How to pay for Airbnb

Pay for a stay, review payment timing and check booking confirmation.

Updated

Before paying

Check that the service is available to your account and accepts your chosen card. Universal and Universal+ differ in fees and issuing country; the merchant may apply its own restrictions.

Check the card balance allowing for fees, conversion and verification charges. Use Card Details for the number, expiry and CVV, and SafePay Billing for the holder name and address. Keep the service profile information accurate.

Complete checkout

  1. Sign in to Airbnb, choose the stay, dates and guests. Before paying, read cancellation terms and the full total.
  2. At checkout, choose an available card option. Check whether the full amount is collected now or later payments are scheduled.
  3. Add your card with SafePay billing, complete authentication and open the reservation status in Trips.

After confirmation

A booking request and a confirmed reservation are different states: a host response may be required. For scheduled payments, maintain enough funds and check the payment method before the charge date. Refund conditions depend on the reservation and Airbnb rules.

If a 3D Secure request appears, complete the confirmation shown in SafePay, then return to the merchant. Do not pay again while the result is pending. For an error, keep its text, time and amount.
