Payments & security deposits
Record payments, fix mistakes, and collect, return or retain deposits.
Record a payment
- 1On the booking, find the Payments card and click Record payment.
- 2Enter the Amount, Method and Type (for example a part payment or full payment).
- 3Optionally add a processing fee and a note, and tick Email the guest a receipt with the updated invoice.
- 4Click Record. The card updates Collected and Outstanding.
- Edit — fix the date, method or note of an entry.
- Void — cancel an entry recorded by mistake. It stays visible for audit. Voiding is not a refund.
- OTA bookings show Collected via OTA because the channel takes the payment.
Security deposits
Deposits are tracked separately from rent, so they never change the booking balance.
- 1On the Security Deposit card, enter the amount (or click Use default) and click Charge deposit — or Waive for this stay.
- 2When you receive it, click Mark as collected. The guest is asked to acknowledge the deposit terms.
- 3After checkout, click Return in full, or Retain for damages and itemise what you're keeping.
Tip
Retaining a deposit emails the guest a damages invoice automatically. Set your deposit terms under property Edit → Policies.Still stuck? Click Chat with support in your dashboard, or contact us.
