How do I set up my damage deposit?

  1. Log in
  2. Menu (top right)
  3. Manage Listings
  4. Edit > Pricing > Rates & Fees

Members with connected payments will have two options:

  • Charge through Houfy
  • Collected by Host.

Members who collect payment outside of Houfy will only have the Collected by Host option. You will invoice your guest directly the same way you invoice them to collect the rental rate/cleaning fee, etc.

Owners who have Square or Stripe connected will see this option.

Note: Only members who use the Charge through Houfy option will see "At Booking" in their drop down menu.

If you prefer to collect outside of these options, you can set up the damage deposit as a fee.

We will most probably edit this article multiple times in the near future. You will need to add a price to your listing to be activated on our advertising platform.
When would a host use calendar pricing?
Calendar pricing removes the need to edit the beginning/end dates of each season. By using calendar pricing, you can leave the seasonal rates alone, and just override any rates/minimum night stays.
