Getting paid

Get paid before they arrive — no card numbers on paper

Take the deposit online, text a link for phone bookings, and let month-end add up on its own.

  • Card numbers never touch our system
  • Guests pay their balance from their own phone
  • Every payment lands in Xero automatically
The problem

The deposit goes through one machine, the balance through another, a phone booking onto a paper pad.

A refund sits in a screen that has never heard of the booking. An overseas guest can't pay their usual way, so they go quiet.

Then month-end, and the bookkeeper asking what a payment was for.

The Accommador way

A card machine takes money. It never knows whose booking it was.

Take a deposit here and it's already against that guest, that stay and the right line in your books. Nothing to match up later.

Deposits, balances, refunds, phone bookings, overseas guests — one screen.

How it works

What happens, step by step

  1. 01

    Turn on the payment types you want.

    Cards through Stripe or PayDollar — you choose, per property.

  2. 02

    Take the deposit the moment they book.

    Set the rule once — deposit, full amount, or balance before arrival.

  3. 03

    Text a link for phone bookings.

    They pay from their own phone. Nothing read out, nothing written down.

  4. 04

    Refund against the booking, not a spreadsheet.

    Full or part, in a click, with a record of each.

What you get

What it does for you

Let guests pay in part, any time.

Full amount or instalments from their own phone — every payment lands on the booking.

Turn a phone call into a paid booking.

Text a link, they pay, done.

Stop writing card numbers on paper.

Guests type their own card in. Nothing lands on your desk.

Never chase a balance again.

Collected before check-in — guests pay from their phone before online check-in unlocks, with the deposit already in from the day they booked.

Get your month-end back.

Payments, refunds and fees land in Xero on the right line.

Hold a bond without the awkward chat.

Hold the card, keep what you need, release the rest.

Cancellations that settle themselves.

Cancel with money held and choose the ending: refund it, keep it as a properly invoiced cancellation charge, or turn it into a voucher for a future stay.

Why it's different

One system, not another separate tool

Most tools

A card machine on one side, the booking system on the other, and you matching the two up by hand at month-end.

Accommador

The payment is part of the booking — money, guest and books, one record from the moment it is taken.

A separate payment screen is one of the 13 tools that add up to about $2,060 a month.

FAQ

Questions operators ask

Card numbers never touch our system — they go straight to Stripe or PayDollar, so there is no card number here to lose.

No. Keep your Stripe or PayDollar account and your rates. We land each payment on the right booking.

No. Accommador takes nothing out of a booking; your card provider's fee is the same as today.

Text the guest a link. They pay from their own phone, and it is recorded like any online booking.

The opposite. Deposits, refunds and fees land in Xero on the right line, against the booking they belong to.

You choose: refund it, keep some or all as a cancellation charge — invoiced properly in Xero — or convert it into a voucher for a future stay. A no-show raises its charge the same way.
