Set up how you get paid

Chapter 04 · 4 min

Getting paid has two halves in Stay N Host: payment channels (the ways a guest can pay - bank transfer, a wallet, cash at the desk) and bank accounts (the actual account details a quotation prints so the guest knows where to send money). Set both up once and every quote you send is complete automatically.

Enable your payment channels

1. Open Settings → Payment channels. Your country seeded a starting set - switch each rail on or off to match how you really accept money.

   

2. Add your own channels if a rail you use isn’t listed: give it a label and choose which treasury account it settles into. It behaves like any built-in rail from then on.

3. Leave the rest off. A disabled channel never appears on a quote, so guests are never offered a way to pay that you can’t receive.

Add the bank details your quotations print

1. Open Bank Accounts (sidebar → Revenue). Click Add bank account and enter the account name, number/IBAN, and bank exactly as a guest should copy them.

   

2. Assign it to properties. Each property can print its own account - useful when different owners’ units settle to different accounts. A property without its own assignment uses your default.

Why this lives under Revenue, not Settings

Bank accounts are working data - you’ll add and reassign them as your portfolio grows - so they live with the money screens. Settings holds the on/off switches.

How a guest actually pays

Stay N Host doesn’t charge cards. The guest pays you directly - a transfer to the printed account, a wallet, cash - and uploads a proof screenshot on their quote link. Your team verifies it against the amount due, and only that verification moves the booking forward. The full flow is in Your first booking.
