A Digital Welcome Book on Your Own WordPress Website

Host Domination Welcome Book runs on your WordPress installation. Create a guest-facing Welcome Book at the default /welcome/ URL, or embed it in an existing WordPress page with a shortcode.

Use:

[hd_welcome_book]

The alternative shortcode [host_domination_welcome_book] is also supported.

Why use a digital guest book? Guests can refer back to arrival details and property instructions whenever needed, while hosts can update information from WordPress without reprinting physical documents.

Create a professional digital Welcome Book for your vacation rental, Airbnb property, B&B, hotel or holiday home – and expand it as your business grows.

Add-on Store External Service

The Add-on Store includes an optional manual “Refresh Add-on Store” action. Only when an administrator explicitly clicks that button, the plugin requests descriptive catalog data from https://hostdomination.com/. The response contains add-on names, descriptions, prices and product links. The Free plugin does not download, install or execute plugin code from that service and does not send guest data.
