Automatic additional charge for one-night bookings

Problem statement:

• Currently, there is no way to automatically add an extra charge (e.g., $50) to every one-night booking
• Hosts must manually request additional payment for each one-night stay, which is time-consuming and error-prone

Current workaround:

• Manually sending a payment request for each one-night booking after confirmation
• Using "Alter booking" to adjust the total, which requires guest approval each time

Impact:

• Operational cost: significant time spent on manual payment requests
• Guest experience: delays in receiving payment requests
• Reduced control: risk of forgetting to request the additional amount

Proposed solution:

• A setting or automation rule that automatically adds a fixed surcharge (e.g., $50) to all one-night bookings
• The system should either charge the amount automatically or send an automatic payment request to the guest

Unlock:

• Hosts would save time and ensure consistent additional charges for one-night stays
• Improved guest experience with timely, automated payment requests
