You said: use the information on this page to make a very short info explanation to guests booking through vrbo so they can understand ChatGPT said: I can do that for you — I just need the information from the page first. Please paste the text or details you want summarised, and I’ll turn it into a short, clear explanation suitable for VRBO guests.
You said: https://support.hostaway.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/31962349004699-VRBO-Reservations-with-Failed-Payments ChatGPT said: Here’s a short explanation you can give to your guests — if they book via Vrbo (through Hostaway) — about what happens if payment fails 👇
🔹 What you need to know about payment and booking
Even if your booking shows as “confirmed” on Vrbo, the actual payment is processed through Hostaway (via Stripe). If that payment fails, the reservation may still appear active. Hostaway +2 Hostaway +2
Vrbo doesn’t always get live updates from Hostaway — so the Vrbo status might say “paid” or “confirmed” even when Hostaway shows a failed or missing payment. Hostaway +1
🔹 What it means for your booking
If the payment doesn’t go through, the host might need to contact you for re-payment or cancel the booking. Hostaway +1
Until the payment is successfully processed, the reservation isn’t fully secured — so dates might still be available for other guests. Hostaway +2 Vrbo Help +2
🔹 What you can do if payment fails
Double-check your card details: name, billing address, expiry date and transaction limit. Vrbo Help +1
Wait a few hours before retrying — or try using a different card or a web browser (sometimes mobile apps cause issues). Vrbo Help +1
If you’re asked for payment again or get a message from the host, please respond promptly to avoid losing the booking.
If you like — I can turn that into a final “house rules / booking terms” blurb you can copy-paste into your Vrbo listing’s guest welcome message.
You said: make it much short and friendly to guests ChatGPT said: Sure — here’s a short, friendly version you can give to guests:
A quick note about payments on Vrbo Sometimes Vrbo shows a booking as confirmed even if the payment hasn’t gone through yet. If this happens, we’ll reach out so you can re-try the payment. Until it’s completed, the booking isn’t fully secured, so please action any payment requests promptly. Thanks so much for your understanding and we’re looking forward to hosting you! If smoking occurs inside the house, an additional cleaning charge will apply: a minimum of $200 plus $100 for each night of the booking. This fee may be charged if there is any smoke odour, ash or cigarette residue, or any damage such as burn marks.
