This documentation explains how Hosts configure payments, manage contracts, handle financial activities, and operate payment-related systems on SupaSpace.

Understanding Payment Options

Payment Options define:

how Guests pay,
when Guests pay,
how contracts are structured,
and how financial rules operate.

Every Space uses at least one Payment Option.

A Space may contain multiple Payment Options.

Examples include:

Quick Payment
Pay at Arrival
Installment Plan
Flexible Lease Payment
Milestone Payment

Payment Options are reusable and may be attached to multiple Spaces.

Creating Payment Options

To create a Payment Option:

Open the Payment Options page.
Select Create Payment Option.
Configure payment details.
Configure pricing rules.
Configure duration settings.
Configure penalties and deadlines.
Save the Payment Option.
Attach the option to Spaces.

Payment Option Structure

A Payment Option contains multiple sections:

Commonly used for:

pay-at-arrival arrangements.

Requires partial payment initially.

The remaining amount may be paid later.

Important:

a down payment may be required,
and contracts are not initiated until the required initial payment is made.

Certificates may be generated progressively.

Best for:

leases,
large purchases,
and long-term agreements.

Installment Types

Installment Types control how installment payments operate.
