Hotel Booking Payment Request Highlights
This is an extension for the MotoPress WP hotel booking plugin.
Auto-Send Balance Due Payment Reminders
No matter the booking confirmation mode you use, it’s easy to request, process, and record payments automatically through your website.
Set up automated balance payment requests by scheduling emails: designate the number of days prior to the check-in date to send reminders.
All paid bookings will be accounted for automatically.
Send Any Payment Link Manually
Trigger and retrigger payment request emails of any type directly from the Edit Booking screen with a single click.
Above that, an automatically generated payment request link, which is unique for each reservation, can be copied manually and sent in any convenient way: a messenger, SMS, email, you name it.
Send it anytime, as many times as needed.
Customize Emails for Every Request Type
Create branded “Payment request” emails for every payment request type to send to your clients using fully customizable templates. Tags used in emails will dynamically generate amounts to be paid.
Personalize emails with even more handy macros, state your policy, including any promo info, coupons, etc. Once the payment is made by the guest, it is automatically recorded and automatic notifications are sent.
You are free to add multiple recipients of admin notifications.
Receive Seamless Payments through Your Website
Clicking the payment request link takes your client to a secure checkout page on your website. This page clearly displays their booking details, payment history details, and the available payment options you offer.
They can then choose their preferred payment gateway from those you’ve enabled through the Hotel Booking plugin. All payment information is securely captured and stored in your database for easy record-keeping.
Track All Requests & Payments
Thanks to the automated log records, you can track all requests sent, automatic or manual, and payments received for every booking.
The plugin automatically records actions on each booking to help you optimize your workflow with every client. Changes of a booking status, the remaining balance, the paid amount – this add-on brings all range of tools to help you keep records effortlessly.
Get Flexible with Custom Payment Requests
Regularly adding unpaid bookings through the backoffice? Need more manual payment control? Create custom payment requests for selected bookings with these three options:
- Deposit: Send a deposit payment request with a click (based on your deposit settings in the core plugin).
- Percentage: Request a specific percentage of the total booking cost.
- Fixed: Set a flat fee for guests to pay upfront.
Get the full or partial amount upfront with ease!
How the Hotel Booking Payment Request Add-on Works for Different Confirmation Modes
The Hotel Booking Request Payment add-on brings more flexibility to all booking confirmation modes. Follow-up payment reminders are sent only in case the status of a booking is “Confirmed”. If you opt for manual link sending for individual bookings, you can disable automatic payment requests via the Edit booking menu.
Are your bookings confirmed manually by admin?
Once the booking request is placed by the potential guest and you change its status to “Confirmed” manually, you can send the payment request link right away at the touch of the button in the Edit booking menu using your preferred type of a payment request (balance due, deposit, or a custom amount). If you opt-out of manual sending, the payment request link will be emailed automatically in a designated time frame before the arrival date based on your add-on settings.
Are your bookings confirmed by customers via email?
Bookings confirmed by customers via email are set to “Confirmed” automatically. The balance payment request link is sent automatically in a set number of days prior to check-in. You can optionally send the payment link manually with a button click for each booking using your preferred payment request type. When opting for manual links, make sure to disable automatic ones.
Are your bookings confirmed upon a deposit payment?
Once a deposit payment is made, the booking is confirmed automatically. The remaining balance due request link is sent in a designated number of days before arrival automatically. You can optionally send the payment link manually with a button click for each booking. When opting for manual links, make sure to disable automatic ones.
Hotel Booking Request Payment add-on brings more flexibility to all confirmation modes. Automatic follow-up reminders are sent only in case the status of booking is “Confirmed”.
Requirements:
- Hotel Booking plugin 4.0.0 or greater.

I would like to know if my case would work for this plugin.
I am using the main booking plugin, but I would like to ‘pre-approve’ all bookings before taking a deposit.
For example:
User requests to book a property for dates
I receive the request and speak to them.
I agree that they can stay at the property, so I now wish to send them a link to pay a 20% deposit.
This plugin will send the user an email to request payment.
Once the user pays the 20% the property is then marked as booked/not available.
Is this how this plugin works? please and thank you
Hi Sam, this plugin allows sending email for the bookings with the Confirmed status only. So you need to approve the booking first and then send a notification with the payment link by using this add-on. Nevertheless, the booking with Pending status also blocks the dates so other guest can not book the same property for the same dates if you have a pending reservation request.
Good day.
Can the payment request use the booking date i.e., request a deposit payment 2 days/48 hours after the booking datetime?
regards
The Payment Request add-on allows to trigger sending of the email depending on the check-in day. For example send a message in 1,2,7, any number of days before check-in. You may watch the video on the current product page to learn how it works.
Hi,
I’m looking for the possibility to send a reminder two days before the reservation (the reservation is paid in advance). Does this plugin support that?
Thanks,
Regards
This plugin allows to send 1 notification before the check-in date. It is mainly used for sending a payment link to pay for the booking before arrival. If you need an add-on for reminders I recommend taking a look at https://motopress.com/products/hotel-booking-notifier/
In my particular case, customer, first pay a deposit of 20% via WEB to reserve, and in all cases pay the rest in HOTEL. ¿its posible not sent email to payment request to charge the remaining in deposit?. Thanks
Hi Jose, you may simply disable the option not to send the emails automatically or disable this plugin if the rest of the amount is paid on the arrival.
Does it work with divi?
This is an add-on for sending a message with payment links so it does not have anything in common with Divi. As for the Hotel Booking plugin so it is compatible with the Divi theme.
We use the deposit method for bookings requiring 2 separate payments, but closer to the time we also want to take a refundable security deposit of $500 which must be paid via bank transfer. Is there any way to add this automatically to each booking so we can track that third payment is also made and the booking won’t show fully paid until the confirmation of that deposit?
Hi Carmen, unfortunately, there is no possibility to charge a security damage deposit yet. As for Bank Transfer so it is a half manual payment gateway so you will need to add Payment manually on the site when you receive it ay your back account.
Hello I use this plug in and every time payment is cancelled or fail it keep generating new payment pending text, how do I fix?
Hi Diana, You may contact our support team to describe the case as detailed as it is possible. We will do our best to help you sort this out.
I need to have booking confirmation mode set to By Admin Manually AND require a 50% deposit. How do I do this? We have installed: Hotel Booking, Hotel booking & Elementor Integration, Hotel Booking Notifier, Hotel Booking Payment Request, and Hotel Booking WooCommerce Payments.
I had thought to do it via payment request, but that is requiring FULL amount, which surprises me that there is not an option to request a percentage or dollar amount. I thought about using a WooCommerce Deposits plugin, but I don’t think it will work because it’s built into the product and they are not checking out. What are my options here? Thank You. =)
Hi, thanks for your question. The deposit type of charge works with the confirmation mode ‘upon online payment’ only. We have this request in our list of features so I’ve added your vote to this task. We will notify you when we have any news on this.
Hello guys, are you planning to add this feature soon?
I am using your plugin through Bellevue theme. Great work!
Hi, thanks for your feedback. We have this request in our list of features, however, there are no exact date when it can be added to the plugin. We will notify you when we have any news.
Hi there, we are delighted to let you know that we have recently released the Payment Request addon v. 2.0.0 with the ability to create more types of payment requests: deposit-based, of any fixed amount, or a percentage of the booking value. Feel free to update the plugin to get this feature
Hi.
I use confirmation by admin.
When I sent a payment request, the full payment is requested while I have configured a deposit.
Why ?
Hi Johann, Thanks for your question. The deposit is applied for confirmation mode upon payment only. As for the Payment Request so it charges the remaining amount that is not paid yet. Since any amount is paid, it requires to pay all 100%. Let me know if you have any further questions.
