Practical guide
Collect room and apartment deposits before the reservation becomes a promise.
Accommodation payments are tied to dates, inventory, and cancellation rules. A room or apartment held without clear payment can block real demand.
Crypto can help international guests pay deposits, balances, upgrades, or long-stay invoices without card limits or slow bank transfers.
MakePay gives the booking team a branded payment link for the exact reservation, so staff can confirm the stay only when the status is clear.

Staff need simple wording for cancellation and refund rules
Guide
Why accommodation payments need reservation context
A hotel payment is not just a cart total. It belongs to a guest, stay dates, room type, cancellation window, and sometimes a refundable deposit.
The payment page should make that context obvious so the guest knows what is being held and staff know what can be confirmed.
Inventory is dated
Rooms and apartments cannot be sold twice for the same night.
Guests need certainty
A branded payment page feels safer than an address in a message.
Deposits need rules
Refundability, no-show policy, and due dates should be clear before payment.
Guide
How MakePay fits booking teams
Use links for deposits, balances, extensions, upgrades, and damage or incidentals payments. Keep each request tied to a booking reference.
The front desk can check paid status without becoming the crypto support team, while settlement stays directed to the merchant wallet.
Deposit links
Hold a reservation only after payment is clear.
Balance collection
Collect the remaining amount before arrival or checkout.
Custom-domain pages
Keep payment trust high for guests paying before they arrive.
Setup path
Start with one clear payment moment.
Step 1
Confirm the reservation
Set dates, room type, deposit amount, and cancellation policy.
Step 2
Send the booking payment request
Include booking reference and guest-facing wording.
Step 3
Confirm or release
Use paid status to decide whether the reservation is held.
Step 4
Record the payment
Attach the payment to the PMS, booking note, or invoice.
Questions
Plain answers before you launch.
Can this work for long stays?
Yes. Long-stay balances, extensions, and apartment invoices are good crypto payment moments.
Does MakePay handle hotel policy?
No. The hotel keeps cancellation, deposit, and refund rules in its own terms.
