Would love to have the option for our guests to use the link to pay any amount like when two guests split the bill in two or more payments.

Hi everyone 👋
Thank you for voting for the idea “Automatically charge Stripe balance payments (second payment) for US guests on Vrbo.”
We’re excited to let you know that this feature is now ready for a beta phase, and we’d love to invite interested customers to participate.
What’s new?
When enrolled in the beta, reservation balance payments will be automatically charged via Stripe for:
- Vrbo reservations
- Booking.com reservations
How the flow works
- A guest books on Vrbo or Booking.com
- The guest pays the deposit on the channel platform (or, in the case of a 0% deposit, provides their credit card details without an initial charge)
- When the balance is due, Hostfully will automatically charge the remaining amount via Stripe
- If the automatic charge fails (e.g. insufficient funds, expired card, etc.), we will fall back to the existing flow and send the usual balance due payment request to the…

Mid-Term Stays and Recurring Payments
At least 85% of our guests book via our direct booking website. The majority of them stay with us for 2-6 months. They always want to pay for just 1 month at a time, but Hostfully requires them to pay for the entire stay up front. This scares some potential guests away because even though we explain that we can manually just charge them for 1 month at a time, all they see is the huge total amount for the entire stay when they do a search for their dates. When they do book, we are currently having guests just…

Automatically cancel the reservation when payment fails
Currently when payment fails for insufficient funds the booking goes into our calendar and blocks the dates preventing anyone else from booking. In VRBO it looks like a valid reservation. It isn't obvious to the guests or to us that there is a problem with payment so the conversation with the guest continues as usual and check in details are provided. Until I see a vague email from Hostfully saying that a payment failed. It doesn't identify the reservation. Just that a payment failed. If I hadn't been checking my email I wouldn't know. Quite often the email gets lost…

Extended credit-card holds for security deposits
Make Damage/Security Deposits able to be 'PreAuthorized' and not a charge (this scares some guests off), all the way until the guest checks out.

Scheduling security deposit payments
We should have the ability to Schedule. Hopefully should also work with payment systems to negotiate a refund on the transaction fees.

Collect Security Deposit from Airbnb guests
Although VRBO already allows for security deposit collection, having something as well for Airbnb guests would be ideal! Automating a message 1-2 weeks prior to check-in, with a link to an invoice with deposit amount would be sufficient.
It would be up to hosts to communicate properly with guests to set expectations that this invoice will be coming prior to their arrival.

Receipt should display the amount paid and not the reservation total
The receipt should show the actual amount paid by the guest and not the order total. If a guest has a balance left or has not paid for the security deposit, it is inaccurate for their receipt to include this.

Show nightly rate breakdown on payment link
It would be important to have a way on the invoice where guests can see the room rate breakdown for each night as opposed to just the total.

Add New Payment as a trigger for Zapier
It would be great to have a Zapier trigger that fires when a new payment is created, which includes all the payment data in individual fields.

I want to collect the security deposit 7 days before checkin days, there's only booking time or checkin time available at the moment.
at booking it's too early and and at checkin too late... it is our experience

The ability to have Vacation Rent Payment on the property level in Hostfully
We would like to be able to choose Vacation Rent Payment as our payment processor so we can use different VRP accounts on the property level in Hostfully.
Our accounting systems and processes and PMS we are transitioning from allowed us to use our multiple Vacation Rent Payment accts.
As a PM, we would like to continue to offer this service to our owners for direct deposit into their accts.8 votes -
When using VacationRentPayment, allow PMs to accept the bookings before charging the guests
If we use VacationRentPayment as a payment processor, booking requests get charged immediately. However, VRP does refund the payment processing fee on refunded transactions (if refunded within 48 hours). So the guests are getting charged before they have a confirmed reservation.
We need to change this behavior so that guests are not charged until PMs agree to take the bookings

Auto refund cancelled reservations based on cancellation policy
For now, the system only has feature to refund SD automatically. We'd love a feature to issue refund for cancelled reservations automatically based on the cancellation policy set, like other channels Airbnb or Vrbo.

display under the dates of the calendars the price of the night so that customers can make a good selection.
several rental sites display the price for each of the days in the calendar, much less of a surprise for the customer.

Pipeline not showing option to send payment request email until payment due date
If under property settings 100% of the payment is not collected at the time of reservation (i.e. certain percentage will be due x days prior to checkin), then pipeline won't show the option to "send balance payment request" until the payment due date which is x days prior to checkin date. manager should be able to send the balance payment request ahead of the due date and not wait for the payment due date to send the payment request.
