New to Airbnb

Hello all, I am new to the Airbnb system and I have a very simple question:

 

I work with VRBO and when my guests are sending a payment, a notice is sent on my dashboard allowing me to know that they are serious and will indeed be future guests in my property.

 

It does not seem to be the case on airbnb. How do I know if airbnb has receive a deposit?

 

Thank you very much in advance

 

Monica

When the guest confirms the booking, the reservation status changes from "pre-approved" to "accepted".  The money comes to you after soon the guest leaves.

Thank you Matthew

The money is usually released 24 hours after check in.  You receive it depending upon the method you chose.

Airbnb releases your payout about 24 hours after your guest’s scheduled check-in time. The time it takes for the funds to arrive in your account depends on your payout method.

If your guest is staying for longer than 29 nights, payouts for that reservation are released monthly.

Payout status

To check the status of your payout, visit your Transaction History. Once we’ve sent your payout, a “Payout” line item appears for that reservation.

If you have a minimum payout amount set, your payout won’t be released until that amount is met. If you have multiple listings with check-ins on the same day, any funds going to the same payout method will be deposited as a single payout.

Processing time

After Airbnb releases the payout, it takes some additional time for the money to get to you.

The average processing time for each payout method is:

  • ACH / Direct deposit: Up to 3 business days
  • Bank transfer or international wire: 3–7 business days
  • PayPal: Within 1 business day
  • Western Union: 1 business day (US Pacific Time)
  • Payoneer Prepaid Debit Card: Within 1 business day

Weekend or holiday delays

Many banking systems don't process transactions on weekends or holidays. If your payout from Airbnb is completed between Friday and Sunday, it might not be processed until the next week.

If you have any questions about processing time after your Airbnb transaction history shows a payout as completed, contact your payment processor directly.
