Multi-leg Hajj & Umrah. Sports tours. Music-festival travel. Multi-city retreats. Sold from your site, paid through your gateway, owned by your brand — without the per-booking tax.
Best for operators running
By the numbers
The product surface
No “Pro add-on” tax for the parts a serious event-travel operator can’t live without.
Pillar 1 · Trip shape
A Hajj loop. A cricket tour. A long-weekend festival across two beaches. One booking, many stops, one consolidated ledger. Round-trip safe — same city, twice, distinct dates, distinct rooms. No custom-field gymnastics. No parent-post-with-children hacks.
Pillar 2
Bundle hotels, rooms, and extras into a single product. Linked coupons auto-apply. Hide-on-cap shields the picker.
Pillar 4
When a guest pays, the totals freeze. Edit the event next month — yesterday’s PDF stays the truth. Compliance gets quieter.
Pillar 3 · CrewPay
Tokenised invite links. Each invitee picks their own gateway and installment plan. No Venmo screenshots, no spreadsheet treasurer.
Pillar 5
Stripe, PayPal, SafePay, Paymob, JazzCash, Easypaisa, BACS. Per-event routing. New gateway? One filter, one class.
Pillar 6 · Ops
CSV / PDF rooming lists per leg, BACS proof-of-payment review, Stripe refund webhooks that update paid_amount automatically, and a searchable audit log that keeps finance and legal aligned.
Pillar 7 · Developer surface
Custom tables for hot paths. Every user-facing string flows through the stay-n-play textdomain. The plugin is shaped to be extended, not painted around.
Pillar 1 · Trip shape
A Hajj package that moves a guest Makkah → Madinah → Makkah-return is one booking with three stops, three rooms, and a synchronised guest pool — not three disconnected reservations.
Pillar 2 · Pricing depth
Pick a Family Package and the booking page filters to bundled hotels and rooms automatically. The picked package’s linked coupon auto-applies, the package fee shows as its own line, and bundled extras render as a green-pill “Included” block.
Pillar 3 · Group payments
CrewPay lets the booker reserve four rooms and twenty seats; the rest of the group is invited via tokenised email links to pay their own share — through Stripe, PayPal, JazzCash, SafePay, or any active gateway you’ve connected.
Payment routing
Region-aware routing per event. A Lahore booker pays JazzCash. A Birmingham booker pays Stripe. Same plugin, same event, two confirmation flows.
Adding a new gateway is a single filter and a class — see the developer docs.
In their words
Quotes from three customers running real events with Stay & Play.
Switching from our custom WooCommerce hack to Stay & Play cut our refund tickets by 80% in one Hajj season. The frozen-receipt thing alone earned the license back twice over.
CrewPay is the feature I didn’t know I needed. Eight friends, one cabana booking, seven separate payments — and I never had to be the group’s treasurer. Just sent the link and walked away.
We had three booking plugins on shortlist. Stay & Play was the only one where multi-leg actually worked without a custom-field workaround. Saved us a six-figure custom build.
Why Stay & Play
Other plugins stop at single-property nightly rates. SaaS platforms charge per booking and lock your data on their domain. We sit in the middle: WordPress-native, owned, opinionated about events.

FAQ
Yes — it runs alongside WooCommerce, but doesn’t depend on it. Bookings live in their own tables; payments live in their own tables. WooCommerce’s checkout is bypassed entirely by the [snp_payment] page and the per-event gateway routing.
Yes. Create a single “Always-on stay” event with rolling-availability presets and skip the multi-leg setup. The pricing engine, packages, and payment plumbing all still apply.
Every user-facing string runs through the WordPress translation API with the stay-n-play textdomain. We ship with English; Urdu, Arabic, Bahasa Indonesia, Malay, French, and Turkish are on the 12-month roadmap.
Core ships Stripe, BACS (bank transfer), and Office (in-person). Companion plugins add SafePay, Paymob, JazzCash, Easypaisa, and PayPal. The architecture is pluggable — adding a new gateway is one filter and one class.
Stripe refunds via the Booking edit screen’s payment ledger. BACS / Office payments are admin-marked refunded. Refund webhooks update the booking’s paid_amount automatically.
