When you’ll be charged for a reservation using a payment plan

Using a pay part now, part later payment plan to make your reservation on Airbnb may make budgeting easier, but it’s important to know when you’ll be charged. Find out when to expect charges and what happens if your payment doesn’t go through.

When you’ll be charged the first and second payments

If you choose to use a pay part now, part later payment plan, you’ll pay a portion of the total when you make the reservation, and the remaining balance will be automatically charged on the date listed when your reservation is confirmed.

You’ll receive an email confirmation with information about your upcoming payment to help keep any charges on schedule, and you can always check when your upcoming payment is scheduled in your Airbnb account.

What happens if the second payment fails

If the second payment of your payment plan doesn’t go through, we’ll let you know and ask you to make the second payment right away. If you’re unable to complete the second payment within 72 hours, your reservation will be cancelled – any refund for the first payment will be determined by the cancellation policy for your reservation.

To find out when a payment is due:
