From zero to automated
in under 15 minutes
No developer skills needed. Minimal upfront investment. Just four simple steps to your first automated guest experience.
Is this too technical for me?
You don't need to be tech-savvy. If you can forward an email or copy-paste text, you can set up Staykey. No coding, no complicated configurations, no technical knowledge required.
The reality: Our step-by-step guides use screenshots and plain English. Most hosts complete setup independently without any assistance.
- Screenshot-by-screenshot guides for every step
- 24/7 help center with searchable articles
- Video walkthroughs for complex steps

Actual setup timeline
I don't have hours to spend on setup
We know your time is valuable. That's why we've streamlined setup to take less time than making a cup of coffee. Most hosts complete everything in one sitting during their morning routine.
The reality: 12 minutes from start to finish. Then you save 20+ minutes per booking forever.
- Each step takes 1-4 minutes max
- Pause anytime and pick up where you left off
- ROI after your very first booking
Do I need to buy expensive hardware?
You might already have what you need. Many hosts start with a basic smart lock they already own. If you're starting from scratch, our hardware planner helps you find the right devices for your budget.
The reality: Start with just a smart lock ($100-200). Add more devices as you grow.
- Works with devices you may already own
- Start small, add devices as you expand
- Hardware planner finds budget-friendly options
