The integration

What connecting them gets you

How inkSTR works with CraftedStays.

Markdown-native publishing

InkSTR converts every article to clean Markdown before it publishes, matching CraftedStays's own content format instead of pasting raw HTML into a field that expects something else.

Property photos imported automatically

Cover and body images import into CraftedStays's own media library from your source URLs, so they load fast and stay hosted on your own site.

Internal links to your real property pages

Mentions of your properties link to their actual CraftedStays property pages using relative URLs, so the link equity stays on your domain.

Rich property sync feeds every article

Bedrooms, bathrooms, guest capacity, amenities, and your full photo gallery sync in, so articles can reference the details of your actual listings instead of generic placeholders.
