Payment providers
You enable and configure payment under Settings → Payments. Bank Transfer and Mollie are the methods you turn on, and who collects the money decides how it is routed. In marketplace mode you can also have the owner take their share as cash on arrival instead of by transfer.
Bank transfer
Section titled “Bank transfer”Bank transfer is the primary, production-ready method. Turn on Enable Bank Transfer, then fill in:
-
Account holder, IBAN, and BIC / SWIFT — the account guests pay into. These are required before bank-transfer payments can be requested; the console warns you if they’re incomplete.
-
Down payment (percentage) — how much of the total the deposit is.
-
Three day fields decide when each leg falls due. Each one names the date it counts from:
- Down payment due (days after booking) counts forward from the day the booking is created. If you take no down payment, it sets the due date of the full amount.
- Down payment at the latest (days before check-in) counts backwards from arrival and caps the field above, so a booking made shortly before check-in still has to pay before the guest arrives.
- Balance due (days before check-in) counts backwards from arrival.
No due date is ever put in the past — a last-minute booking simply falls due immediately. (Under a marketplace split, the down payment percentage is locked to your commission rate.)
The Payment reference prefix (default P) is used to build the reference
guests quote on their transfer.
What the guest sees
Section titled “What the guest sees”For each pending bank-transfer leg, Reynt shows the guest payment instructions: the reference, the amount, the due date, your bank details, and an EPC QR code (“Scan to pay”) they can scan with their banking app. Guests also receive these by email — see Notifications and email.
Confirming receipt
Section titled “Confirming receipt”Bank transfers arrive out-of-band, so you confirm them yourself. On the Payment card of a booking, or on the Payments detail page:
- Mark as Paid records a full leg as received.
- Record payment records a partial amount or a top-up (see Partial payments and refunds).
- When you owe money back, the Open refunds card lists undischarged refunds with a Mark as refunded action — record it after you’ve wired the money.
Mollie
Section titled “Mollie”Guests pay through a hosted Mollie checkout — card, iDEAL, Bancontact and the other methods your Mollie account has enabled. The money goes straight to your own Mollie organization — Reynt never holds your guests’ money and is not a party to the payment; it only creates the payment on your behalf.
Connect your Mollie organization
Section titled “Connect your Mollie organization”Under Settings → Payments, use the Mollie connection card:
- Connect Mollie sends you to Mollie to authorize Reynt. If you don’t have a Mollie account yet, create one there first.
- Come back and the card shows your Organization and Payment profile,
with a status:
- Ready — Mollie payments can be offered.
- Awaiting Mollie — connected, but Mollie has not cleared the account to accept payments yet. Finish the remaining steps in your Mollie dashboard, then hit Re-check status.
- Not finished — a connection was started but never completed. Connect again.
- Turn on Accept Mollie payments. This requires a connected organization that can actually accept payments.
If the card says Mollie is not set up on this installation, no Mollie Connect app is configured for the platform — that is nothing you can fix from here; ask your platform administrator.
Disconnecting stops new bookings from being paid through Mollie. Payments already made are unaffected and stay with your Mollie organization.
When the guest gets the payment link
Section titled “When the guest gets the payment link”When the payment link is sent controls timing:
- Immediately — the guest gets the link as soon as the booking is published.
- Closer to arrival — the link is held back until a set number of days before arrival, which is useful for bookings made far in advance. Set Days before arrival alongside it; availability is checked hourly.
Unlike bank transfer, you do not confirm Mollie payments yourself — Mollie tells Reynt when the money arrives and the booking’s payment state updates on its own. Refunds are likewise executed against Mollie rather than recorded after a manual wire.
In marketplace mode
Section titled “In marketplace mode”Whose Mollie organization each leg lands on follows who collects the money — the Mollie rail carries out that answer rather than restating it:
| Who collects | Where the money goes |
|---|---|
| Everything to you | The guest pays the whole booking in one checkout, into your Mollie account. |
| Everything to the owner | The whole booking goes to the owner’s Mollie account; you invoice your commission separately. |
| Split | Two online payments: your commission to your account at booking, the rest to the owner’s before arrival. The owner needs their own Mollie account. |
| Split, with the owner takes their share in cash | Your commission is paid online at booking; the guest pays the owner the rest in cash at check-in. The owner needs no Mollie account. |
An individual owner can be on a different one of these to your default — see Payment terms for one owner.
Test payments (demo mode)
Section titled “Test payments (demo mode)”Test payments is a rail that moves no money: the guest settles the whole booking by clicking once on a checkout page Reynt hosts for you. It needs no credentials and no bank details, and every charge, receipt and refund is recorded in the ledger exactly like a real one — so invoices, modifications and settlement all behave normally.
It is not a way to take payments. While it is on, your storefront serves nobody: the public sees a maintenance page, and you reach your own site through the console. That is what makes it safe to switch on, and it is why the go-live checklist asks you to leave demo mode rather than to configure payments.
Turn it on from the Go live page rather than here — the card there also adds the example content that gives you something to book. See Demo mode.
What guests can pay with
Section titled “What guests can pay with”Guests are offered whichever method applies to the booking. With bank transfer they get payment instructions and a QR code; with Mollie they get a hosted checkout link; and when the owner takes their share in cash, the owner’s balance is instead collected on arrival — there’s no separate configuration for it, it follows from how that booking is settled.
Which one applies is decided per booking, from that listing’s owner’s payment terms where they have their own, and otherwise from your default.
