I don’t use payments by booking.com- i charge the guests directly. My former PMS used to automatically charge the guest at time  of booking and i didnt realize hospitable doesnt offer that feature. I dont want my bookeeper charging cards manually which is what we are doing now.

 

What work around options do I have?

Oh, that is interesting. I wish Hopitable could do that. What we do is allow booking.com to charge the guest.

Hi ​@Kimberly Siesta Key Beach! 

Exactly; Hospitable does not currently support automated charging of Booking.com guests.​ When a property is connected to Hospitable as a channel manager, Booking.com's Virtual Credit Card (VCC) data is not accessible through Hospitable (we receive a raw token but can't pull the VCC details yet).

You could take a look at our partners like Charge Automation. They can pull credit card details from a PMS/channel manager and charge through the host's own payment processor.
