Setting payment methods for guests
Decide which payment arrangements guests can choose with a booking request.
Paying for a stay
Under Payment methods, determine which payment options you offer guests on the booking page. The basic available choices are Cash and Bank transfer. You can select more than one payment method, allowing guests to make a suitable choice with their request.
This choice records a payment arrangement. Enabling bank transfer does not execute a bank payment automatically. For cash payments, you receive the money yourself at the agreed time. Make clear when guests must pay and what information they need.
Enable payment methods
- Choose the right accommodation at the top left and open Payment methods in accommodation management.
- Select the payment methods you want to offer for this accommodation.
- Click Save and check which payment options appear on the public booking page.
- Where necessary, update your terms and booking emails with payment deadlines and instructions for the chosen payment method.
Keep payment arrangements clear
Offer only payment methods you can actually handle, and keep at least one suitable option available for new requests. Also agree how any security deposit will be paid. When a booking arrives, check the payment method the guest selected before sending further instructions.
Guest payment methods are separate from the payment method for your Homadu subscription. Manage the latter under Billing, through Stripe. Selecting a guest payment method does not collect the booking payment through that subscription.
