How to Add houfyProtect to a Booking Paid by Cheque or Other Methods

Only the host sees this button, and only on their own booking.

When Can You Add houfyProtect?

You can generate a houfyProtect payment link when:

• The booking is confirmed (status shows as confirmed on the reservation page).

• The booking already carries a houfyProtect amount. This is fixed when the booking is made. If you switched houfyProtect on for the listing after this booking came in, the booking will not carry an amount and the button will not appear - contact support and we can look at it with you.

• houfyProtect has not already been paid for this booking.

How to Generate a houfyProtect Payment Link

1. Open the booking from https://www.houfy.com/account/reservations.

2. Scroll to the Price details section.

3. You will see a message: No houfyProtect added to this booking with a Send payment link button.

4. Click the button to open the houfyProtect popup.

5. Click Generate houfyProtect Payment Link.

6. The system will create a secure payment link for the guest.

Sharing the Payment Link

Once the link is generated, you have two options:

Copy the Link

Click "Copy Link" to copy the payment URL to your clipboard. You can then share it with your guest via email, text message, or any other communication channel.

Send as a Message

Click "Send as Message" to automatically send the payment link to your guest through the Houfy messaging system. The guest will receive a message with a "Pay houfyProtect" button that takes them directly to the payment page.
