Can Air BnB not take Deposits then take full commission payment and let people pay on Arrival.

[Charles92]

I have a customers who want to book for day days but dont have the full amount. They could pay the FULL deposit for the 10 days

and Air BnB take the commission up front. Then Customers pay on Arrival.

Its this now a possible thing we could do here on Air BNB

Hi @Charles92

A key premise of Airbnb is that full payment is taken on booking. This gives you as the host confidence that the guests have the funds and that you will be paid.

To be honest your place is such good value that I would worry about having a guest who couldn't afford to pay for ten days at your place up front.

What would you do if the guest arrived and didn't have the funds to pay you? Or wanted to negotiate a discount.

I think there are other platforms that take a deposit, so if that is what you prefer, perhaps list with one of those.
