Set-Up Manual Pre-Authorized Payments

Screenshot 2025-09-22 at 3.40.07 PM.png

Before, capturing pre-authorized payments was limited to pre-set automations, which limited flexibility for long-term stays, direct bookings, and failed or declined pre-authorizations.

Finally, you can now manually initiate, modify, or re-attempt payment holds for security deposits and bookings—giving you more flexibility and peace of mind.

Now, you can:

  • Manually secure deposits for direct bookings and long-term stays

  • Easily re-attempt or update pre-authorizations if a card is declined or details change.

  • Add security deposits to existing reservations at any time.
