The slug is the end of your guidebook's address, like casa-koba in app.smoothstay.io/guide/casa-koba. Each property gets one from its name, and you can change it using letters, numbers and dashes. If it's taken, we add a number. Changing a slug breaks every link you've already shared, including QR codes and deep links, so set it before you share.

Right after you create the property, before you send the link to anyone or print a QR code. At that point nothing depends on the old path, so changing it costs you nothing.

Yes. Every property has its own guidebook path, taken from its name when you create it. You can change each one separately in that property’s Visibility & sharing settings.

No. Editing the guidebook path is part of every paid plan. On the Free plan your guidebook keeps the path created from your property name.

Yes. When you generate a QR code from a guidebook link, it uses the path you set. That’s another reason to settle the path before you print anything.

Many don’t just tap. They forward it to travel companions, type it after losing the email, or read it out over the phone. A short path also looks trustworthy when guests decide whether to open it.

The path is the address of the whole guidebook. A deep link opens one article, subcategory or category inside it, and is built on top of the path. That’s why changing the path also breaks deep links you’ve already sent.

Only if you need it to tell properties apart. “casa-koba” is better than “casa-koba-playa-del-carmen” for a single property. With two Casa Kobas in different cities, add the shortest word that separates them, like casa-koba-tulum.

Not yet. You can change the end of your guidebook's address (app.smoothstay.io/guide/your-name), and custom domains are on our roadmap.

They stop working. Share links, deep links to articles and printed QR codes all point to the old path. If you change it after sharing, send guests the new link and reprint any QR codes you put up in the property.

No. The path is just the readable part of the address. General share links and reservation links still carry their own security token, restricted articles stay restricted, and guidebooks don’t show up in Google.

Pick one pattern and stick with it, like your brand followed by the property name: koba-casa, koba-loft. It keeps links tidy, makes them easy to tell apart and helps guests who stay at more than one of your properties.

No. Paths use letters, numbers and dashes only, which keeps them working in every browser and messaging app. Write “casa-la-pina” instead of “casa la piña”.

It comes from the property name. A property called Casa Koba gets casa-koba, so the guidebook lives at app.smoothstay.io/guide/casa-koba. For many hosts the default is already fine, and editing it is only needed when the name is long or unclear.

In every link you send them: booking messages, check-in emails, texts and the address bar once the guidebook opens. Link previews in messaging apps often show it too, which is where a clean path makes the best first impression.

Yes. You can edit it as often as you need, with the same confirmation each time. Just remember every change breaks the links, deep links and QR codes made with the previous path.
