Houfy integrates with three payment processors: Stripe (recommended), Square and PayPal. You connect them from Manage Listings, then Connected Payments. There is no requirement to use any of them — you can invoice guests directly instead, using whatever method you prefer.
Can my guests still send me an inquiry?
Yes. If your payment method is not connected then travelers will send an inquiry and you will invoice directly. From the inquiry you can use the "mark as confirmed" button. This will block the dates on your calendar while you arrange payment directly with the guest. Here is information of what to expect for your first inquiry or online booking request.
How do I add my own payment method?
Just complete the payment information section on your listing to let travelers know what kind of payments you accept. Check off any credit cards and add any additional information in the payment policies box.
What are the pros and cons of Stripe vs. Square?
Here is a comparison guide of Stripe and Square. Once you sign up for a free Stripe or Square account, you need to connect it to Houfy so travelers can book your property online.
