Security deposits help protect your property and encourage guests to respect house rules. But collecting and managing them manually can take time and create unnecessary friction.Uplisting automates security deposits across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and direct bookings. Collect deposits before check-in, track payments in one place, and make sure guests meet your requirements before they arrive.You spend less time chasing payments and more time running your properties.
Security deposits give you financial protection if something goes wrong during a stay. With Uplisting, you can automatically collect security deposits for Airbnb bookings, as well as Booking.com, Vrbo, and direct bookings.
Set deposit rules once and apply them across your portfolio. Every booking is protected without manual work.
Security deposits work even better when combined with guest screening. Ask guests to complete identity verification and sign a rental agreement before receiving check-in instructions.
This helps confirm who is staying in your property and reduces the chance of damage, rule violations, or problem bookings.
Security deposits shouldn’t create friction for guests. Uplisting provides a simple guest page where travellers can review reservation details and complete their deposit payment in just a few clicks.
Automatic reminders ensure deposits are paid before arrival without you having to follow up manually.
Start by connecting your Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, or direct booking accounts to Uplisting. You can set a standard deposit amount for all properties or customise deposits for individual listings.
Once set up, Uplisting automatically requests security deposits from guests at the time you choose. You can require payment immediately after booking or closer to check-in. Deposits are processed through our secure payment provider, Stripe.
Automatic reminders ensure guests complete payment before arrival.
You can set requirements guests must complete before receiving check-in instructions. This can include security deposits, ID verification, or signing a rental agreement. If these steps are not completed, access instructions will not be sent automatically.
This keeps you in control while reducing risk.
If damage occurs, deposits help cover repair costs and prevent disruption to future bookings. Everything is tracked in your dashboard so you always know the status of each deposit.
Automatically collect a security deposit from your Booking.com, Vrbo (HomeAway) and direct booking guests.
Uplisting automatically processes a security deposit for guests, no matter which platform (optional) or how they paid for their reservation.
If a guest does not provide a security deposit (either a payment method is not provided, or the payment method doesn't have sufficient funds), they don't receive check-in instructions (you can override if you wish).
Each booking on Uplisting comes with a unique booking welcome page designed to enhance guest satisfaction from the first interaction.
Link to this page in automated messages using a message tag or send it directly to your guest manually. Create a seamless pre-arrival experience that sets the tone for a 5-star stay.
Guests can review reservation details, provide a security deposit, upload their identification (which is automatically verified), enter their real email address, and sign your rental agreement.
This streamlined process improves guest satisfaction by creating clear expectations and building trust before arrival.
Stop worrying about missed deposits or problem guests. With Uplisting’s automated security deposits, your property is protected, bookings run smoothly, and guests enjoy a simple, hassle-free payment process.
