We are happy to announce that Hostaway is integrated with ChargeAutomation. 

ChargeAutomation is a online check-in tool used to collect Guest ID, selfie, document, custom questions, e-signature & guidebook.

Another powerful feature of ChargeAutomation is the ability to collect security deposit, reservation payment and Upsell during pre-check-in.

You can find more information about ChargeAutomation from here 

How to Connect? 

You first have to enter your Hostaway account and go to the Hostaway API settings or just do it step by step as described below:

 

  • Log in to your ChargeAutomation account here.
  • Connect your payment gateway (for example Stripe, etc) and choose if you want to turn on "Chargeback Protection" feature then click continue.

 

  • On PMS connection window, choose Hostaway from the PMS list.

 

  • You will now need the "Account ID/ Hostaway Client ID" and "API key" from Hostaway which you saved. Paste them onto your ChargeAutomation account.

 

Copy the link below and paste it into the url field in the Unified webhooks section in Hostaway. (userAccountID) must be your ChargeAutomation account ID without the brackets.

 

Link: https://app.chargeautomation.com/api/hostaway/unified/(userAccountID)

(For example: https://app.chargeautomation.com/api/hostaway/unified/12345 please do not use this. This is just an example)



Now you can continue and customize your guest experience & payment rules per Booking Channel & per Property. The last step is to activate your properties and you're ready to go.

 

 The rules you set above will apply to new reservations after you go live. You can also manually share the same rules with existing reservations if you choose to.
