Money up front — no chasing payments
A booking without money is just a promise. Anyone who has ever phoned after a bank transfer or been left holding a cancellation with no deposit knows the problem. On your website, the guest pays right at booking — and the rest arrives automatically before arrival. If you prefer to work without online payments: your guests can also pay by bank transfer directly into your account — with no fees at all. For online payments, the payment provider’s usual terms apply — you agree those directly with the provider.
Booking only after payment
A reservation only counts once the deposit has arrived. That way, non-committal enquiries never block your calendar. Guests who pay show up — the deposit separates serious guests from window shoppers.
Three ways to pay, one system
Card payments run through Stripe, with PayPal and Klarna on top. The guest pays the way they are used to — and you never juggle contracts with three providers. Everything is included in the subscription, with no locked modules.
You decide the split
How much deposit at booking, how much before arrival — that is up to you. The remaining balance becomes due automatically, without you writing a single reminder. No more chasing payments.
Receipts take care of themselves
Every payment automatically generates the invoice or receipt for the guest. You also define your own cancellation rules, so in case of a dispute it is clear what was agreed. Less paperwork, fewer arguments.
From the guest’s click to the money in your account — in three steps.
- 01
Guest books and pays the deposit
Right in the booking flow, the guest pays the deposit by card, PayPal or Klarna. Only then is the booking firm and the dates blocked.
- 02
The balance arrives automatically
Before arrival, the remaining amount becomes due automatically — according to the split you defined. The guest gets the payment request by email; you do nothing.
- 03
Receipt and overview included
The invoice or receipt is generated automatically. In the reports you see, per apartment, what came in through your own website and what came through the platforms.
FAQ
- Do I need my own contracts with Stripe, PayPal or Klarna?
- The payment methods are part of your website and get connected together during setup — you need no technical knowledge and never have to code anything yourself. Setup is part of the package: your website is ready in 48 hours, then you test it free for 14 days, with no card and no setup fee.
- Can I set the size of the deposit myself?
- Yes, the split is up to you. You define what share is due immediately at booking and when the balance becomes due before arrival — the payment request goes out to the guest automatically. Many hosts choose a substantial deposit so that only serious guests book — but the decision is entirely yours and can be changed at any time.
- What happens with a cancellation?
- Your own cancellation rules apply — the ones you set up in the system, such as until when a guest can cancel free of charge and what share is retained after that. The guest sees these rules before booking, so there are no surprises later. And the deposit already paid gives you a clear position to negotiate from.
- What does the payment feature cost extra?
- Nothing extra — online payments with Stripe, PayPal and Klarna are included in the subscription from €49/month, just like the domain with SSL, hosting and updates. There is no setup fee and there are no locked modules. Pay annually and you save 17%, and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee applies from activation.
