Frequently asked questions

Payouts flow directly from guest to host through your connected Stripe or Square account. Houfy never touches booking funds, ensuring you remain in full control of your earnings.

Houfy automatically syncs your property details, pricing, and availability from Hostfully, while pushing bookings back into your PMS account — so everything stays connected with zero extra work.

Houfy’s marketplace is free at its core. When connecting through Hostfully, a small API usage charge—kept as low as possible—is applied to guests at the time of booking. This covers integration costs and ensures continued seamless automation, while still delivering significant savings compared to 15–20% OTA service fees.

The API usage charge is specific to advanced integrations. It covers the cost of connecting your Hostfully account, allowing you to manage everything seamlessly and automatically. Unlike a standardized platform fee, it’s a premium cost applied only to bookings from hosts who choose efficiency and scale, and is passed on to guests at the time of booking.

Houfy offers HoufyProtect (a damage deposit alternative offering $20k in coverage) and Refundable Reservations (flexible guest cancellation coverage for guests) to make hosting safer and easier.
