Start Date
This is the date the rental starts, or the Check-In Date.

End Date
This is the Day Before the rental ends. This is because it is the last billable night of the rental period.

Rental Rate
This is the rate you will charge for this period. For Daily Rentals this is your Daily Fee or Daily Rent. For Weekly Rentals this is the Weekly Fee or Weekly Rent.

Example: If your daily fee is $145.00, enter 145.00. If your weekly rate is $1250.00 enter 1250.00. This will populate your entire year at this rate. So if you enter 145.00 for the Rental Rate your calendar will show $145.00 for each day of this year. If you enter 1250.00 for your Weekly Rental Rate the calendar will show $1250.00 for all 52 weeks of the year.

The first time you set up your schedule, it will populate the entire year. You may then come back to change any day or week to a rate you desire. So be sure to use your MOST Common rate to make the least amount of changes.

Fees
This is for extra fees you may be charging your guest. Fees for cleaning, processing, management fees or what ever you happen to charge for can go here. You may leave it at 0 if you do not charge an extra fee.

Example: You charge $125 for a cleaning fee on every booking. Enter the name of Fee 1. You enter 125.00 in Fee 1. You also charge $25 processing fee for each booking, Enter the name of Fee 2, so you enter 25.00 in Fee 2. So each booking would now be charged an additional $150 to cover your extra fees. If you do not have extra fees, leave these at $0.

Tax Rate
Different areas have different Tax Rates. Enter your Tax Rate here. You are given two entries to help you track up to 2 different tax rates. If your county charges 7% and your state charges 4% you could enter .07 for the Tax Rate 1 and .04 for Tax Rate 2. You could also just enter 11% in the Tax Rate 1. It is up to you how you track your taxes.

All fees are taxed at the rate you enter UNLESS you click the non taxable button.

Example: Your Tax Rate for your county is 5.5%. You also have a state tax rate of 4%. You decide to track this individually. You would enter .055 in Tax Rate 1 and enter .04 in Tax Rate 2. Your other option is to enter .095 in Tax Rate 1. It is up to you.

Security
Enter the amount of your refundable Security Deposit.

Dollars should be written with the dollar as well as the decimal and cent value, written as:

$999.95 or $999.00

Check-In Time
This is the time you allow the guest to arrive at the unit. This will be posted on the lease.

Example: Since you must allow your cleaning crew time to clean your unit, you ask that your guest do not arrive until 3 pm. Select 3 pm from the drop down menu. Hint: Be sure you are picking PM and not AM.

Check-Out Time
This is the time your guest must leave the unit. This will be posted on the lease.

Example: You want your guest to leave the unit at 10am so your cleaning crew has time to get your unit ready by your desired check in time. Select 10am from the drop down menu. Hint: Be sure you are picking AM and not PM.

Number of Payments
The system gives you the option of taking your full rent and all other fees at once or breaking it up over 2 payments. You decide which is best for you.1 Payment Option. If you pick "1" the system will ask for the Total Due at the time you choose in Payment 1 Due menu.

Example: Your Total Due is $1250.00. You choose "1" as your Number of Payments. So your Payment 1 Amount will be $1250.00 and now you have to choose when you want your payment. The drop down menu "Payment 1 Due" gives you many options. It lets you decide between "Due Now" (at time of booking) to "Within 5 days", "Within 10 days", "90 Days Before", "60 Days Before", "Check-in" and all the way up to due at "Check-out". These options give you the flexibility to decide when you want your rent paid.

Payment Amount
This is the amount you want first. If you choose only one payment it will be your Total Due. If you choose a 2 payment method, you can make Payment 1 any amount you desire.Hint: On the 2 payment system, most owners will choose Payment 1 as the amount for the Security Deposit. Then they will ask for the balance some time before the guest arrives at the unit.

Payment Due
This is when the first payment is due. You will use the drop down menu to decide when it is due.

Payment Type
There are 3 options for this. Checks, Credit Cards and Paypal. The system will default to Checks if you have not entered your Authorize.net, Secure Pay Merchant ID or your PayPal email, into your Administration section. If you enter your Merchant ID or your Paypal email then the system recognizes that you have the ability to take credit cards or PayPal. Now you can tell the system which form of payment you want to take for each payment.

Example: You have applied for and received a Authorize.net or Secure Pay Merchant Account ID. (You can access this information and apply for this on the OWNERS FEATURES page.) Now you have the ability to accept credit cards. You decide to take 2 payments for your rentals. You set the first payment equal to your security deposit of $250.

You ask for that on a credit card at the time of booking. That let's you know the guest is serious and wants your unit. They complete the online transaction.

Then you ask for the balance of the rent to be mailed to your address "60 Days Before Check-in". This will allow plenty of time for you to find another guest IF the first one does not fulfill their obligations. Hint: This will allow you to have a complete online booking in real time with the least amount of fees. The small fee you will pay on the first payment is worth knowing the guest is booking your unit. You will not have any fees when they mail you the larger balance of the rent by check.
