Vacation rental payment outside your website

In our offers of website creation, we do not propose any integration of online payment so that your holidaymakers can pay for their stay directly themselves. Why should we do this?

We respect the needs of each and every one of you, because we know that not all of you need such a solution.

However, if this is not the case and you don’t really want to manage your customers’ payment processes individually, we invite you to discover our add-ons allowing you to accept online payments.

Paypal is universally known. However, few people know the possibility to send a payment request using a simple link that you can send by email or Messenger. To do so, you must of course first open or already have a Paypal account. Then you have to go to the Paypal.me website and generate a link (with the requested amount). On the other hand, as a merchant, you will have to pay the Paypal fees + the exchange rate fees which are still around 4.5% and which will be charged to you!

Transferwise is a solution that is gaining momentum because it solves the problem that existed until now: how to transfer money abroad for free or almost free. Like your bank, Transferwise takes care of transferring your money from your account to an account abroad in a currency other than the euro, because obviously the intra-European market for low-cost money transfers was set up by the European Union, so you have to take care of the rest of the world.

To use Transferwise, it’s very simple, just register on their site, which will ask you for your bank details and the bank details of the foreign account. Then it’s as easy as can be, with your phone, you can use the application that exists on iPhone and all other Android devices. Invite your holidaymakers to use Transferwise to send you money to pay for their stay.

Another solution, similar to TransferWise, that deserves your attention is Xendpay. The site is also in French and everything is clear. Many owners of vacation rentals also use this solution to get paid. The first step for you is to register and open an account. This will then allow you to receive money from your holidaymakers so that they can pay for their stay.

TransferGo is a money transfer service for citizens and businesses from the UK (and Europe) to European countries or other countries around the world. Some transfers are 90% cheaper than other providers and you can pay a small surcharge for ‘express’ transfers which can be made in just 30 minutes.

As you can see, there are a number of ways to get paid. Of course, we invite you to offer all these solutions to your customers, because in the end, they will be the ones to choose. The most important thing for you is to receive your payment. However, don’t forget that you must open an account with the transfer providers you have chosen.

There is also the classic Transfer from the client’s bank to yours and the ultimate solution (at your own risk in case of cancellation), to be paid in cash when they arrive.
