Let guests pay in part, any time.
Guests pay the full amount or in instalments from their own phone. Every payment lands on the booking.
Getting paid
Get paid before they arrive, with 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
You match every payment to a booking by hand.
The deposit goes through one machine, the balance through another, and the phone booking's card number sits on a notepad by the phone.
A refund sits in a screen that has never heard of the booking. Then month-end comes, and the bookkeeper wants to know what each 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 and overseas guests all sit on one screen.
How it works
What happens, step by step
- 01
Turn on the payment types you want.
Cards go through Stripe or PayDollar. You choose, per property.
- 02
Take the deposit the moment they book.
Set the rule once: deposit, full amount, or balance before arrival.
- 03
Text a link for phone bookings.
They pay from their own phone. Nothing read out, nothing written down.
- 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
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.
The balance is 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 are 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
Is it safe to take cards through this?
Card numbers never touch our system. They go straight to Stripe or PayDollar, so there is no card number here to lose.
Do I have to change payment providers?
No. Keep your Stripe or PayDollar account and your rates. We land each payment on the right booking.
Does this cost me extra per booking?
No. Accommador takes nothing out of a booking; your card provider's fee is the same as today.
What about bookings taken over the phone?
Text the guest a link. They pay from their own phone, and it is recorded like any online booking.
Will deposits and refunds mess up my books?
The opposite. Deposits, refunds and fees land in Xero on the right line, against the booking they belong to.
What happens to the money when a guest cancels or doesn't show?
You choose: refund it, keep some or all as a cancellation charge, or convert it into a voucher for a future stay. A cancellation charge is invoiced properly in Xero, and a no-show raises its charge the same way.
