Owner Statements and Invoices are now properly handling calculations for hosts who take Airbnb co-host payouts from Airbnb directly!

Here’s how it works:

  • When configuring our Reservation commission, let us know that you receive Airbnb co-host payouts directly from Airbnb. 
  • On your Statements or Invoices, you’ll see a few new columns:
    • Total paid to manager/owner will include the amounts already paid by Airbnb to the manager/owner
    • Remaining balance due to manager/owner will include any additional amount owed to the manager/owner from Flat fees that are a part of the Reservation commission, if any
  • On your Profit & Loss and, if connected, your accounting software, you’ll notice that journal entries for commissions from Airbnb reservations are marked as paid on the check-in date, while the commissions and fees from reservations on all other platforms are marked as paid when the relevant Statement or Invoice is marked as paid.

 

Let us know what you think!

Happy Hosting,

PS - If you receive Airbnb co-host payouts, and have been using Owner Statements and Invoices anyways and utilizing hacky workarounds, we’d recommend you set up new Reservation commissions and apply that to future months moving forward.

I deep dove into this quite a bit and still can’t figure out how to tell Hospitable that I have already collected the cleaning fee on Airbnb but not VRBO. The most popular cohost payout split on Airbnb should be % commission plus cleaning fee.

Hey ​@Mikey ! 

Am I understanding your situation correctly?

  • On Airbnb, you get your payout directly from Airbnb which includes your commission and the cleaning fee. 
  • On Vrbo, you need invoice the owner for both the commission and the cleaning fee. 

This should work with the way you have it configured, if I’m understanding correctly. I briefly checked your account to see it in practice, but I didn’t see an invoice that has both Vrbo and Airbnb reservations on a property since your new commission (w/ the co-host payouts) was applied to it to be able to confirm with certainty! 

Let me know if you have an invoice with this new commission agreement applied, that has reservations from both platforms, and we’ll dig into it more together.

Hey Emily,

That’s correct! Your two points above are what I am trying to do. 

I do have one client that is Airbnb cohost payout but without the cleaning fee. Kinda confusing
