How deposits work on Roamze
Deposit or full price, your choice
A percent of the trip or a fixed amount, or the whole price. Travelers pay when you confirm their trip.
Into your own Stripe account
You're the merchant. Money goes to your own Stripe account and Stripe pays out to your bank. Stripe's card fee is the only fee. Roamze adds none.
The balance, requested for you
Pick how many days before the trip to send the balance link, from 1 to 90. Or leave it off and request the balance from the booking yourself.
Your cancellation terms, shown first
Write your cancellation policy in your own words. Travelers see it before they pay.
How it works
Four steps, about ten minutes
- 01
Claim your page
Find your business on Roamze and claim it. Free, a few minutes.

Set your deposit
A percent, a fixed amount or the full price, your cancellation terms, and when to ask for the balance.

Confirm and get paid
Confirm a booking and the traveler pays the deposit. The balance follows when you said.
Roamze takes nothing from your bookings and adds no fee to your customer’s bill. We make money from an optional Pro plan ($19 a month, 14-day free trial), never from your bookings. See pricing
Questions

Stripe's card fee still applies, as it does anywhere you take cards. Roamze adds no fee on top.
- Does Roamze hold the money?
- No. Payments go to your own Stripe account and Stripe pays out to your bank.
- Do I have to request the balance by hand?
- Only if you want to. Turn on the automatic balance request and pick how many days before the trip it goes out.
- What does Roamze charge?
- No Roamze fee and no commission on your bookings. Stripe's card fee is the only cut.
