Holiday rental: request the stay price and separate guarantee

After agreeing on the stay and its terms, a host can request a first payment and later balance through separate PayLinker links. A security deposit, if needed, is a separate card authorization.

Holiday rental: request the stay price and separate guarantee

What this changes

The practical benefit for your work

  • A received first amount can help confirm the stay under the host’s terms.
  • Separate statuses make the stay price, accepted options and guarantee easier to distinguish.

Next step

Choose the right payment request

  • Agree on the service and amount with your customer.
  • Send a payment request by SMS or email at the agreed time.
  • Check the confirmed payment; request any later balance separately.

Examples for this activity

  • A guest pays part of a weekend stay, then its agreed balance.
  • An accepted linen option is charged separately; a guarantee is authorized rather than immediately collected.

Payment steps

Agree on stay dates, price, options and payment timing. Send distinct requests for the first amount, balance or accepted option. If needed, request and monitor a separate card authorization before handover.

A question before you start

Does PayLinker hold the booking date automatically?

No. The host manages the calendar and confirms the stay under the agreed terms.

A useful distinction

Choose the right next step

A guarantee can expire before a future stay; check its exact expiry after authorization. See the relevant PayLinker flow.
