Stop chasing guests for damage money
You're holding it before they drive off.
Bond holds
Never chase a guest for damage money again.
The bond sits on their card from arrival. Take what's broken; the rest goes back on its own.
- Runs on Stripe & PayDollar
- We never store card numbers
- Every hold logged, start to finish
The problem
You're holding a bond on a sticky note.
One bad weekend on a houseboat can cost you thousands, so you take a bond. Then it sits in a cash tin, on a scrap of paper, or in a hold that lapses before checkout.
The guest leaves a $600 burn on the deck and drives off. Now you're ringing them for money you should already be holding.
The Accommador way
The bond is part of the booking, not another job.
When the guest arrives you put a hold on their card. The money is set aside, not taken. On Stripe, if the stay runs long the hold stretches with it; on PayDollar it holds for up to 14 days.
At checkout you take what the damage cost, if anything. The rest goes back on its own, and it all lands in your books.
How it works
What happens, step by step
- 01
Put a hold on their card at check-in.
The bond amount is set aside through Stripe or PayDollar, not charged.
- 02
The hold keeps up with the stay.
On Stripe it extends itself if the stay runs long. On PayDollar it lasts up to 14 days.
- 03
Something broke? Take just that amount.
The real cost, not a round-number guess.
- 04
The rest goes back on its own.
No refund to remember, no phone call to make. And it's all logged.
What you get
What it does for you

No more awkward refund chat
Their money goes back on its own. Nobody rings you.

Nothing to count, store or hand back.
Proof on file if a guest argues
Every hold is logged, start to finish.
Your books add up on their own
Holds, charges and refunds flow into Xero.
Why it's different
One system, not another separate tool
Most tools
A separate payment tool takes the hold and forgets it. It doesn't know your booking or your checkout date, so holds lapse and refunds get missed.
Accommador
The bond and the booking are one thing here. The hold knows when your guest leaves, so it takes what's owed and gives the rest back on its own.
13 separate tools run about $2,060/month. The payment one still leaves the bond as your job. Accommador is $500/month, bond holds included.
FAQ
Questions operators ask
Is my guests' card info safe?
We never store or see card numbers. Stripe and PayDollar do.
What if the hold runs out mid-stay?
On Stripe it extends itself, so a long stay keeps its cover automatically. PayDollar holds run up to 14 days, which covers most stays end to end.
Can I charge for damage and give the rest back?
Yes. Take what the damage cost; the rest goes back on its own.
Is it fiddly to run?
No. If something broke you take that amount. Otherwise you do nothing.
Do I have to change payment providers?
Holds run on Stripe or PayDollar, inside the same system that takes your bookings.
