Split Payment Plans
Let customers spread their rental cost across two or more installments.
Category: Bookings & Rentals
Overview
Split Payment Plans let customers divide their total booking cost into multiple payments — for example, 50% now and 50% 14 days before pickup.
Enabling split payments
Split payments are configured per listing. To enable: Open a listing and click Edit Listing. Scroll to Payment Options. Toggle Allow Split Payments on. Set the split schedule (e.g. 50% at booking, 50% 14 days before start date). Save.
How it works for customers
At checkout, customers who qualify for split payment see a "Split Payment" option. Choosing it: Charges the first installment immediately. Schedules the second installment charge automatically on the configured future date. Both charges appear as line items in the booking payment summary.
If the second charge fails (e.g. card expired), the customer receives an email prompting them to update their payment method, and the admin receives an alert.
FAQ
Q: Can I offer a different split (e.g. 30/70)?
A: The split percentage is configurable per listing. Any percentage is supported.
Q: What if the customer cancels after the first payment?
A: Refund policies are determined by your standard refund process. The second installment is not charged if the booking is cancelled before its scheduled date.
Q: Is the deposit included in the split?
A: No — the security deposit is a separate hold on the card and is not split.
