# Checkinly

> Checkinly is a multi-tenant SaaS platform for automating guest check-ins at short-term rental properties in Albania. Designed for Airbnb hosts, apartment owners, and boutique hotels. Default language: Albanian (sq); English also supported.

## What Checkinly Does

Checkinly eliminates manual guest check-in paperwork. Hosts create reservations in their dashboard, generate a secure one-time token link, and send it to the guest. Guests fill out an online form (ID details, document photo uploads, signatures, contact info). After submission, access codes and WiFi credentials are automatically delivered via email.

## Core Features

- **Secure token check-in links** - SHA-256 hashed, single-use, expire after submission
- **Multi-guest support** - auto-populated guest cards based on reservation guest count
- **Document photo uploads** - front + back of ID, passport, or driver's license via UploadThing
- **Automated email delivery** - access codes and property instructions sent after check-in
- **Multi-property management** - create properties with multiple units
- **Reservation management** - CRUD with status tracking (PENDING, CONFIRMED, CANCELLED, COMPLETED)
- **Host dashboard analytics** - real-time stats (staying now, upcoming, this month)
- **Plan-based limits** - enforced on property and unit creation

## Target Users

- Airbnb hosts in Albania
- Short-term rental property owners
- Boutique hotel managers
