner taps a link in the WhatsApp message to confirm cleaning is done. You get the confirmation via WhatsApp or email and see the status in your dashboard.
