Why Property Managers Choose PayRequest

Independent from Platform

Your deposit system works regardless of Booking.com's policies.

28-Day Hold Window

Enough time for thorough inspection and damage assessment.

Multi-Platform Support

Same deposit system works for Booking.com, Airbnb, and direct bookings.

Transparent for Guests

Guests see exactly what's held and get instant release notifications.

I manage 25 apartments on Booking.com. Before PayRequest, damage claims were a nightmare — guests would dispute, and Booking's support rarely sided with us. Now every guest pre-authorizes a deposit.
