Managing Your Marketplace Balance and Top-Ups

Learn how Marketplace funding works, how to manage your balance, and what different Marketplace transaction statuses mean.

Written by Pierre-Camille Hamana

Hospitable uses a Marketplace balance to fund payments processed through Marketplace, including Marketplace cleanings and teammate payments.

The Marketplace page provides a central place to view your balance, track payment activity, manage funding, and review Marketplace transactions.

Marketplace balance and top-ups are available for US properties only and are not available on the Legacy plan.

Learn more about Marketplace cleanings in the Marketplace Cleanings article and teammate payments in the Tasks App documentation.


Viewing Your Marketplace Balance

You can access your Marketplace balance by navigating to:

Settings ⚙️ → Payments & Payouts → Marketplace

From this page, you can:

  • View your current Marketplace balance

  • Review payment activity and transaction history

  • Add funds to your balance

  • Withdraw available funds

  • View your funding method

  • Monitor upcoming Marketplace-related transactions

Understanding Marketplace Funding

Marketplace funding is used to ensure payments can be processed for Marketplace cleanings and teammate payouts.

Marketplace and Autopilot Cleanings

Marketplace cleanings use a prepaid balance model. Hospitable automatically adds funds to your Marketplace balance when needed so upcoming cleaning payments can be processed.

Teammate Payments

For teammate payouts, Hospitable automatically pulls the required funds before a scheduled payout and adds them to your Marketplace balance before the payment is processed.

Funds may take up to 2 business days to appear in your Marketplace balance after a funding request is initiated.


Managing Your Balance

The Marketplace page includes options to manually add funds or withdraw available funds from your balance. Withdrawals are sent to the bank account linked to your Marketplace funding method.

Withdrawals typically take 3–5 business days to arrive in your bank account.

Why Funds May Not Be Available for Withdrawal

If some or all of your balance cannot be withdrawn, Hospitable has likely reserved those funds for upcoming scheduled payments.

This commonly occurs when there are:

  • Upcoming Marketplace cleanings

  • Upcoming teammate payments

  • Other pending Marketplace-funded tasks

Funds reserved for future scheduled payments cannot be withdrawn until those payment obligations are removed or completed. Canceling upcoming tasks or setting their payment amounts to $0 will prevent future Marketplace funding requests for those tasks.


Understanding Payment Activity

The Payment Activity section shows all Marketplace-related transactions and their current status.

Added to Balance

Funds were successfully added to your Marketplace balance and are available for future Marketplace payments.

Paid to Cleaner

Funds were deducted from your Marketplace balance and sent for a Marketplace cleaning payment.

Paid to Teammate

Funds were deducted from your Marketplace balance and sent to a teammate.

Withdrawn From Balance

Funds were removed from your Marketplace balance as part of a withdrawal request.

Sent to Bank Account

A withdrawal has been initiated and is being transferred to your linked bank account.


Managing Your Funding Method

You can update the payment method used to fund your Marketplace balance at any time.

When you change your funding method:

  • Your existing Marketplace balance remains unchanged

  • Future funding requests use the new payment method

Removing a Funding Method

Deleting a Marketplace funding method is not currently supported.

As a workaround, rename the funding method so it is clearly marked as inactive.

For example:

  • INACTIVE – Business Checking

Renaming a funding method does not affect existing Marketplace transactions or balance activity.


Failed Funding Requests

If Hospitable cannot charge your funding method, the funding request will fail and the balance will not be replenished.

When this happens:

  • A notification appears in Marketplace

  • An email notification is sent

  • Hospitable automatically retries the funding request

If the issue persists, review and update the funding method connected to your Marketplace account.

If your Marketplace balance cannot cover upcoming cleaning payments, Marketplace cleaning services may be paused until sufficient funds are available.


Disputes and Unexpected Charges

If you believe a Marketplace charge is incorrect, contact Hospitable Support before filing a dispute with your bank.

Bank disputes and chargebacks can create additional balance adjustments and may affect future use of Marketplace payments.

I Was Charged for a Marketplace Funding Request I Didn't Expect

Marketplace funding requests are automatically triggered when Hospitable detects upcoming Marketplace-funded payments, such as:

  • Marketplace cleanings

  • Teammate payouts

  • Other scheduled Marketplace-funded tasks

If upcoming tasks require payment, Hospitable will automatically pull funds to ensure those payments can be completed.

The funding request itself cannot be reversed once funds have been pulled from your bank account. However, the funds remain yours and are available in your Marketplace balance.

If the funds are not reserved for upcoming payments, you can withdraw your available balance from the Marketplace page.

Withdrawals typically take 3–5 business days to arrive in your bank account.

How to Prevent Future Top-Ups

If you do not want Hospitable to pull additional funds for upcoming payments, review any scheduled Marketplace-funded tasks and remove the payment obligation.

This may include:

  • Canceling upcoming tasks that are no longer needed

  • Setting the payment amount to $0 for tasks that should not be funded through Marketplace

As long as a future task requires payment through Marketplace, Hospitable may automatically add funds to your Marketplace balance to cover that payment.
