Show which dates your venue is taken - straight from the calendar you already keep

No. RentalBeam Pro takes no commission and no booking fee - your direct booking revenue is 100% yours. The booking form widget, guest payment workflow, coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, and booking rules are all included. The only cost when a guest pays by card through RentalBeam is the standard Stripe card-processing fee, which is paid to Stripe, not RentalBeam. Inquiry-only and pay-later flows have no per-transaction cost.

No. RentalBeam never takes a commission on your booking revenue on any plan, and Pro adds no RentalBeam booking or application fee. If a guest pays by card through RentalBeam, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies - that fee goes to Stripe, the same as any payment processor. Inquiry-only, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) have no per-transaction cost at all.

Yes. RentalBeam Pro includes coupon codes, percentage and fixed-amount discount rules, seasonal prices, and a weekend price. You can run promotional codes for repeat guests, configure off-season discounts, and combine them with custom fees and booking rules from the same booking form widget setup.

Yes. RentalBeam Pro supports percentage fees built for taxes: you enter the rate (up to three decimals, so rates like 8.875% work) and it is calculated on the discounted subtotal plus your other fees, the same base tax authorities use. The rate can be added on top of your prices (US-style sales tax) or shown as already included in them (EU-style VAT, with an "Includes Tax" line under the total). You can exclude individual fees from the tax base when your jurisdiction does not tax them, and guests see the tax clearly labeled with the rate. Fixed per-person tourist taxes are also supported through per-guest-per-night fees with child age rules.

Yes. On Pro, every booking notification email includes a reply address linked to that booking. Reply in Gmail, Apple Mail, or any email app and your message goes to the guest. When they reply, it comes back to your inbox and is saved in the dashboard Messages tab. Your personal email address is never shared with the guest.

Yes, for venues that host one event per day - wedding venues, party barns, photo studios rented by the day. The availability calendar shows each date as open or taken, and on Pro the booking form takes day-based inquiries. RentalBeam does not handle time slots or multiple events on the same day.

RentalBeam imports availability from any calendar that publishes an iCal feed. Google Calendar publishes one, and venue-management tools such as Tripleseat offer iCal calendar feeds you can subscribe to. Paste the iCal URL into RentalBeam and booked dates show as taken on your website, refreshed automatically at most every 15 minutes.

No. RentalBeam is day-based by design: a date is either open or taken as a whole day. You can collect a preferred start time as a form field, but if your venue runs several separate events per day, a time-slot scheduling tool is the better fit for that job.

Inquiry-first: clients pick an open date on your website and send their details, and nothing is confirmed until you approve. On Pro you can then send a secure payment request for the deposit or balance, and confirmed bookings block their own dates automatically.
