Instantly convert your existent deep links in one swoop
To help ease the transition to Stay22’s Allez product from your existent deep link integration, we’re providing a tiny script that will transform all compatible links into Stay22’s Allez links. Simply copy our snippet from the Let Me Allez script.
Smart Geofencing for TLDs
Note that we automatically detect the user’s location and redirect them to the correct TLD based on their IP address. This is to ensure that you can have a seamless experience for your users. For example, even if you generate a link to a vrbo.com site, if the user clicking is from Australia, they will be redirected to the equivalent Stayz.com.au Australian brand (with the exact same destination and listing details). This in turn increases conversion rates and makes your business more relevant to your users.
Vrbo:
- vrbo.com (US and international, including all languages and currency detections)
- abritel.fr (France)
- stayz.com.au (Australia)
- bookabach.co.nz (New Zealand)
- FeWo-direkt.de (Germany)
Booking.com:
As for Booking.com, the brand only supports “booking.com” TLD internationally, but we do automatic language and currency setting for your users.

The same smart routing rules applies to Expedia.com. Expedia has over 30 TLD’s from .ca, .co.uk, and etc. You’re in good hands 👍

Categories
Certain suppliers have categories that can be linked to along with special parameters. This only works if you are linking using option B (to a destination SRP). Here are the suppliers and categories that we support:
https://www.stay22.com/allez/{provider}?aid={aid}&campaign={optional_label}&address={address}&category={category}
- Booking:
accommodation - Vrbo:
accommodation - Expedia:
accommodation,flight,car,activity,package - Hotels.com:
accommodation - Tripadvisor:
accommodation - Kayak:
flight,accommodation,car,transportation,package - Trivago:
accommodation
If you’re using category=flight or category=transportation, you can also add fromiata and toiata parameters to specify the origin and destination airports. For example:
https://www.stay22.com/allez/kayak?aid={aid}&campaign={optional_label}&category=flight&fromiata=YYZ&toiata=YVR
If you omit the fromiata parameter, we will automatically detect the user’s location and use that as the origin airport. If you omit the toiata parameter, we’ll use the address parameter to determine the destination’s IATA code.
