Typical payment processors charge 3%–4% per reservation. Over hundreds of stays, that eats into profit. Processing fees don’t disappear—they become a major recurring cost. And as rates rise, your bottom line shrinks.
Manual processes slow you down
Manual payment handling is time-consuming, prone to errors, and keeps money tied up until batches settle. It distracts you from growing your business.
Loss of control due to merchant setups and misclassifications
Many managers are set up under the wrong SIC code—like 7011 (Hotels) instead of 6513 (Real Estate Managers). That misclassification inflates fees. Plus, being on platform-managed merchant accounts (OTAs, marketplaces) gives you limited control over disputes, refunds, or funds flow.
Cash flow gaps hurt operations
Waiting 3–5 days for payouts leaves no buffer for owner payouts, operational costs, or last-minute maintenance. It stresses operations and stretches your reserves thin.
