FAQ

Questions, answered

Can't find your answer?

How long until the money reaches my bank account?

Payouts are scheduled 3 business days after the guest pays. For future stays, funds are released from check-in unless early payouts are switched on. You can be paid weekly, monthly, or into a TurnStay wallet.

Can I be paid in US dollars into my USD account?

Yes. Payouts go out in all supported currencies, including USD. Add the matching bank account.

Are there any fees besides my card rate?

Your rate, any currency conversion and who covers the card cost are set before a guest pays.

Who pays the card fee, me or my guest?

You choose. If your guest covers it, the checkout shows it before they pay.

Do I need a website integration?

No. Send a payment link by email or WhatsApp and your guest pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer.

Do you accept American Express and OTA virtual cards?

Yes. American Express is on checkout, and virtual cards from Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda can be switched on for your account.

Can I pay suppliers from my TurnStay wallet?

Yes, with Treasury. Save beneficiaries and pay them in the currency they invoice.

Do you integrate with my PMS or booking engine?

Hostfully and Oracle OPERA, live today. Platforms can use our API and developer docs.

Is TurnStay secure?

Yes. TurnStay is PCI DSS v4.0.1 compliant, uses 3D Secure on every card payment, and is a Third Party Payment Provider sponsored by Nedbank.
