'''4.1 Future Charges'''
 
The Booking.com Charges API allows setting date-based fees/taxes using '''FROM''' and '''TO'''.
 
'''Format:'''
<pre>
FEENAME=amount FROM=YYYY-MM-DD TO=YYYY-MM-DD
</pre>
 
'''Example:'''
<pre>
AIRPORTSHUTTLEFEE=12 FROM=2026-03-09 TO=2026-05-31
</pre>
 
The fee applies only within the defined date range. Outside this period, the previous value applies.
 
'''Notes:'''
 
* '''FROM''' is optional (defaults to today) 
* '''TO''' is optional (applies indefinitely if not set) 
* Both formats are supported:
<pre>
FEENAME 10
FEENAME=10
</pre>
 
'''Unsetting a charge:'''
<pre>
FEENAME=0 FROM=YYYY-MM-DD
</pre>
 
'''Rules:'''
 
* Charges cannot overlap 
* Avoid using past dates (may cause unexpected results) 
* On import, '''FROM''' is only set if it is in the future 
 
'''Booking.com UI behavior:'''
 
Updating charges may create duplicate entries instead of replacing existing ones.
 
Recommended flow:
1. Remove existing charges 
2. Sync 
3. Add new values 
4. Sync again 
 
 
 
'''5. Security deposit'''
 
The security deposit is constructed of several elements starting with SECURITYDEPOSIT followed by the rules which apply.

Payment by:
 
CASH

Example:
 
SECURITYDEPOSIT 100 CARD CHECKIN-7 CHECKOUT+7 RETURNPAYPAL
 
Guests needs to pay a security deposit of 100 seven days before check-in by credit card. The deposit is returned 7 days after check-out via Paypal.
