Currency in Direct bookings is set at the property level and determines how prices are shown to guests and how payments are processed. The currency is set for a property from the first/lead listing at the moment the property is created.
Additionally, Hospitable does not support direct currency changes; changes must be made on the connected booking platform.
For booking platform imported listings (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com), this comes from whatever the platform returns for that listing's currency.
For Direct-only properties, the host selects it during creation.
This article explains how currency works and what to expect when managing multiple properties.
How Currency Works
Each property has a single configured currency.
This currency is used for:
Displaying prices to guests
Processing payments
Recording booking totals
Mismatched currencies across platforms can lead to incorrect rates as Hospitable pushes numeric prices without currency conversion.
Guests will always see prices in the property’s currency.
Hospitable does not convert currencies for guests.
Multi-Property Currency Setup
If you manage multiple properties:
Each property can have a different currency
Guests will see pricing based on the selected property
There is no automatic currency conversion between properties.
Payout Currency
Your payout currency must match your property currency.
This ensures:
Payments are processed correctly
No conversion is required during payout
Mismatched payout and property currencies may cause payment issues.
What Guests Experience
Guests:
See prices in a single currency per property
Pay in that same currency
Are not shown converted values
This ensures a consistent booking experience.
Limitations
Currency behavior is fixed and cannot be customized per guest.
No multi-currency display per property
No automatic currency conversion
Currency cannot change during the booking flow
Important Things to Know
Currency is set per property
Guests always pay in the property’s currency
No automatic conversion is applied
Multi-currency setups are managed per property
Align the currency of all connected platforms for a property to ensure consistency.
Use the same currency for the lead listing and payout method to avoid discrepancies.
Contact support if currency issues cannot be resolved through platform updates.
