How Smoobu, Lodgify, and Guesty connect to Trippz for automated compliance

What your channel manager handles, and what it does not

Smoobu, Lodgify, and Guesty are built to manage bookings. They synchronise your calendar across Airbnb, Booking.com, and other platforms, handle guest messaging, and keep your availability accurate. That is what they do well.

What they do not handle is compliance. Tourist tax collection and guest registration with local authorities fall outside their scope. That part lands on you.

Connecting your channel manager to Trippz closes that gap. Every booking that comes in through Smoobu, Lodgify, or Guesty is passed to Trippz automatically. Trippz then contacts the guest directly to collect their registration details. You do not chase missing data, follow up on incomplete bookings, or handle any of the back-and-forth yourself.

What gets automated when you connect

Once your channel manager is connected, the process runs as follows. A guest books through your PMS. Trippz receives the booking and sends the guest an invitation to register their details. The guest completes their own registration. Trippz handles the submission to the relevant local authority.

For hosts in Italy, that means automatic submission to Alloggiati Web within the 24-hour deadline required by law. If your municipality requires an Istat report through Ross1000, Ricestat, or Turismatica, Trippz handles those submissions as well.

For hosts in Spain, Trippz submits guest data to SES Hospedajes, the national registry operated by the Ministry of the Interior, before or on the day of check-in.

For hosts in Austria and Germany, Trippz connects to Feratel, the platform used by many regional tourism boards to collect guest registration data and process tourist tax obligations.

These countries are where guest registration requirements are particularly demanding, but the connection is useful wherever you host. Any property manager using Smoobu, Lodgify, or Guesty can connect to Trippz to automate guest registration and tourist tax collection, regardless of country.

Tourist tax collection runs alongside registration. Trippz collects the applicable amount from guests based on the rates for your location and pays the collected amount out to you monthly. No transaction fees apply. You forward the tax to your local authority.

How the connection works in practice

The setup process is similar across all three channel managers. You authorise the connection from within your Trippz account, select the properties you want to sync, and confirm which compliance services to activate.

After that, new bookings flow through automatically. Trippz takes it from there, inviting guests to register and handling submissions on your behalf.

You can connect Smoobu via the Smoobu integration page, Lodgify via the Lodgify integration page, and Guesty via the Guesty integration page.

What you still handle yourself

Registration with your local authority, such as Alloggiati Web or SES Hospedajes, needs to be completed once before Trippz can submit on your behalf. The integration page for each system explains how to do that.

You also remain responsible for forwarding collected tourist tax to your local authority on time. Trippz collects it from guests and pays it out to you monthly. The transfer to the municipality is yours to make.
