Collecting payments from guests doesn't have to involve complicated follow-ups or manual payment tracking.

With the Homeyhuts Payment Gateway, you can accept online payments through your direct booking website and generate payment links for manual bookings. Whether you want to collect an advance payment, the full booking amount, or a custom amount, you can manage the process directly through Homeyhuts.

You can also track your generated payment links and check which payments have been completed or are still pending.

1. What Is the Homeyhuts Payment Gateway?

The Payment Gateway allows you to collect online payments for eligible bookings through Homeyhuts.

You can use it to:

• Accept payments through your direct booking website.
• Generate payment links for manual bookings.
• Collect partial or advance payments.
• Collect the full booking amount.
• Request a custom payment amount.
• Track payment links and their payment status from your dashboard.

This makes it easier to collect payments and follow up with guests without managing every transaction manually.

2. How to Enable the Payment Gateway

The Payment Gateway can be enabled property-wise, giving you control over which properties can accept online payments.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Homeyhuts and go to the Properties tab.
2. Select the property for which you want to enable online payments.
3. Enable the Payment Gateway option.
4. Ensure your account details are updated.
5. Click Save to apply the changes.

Once the required account details are in place, the Payment Gateway can be activated for the selected property.

You can also enable the Payment Gateway for multiple selected properties using the bulk activation option.

3. Accept Payments Through Your Direct Booking Website

If you have a direct booking website, enabling the Payment Gateway allows guests to make online payments through your website.

This provides guests with a convenient way to pay for their reservations and helps you manage direct booking payments through Homeyhuts.

Your website can serve as a central point for receiving direct bookings and collecting payments online.

4. Generate Payment Links for Manual Bookings

You can also generate payment links for bookings that you add manually to Homeyhuts.

For example, if a guest contacts you through WhatsApp or by phone and confirms a reservation, you can record the booking in Homeyhuts and generate a payment link to share with the guest.

What Payment Amounts Can You Request?

Depending on the payment requirement, you can generate a link for:

• Partial Payment: Collect an advance or part of the booking amount.
• Full Payment: Request the complete booking amount.
• Custom Amount: Request a specific amount based on the payment you need to collect.

Share the generated payment link with your guest so they can complete the payment online.

5. Track Your Payment Links

Once you generate payment links, you can use your dashboard to monitor their status.

You can track details such as:

• Generated payment links
• Payments that have been completed
• Payments that are still pending
• Available payment details associated with each link

This helps you identify outstanding payments and follow up with guests when necessary.

Instead of manually checking every transaction, you can refer to your dashboard to keep track of payment progress.

6. Payment Gateway Transaction Fee

A 5% transaction fee applies to payments processed through the Homeyhuts Payment Gateway.

This fee applies to payments made through the gateway, including payments collected through generated payment links.

Important to Know

• The 5% transaction fee applies to each payment processed through the gateway.
• The transaction fee remains applicable even if a booking is cancelled or a booking request is declined, as per the applicable Homeyhuts terms.

Please review the applicable fee details before enabling the Payment Gateway.
