Payment Schedules

Payment Schedules for VRBO

This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/HOMEAWAY > MAPPING  PAYMENT SCHEDULES

By default payment is due at the time of the booking. You can change this to "At Check-in " in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway.COM > SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT.

If payments are due at different times you can set up payment schedules in (SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO > PAYMENT SCHEDULE and link it to your property in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > VRBO/Homeaway.COM > SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT.

If you have set up deposit collection in (SETTINGS) PAYMENTS- > PAYMENT COLLECTION we will send the deposit amount set there to be due at the time of the booking and the remainder if any at arrival.

Listings where guests do not have to pay the full amount with the booking perform better. Payment Schedules allow to set up to five payments.

In (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER -> VRBO/Homeaway.COM > SPECIFIC PROPERTY CONTENT you can set which payment types you accept. Beds24 supports following payment options:

1. Invoice

If you choose "Invoice" you need to enter a description on how guests can pay in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER -> VRBO/HOMEAWAY.COM > SPECIFIC CONTENT "Payment Options Description "

2. Credit Card
