Hopper Reservations & Payouts

As merchant of record, Hopper will charge the guest directly for the reservation. Hopper will charge the nightly rate, mandatory fees, and taxes that are set up for Hopper in your PMS & Boost. The host payout will equal the total of the reservation minus Hopper’s commission.Hopper reservations can be viewed from the Reservation tab in the Hopper Host portal.

Reservation Modifications

  • Reservation modifications are not currently supported on Hopper. To make a reservation modification, the reservation needs to be canceled and a new reservation needs to be made.

  • If a guest would like to modify a reservation they can contact our customer support team through the app. Learn More Here

  • Taxes: Hopper does not pay taxes on your behalf. Taxes will be collected and then included in the host payout.

  • Security Deposits: Hopper does not collect security deposits. Hopper recommends that you remove security deposits from Hopper in your PMS/CM (if possible) since Hopper already covers you for damages via Hopper Promise. If you decide to keep the security deposit (or unable to remove it), the guest will see on your listings “A security deposit of xx amount may be collected by the host separately”. If you decide to collect it, you will need to collect the guest card details separately.

  • Optional fees & Extra Charges (Upcharges):

    • Pet Fee: The only optional/opt-in fee that is supported on Hopper is the pet fee (up to one pet).

    • Up Charges: If a guest wants to add an optional fee or additional charge to their stay (eg. pool heating fee, barbecue fee, etc.), the host can either collect the guest credit card directly and charge them for the extra item or you can request an upcharge in the Hopper Host portal.

      • To request an upcharge in the Hopper portal click on the three dots next to the reservation. Include reason for upcharge, amount of the upcharge and any screenshots of communication from guest where they requested the extra charge.
