BunkhousePage

Pricing

2% of each payment. No subscription.

A bunkhouse pays only when its guests pay online: 2% of each payment, taken by Stripe as the payment is made, on top of Stripe’s own card fee. Every feature, as many staff as you like, and no bill to pay. A month with no online bookings costs nothing at all.

An example £60 booking, from card to bank

  • Monday evening: the guests book. Guests book two beds at £30 a night. A stay of £100 or under is paid in full rather than by deposit (you choose the figure), so they pay the whole £60 on Stripe’s page, and they are booked.
  • The same moment: two fees come off. Stripe takes its own card fee, 1.5% + 20p for a UK card, and BunkhousePage’s 2%. £57.70 is in your Stripe account at once. Nobody sends you a bill, and there is nothing to reconcile.
  • Thursday: it is in your bank. Stripe pays a UK account out three working days after each payment, so Monday’s money arrives on Thursday, and Friday’s on the Wednesday after. You can ask Stripe to pay out weekly or monthly instead. The very first payment a new Stripe account takes waits seven days, while Stripe checks the account.
  • If they cancel. You decide what is refunded, and up to how many days before arrival. Refund them in full and £58.90 comes back to you with it: BunkhousePage keeps no fee on money it hands back. Stripe keeps its £1.10, as it does for any business.

What 2% comes to

A bed each for a night, for two

£1.20 on £60

Two nights for two

£2.40 on £120

The whole bunkhouse for a week

£28 on £1,400

The same for every bunkhouse, whatever its size. Stripe’s card fee is on top: 1.5% + 20p of each payment by a UK card, more for a card from abroad (Stripe’s pricing). Stripe charges it to your account whether or not you use BunkhousePage, as it does any business.

How it works

The money is yours.

Guests pay by card or bank transfer through Stripe, straight into your own Stripe account. Stripe takes its own fee and our 2% as each payment is made, so there is no bill to pay, and pays the rest into your bank three working days later. A refund made through BunkhousePage gives our 2% back on whatever is refunded.

Nothing when it’s quiet.

There is no subscription. Set it up and try it for as long as you like: until guests pay online, it costs nothing, and a month without an online booking costs nothing either.

Fair use.

BunkhousePage is for taking bookings online. Bookings taken by phone, at the desk or from a spreadsheet are welcome beside them, but a bunkhouse that uses it mostly for those, and for the emails, without taking bookings online, will be asked to talk to us about a fee.

Every booking downloads as a spreadsheet, so you are never locked in. Connecting your Stripe account takes one button and about ten minutes: see what Stripe is and why you need it.
