Payments

[Sally158]

I have had a request from someone who wishes to stay in July and I said to book through the website but she want to know when she has to pay and I cant see to find out, is it immediately?

Airbnb will take their full payment when they book and hold it until the day after check-in before releasing it to you.

There's a lot of helpful info on those pages which would help get you up to speed on the hosting process 🙂

I agree with  @Allison2

Read up on the Help Centre and the community guides and tutorials on this forum along with the new host tips, but so you understand how it works yourself.

You might want to 'snooze' your listing while you become comfortable with how it works.

I am a new host. I have my first booking for July. Does AirBnB collect for the reservation immediately?
