Built on tools
you already trust.
UseLodger connects Paystack, Cloudinary, KudiSMS, Meilisearch, Groq AI, and more — all pre-integrated and working out of the box. No API keys to configure, no plugins to install.
Zero setup. It just works.
UseLodger integrations are embedded in the platform — not plugins you need to configure.
Step 01
Already connected
Every integration on this page is pre-configured and running in your UseLodger account from the moment you sign up. Nothing to install, no API keys to copy.
Step 02
Add your credentials
For payment gateways and payout accounts, you add your own Paystack or Flutterwave keys in Settings. Your money goes to your account — not ours.
Step 03
Everything talks to each other
A confirmed booking triggers an SMS via KudiSMS, an email via SMTP, a push notification via FCM, a PDF invoice generated and stored — all automatically.
Example: what happens when a guest books
Guest pays ₦85,000 via Paystack
Paystack splits: ₦80,750 → owner, ₦4,250 → platform
Booking confirmation email sent
SMS sent to guest and property owner
Push notification sent to front desk app
PDF invoice generated and linked to the booking
Availability updated in search index
All of the above happens in under 3 seconds, automatically, on every booking.
