  • Core Concepts » Bookings, Quotes, Inquiries » Payments

    Normally you have one primary guest that rents your property, handles all payments, and so on. But occasionally you have a group that wants to split the payments between several different credit cards.

    OwnerRez does not support this automatically. However, it is possible to make it happen.

    These instructions only apply to bookings where you control the guest payments. Many channel bookings (...

    The OwnerRez system handles auto-cancellation and reminders about payments not received. Services for scheduled payments and security deposit collection, reauthorization, and release services occur at midnight in each property's timezone. The service operates around that time, so it may not exactly start at midnight, but any properties within that timezone will be queued up.

    Gap nights () are a big opportunity to juice revenue. One big thing in vacation rentals is maximizing nights booked and occupancy by up-selling your "gap" or "hole" nights between bookings. You can do this by getting more bookings, but if you can get a guest who's already booked to add a day to their booking, that's a win/win. You can discoun...

    You really need to focus on reducing clicking around OwnerRez screens everywhere, and this layout, while improved, doesn't do that.

    An example to make the point:

    You have a 'Change/Move' button over on the top right side of the screen. Why?

    If I want to change the check-in time, I should be...

    On January 5th, 2026 we sent an email to our customers that currently have Converge as a payment processor in OwnerRez.  Many have written back in our posted on other forums across the internet with questions and concerns.  I wanted to take a minute to explain a bit further why the decision has been made to deprecate Converge as a Payment Processor in OwnerRez.

    What does it do better than hostaway? The app is so tiny it's hard to use, wouldn't be as bad if you could quickly link to individual monthly calendars

    I know about the small fee hostaway charges for direct bookings, and their inbox isn't the best. Haven't been able to try ownerrez new inbox because not yet API connected. 

    I really like that it's privately owned, other than that hoping so...

    Hi Tim,

    You're right. Nothing would be as good as having automatically adjusted payment schedules based on the date of booking relative to the arrival date, no question. I was just hoping that there would be some way to minimize the work involved as things sit now.

    I don't think you need to have different quote templates. I explain different payment schedules to my guests with every quote,...

    4) Way too much unnecessary clicking when navigating. - not sure what you mean - seems subjective

    Just have to chime in on this one, as it is a major frustration for me in OwnerRez. It is not subjective at all.

    By any measure, it takes way too much clicking around to do anything in OwnerRez.

    Just look at Changing Charges on a reservation or quote.

    First you have to click 'Charges'...
