The only way it's possible for a VRBO reservation to be confirmed but have no payment taken is if the listing is set to be paid by invoice.
How do I see what payment method is set on my listing?
Go to property settings >
Details > Homeaway details
See what is selected under the
Method of payment
setting. It's either:
- Invoicing
- Instant payment via StripeIf you want Uplisting to take payments for you automatically for you, select
Instant payment via Stripe
.If Instant payment via Stripe is disabled, you must link this listing to a Stripe account - Stripe Payment Processing
How doI take payment for existing bookings on the invoice payment method?
The easiest way to take payment is by creating an invoice on your Stripe account. Do this by:
Creating a customer using the guest email address directly on Stripe
Create an invoice on that customer on Stripe for the amount owed
Send that invoice via Stripe to your guest.
