Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How fast is approval?

2-Minute Instant Boarding: Move through identity verification and start accepting payments in as little as two minutes.

What happens when a guest disputes an incidental hold?

Incidental holds are documented differently than a completed sale, and that distinction matters when a dispute comes in. A clear folio trail — hold amount, purpose, and release — is the strongest defense, and it’s something we help you set up correctly from day one.
