Payments and deposits

Most stays use a deposit to hold the booking. A remaining stay balance is due under the host terms. Amounts show in US dollars.

How a deposit works

  • Each listing has a deposit percent. Your quote multiplies that percent by the stay total. The total can include fees and taxes on the quote.
  • When you pay the deposit, Yall Come Back places a soft hold on the calendar while the booking is pending.
  • Hosts mark deposits paid in Admin when they receive cash, card, or Bitcoin. Card checkout marks paid when the charge succeeds.

Payment methods

  • Find a Place — Marketplace stays always use card. The host must finish card onboarding before you can pay. The card processor takes its fee from the host payout. Yall Come Back does not pay that fee and does not take a stay cut.
  • Host website — Guests pay the method the host set on that listing (card, cash or bank, card in person, or Bitcoin).
  • Calendar stays — The host picks the method for that stay when they block the dates.
  • Bitcoin — When Bitcoin is available on a listing, guests can pay the deposit in BTC with a wallet link. Hosts confirm receipt in Admin.
  • Hosts track paid deposits and upcoming balances under Admin → Earnings.

Refunds and cancellations

Refund rules follow the listing cancellation policy and any Yall Come Back override guidelines. Examples include major disruptions or host cancellations. See Cancellation policies for your home. Yall Come Back does not take a cut of the stay.

Hosting fees (hosts only)

Platform hosts pay a monthly website hosting fee per plan. This is not a commission on each booking. Pay under Account → Subscription. Self-hosts do not pay Yall Come Back hosting fees.

If a hosting payment fails, you keep full access for 3 days. After 5 unpaid days we send a reminder and pause new work. You can still manage existing listings and bookings. You cannot add new listings or take new stays until you pay.
