Frequently asked questions. Answers for ski chalet and mountain hosts, from setup to payments.
Does RentalBeam take a commission on my direct bookings?
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, and that fee goes to Stripe, the same as any payment processor. Inquiry, pay-later, and off-platform bookings (such as bank transfer) have no per-transaction cost at all.
Does RentalBeam support coupon codes and discounts?
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.
Can I charge sales tax, VAT, or occupancy tax on my booking form?
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 VAT (20%)" 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.
Can I message guests from my email inbox?
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 with that booking in your dashboard. Your personal email address is never shared with the guest.
Can I require a deposit for peak ski weeks?
Yes. On Pro, use Request to book to approve a stay, then send a secure payment request for a deposit, balance, or full amount before the booking is confirmed.
Can I set different prices for ski season?
Yes. Pro includes seasonal pricing rules, discount rules, and coupon codes so peak ski weeks and quieter periods can be priced separately.
Can I keep my chalet listed on Airbnb and Vrbo?
Yes. RentalBeam imports iCal feeds and works alongside Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo so availability stays aligned across channels.
Do I need a full PMS to take direct chalet bookings?
No. RentalBeam is a website-first option for independent chalet hosts who want synced availability and direct booking requests, with optional guest payments on Pro, instead of a full PMS.
