Owner Statements: Edit Existing Reservation Commission Agreement

How to update the terms of an existing commission agreement, which doesn't have published statements or invoices yet, and understand what changes mid-period.

Written by Reynir Óli Smárason

You can edit an existing reservation commission agreement, for example, to update the commission percentage, change a fee split, or rename the agreement.

Editing an existing agreement changes how reservations on that agreement are calculated, including reservations that have already happened but haven't been finalized on a statement.

⚠️ Note: Reservation commission agreements can only be edited if they have not yet been used to publish an owner statement or invoice.

If an agreement has already been used to publish a statement or invoice, you will need to create a new one and change the agreement associated with your property.


When to Edit vs. Creating a New Agreement

  • Edit the existing agreement when you're correcting a mistake, renaming, or making a change that should apply uniformly across all past and future reservations on that agreement.

    • This can only be done if the agreement has not yet been used to publish an owner statement or invoice.

  • Create a new agreement if the agreement has already been used to publish an owner statement or invoice.


How To Edit An Existing Reservation Commission Agreement

Step 1: Open the agreement

Go to:

  1. Operations

  3. Agreements.

  4. Click the three dots next to the agreement you want to edit.

  5. Select Edit.

⚠️ Note: You will only see the Edit option if the agreement has not been used to publish any owner statements or invoices!

Step 2: Update the terms

You can update any of the following:

  • Name — for clarity in your statement list and on the property setup page.

  • Payout direction — who receives the guest payout.

  • Co-host payout toggle — for Airbnb co-host setups.

  • Commission — percentage or flat fee, and tax handling.

  • Reservation fees split — how cleaning, pet, and other fees are split.

  • Properties — add or remove properties this agreement applies to.

Step 3: Save

Save your changes, and you're done! 🎉


What changes after saving

All reservations on properties using this agreement will use the updated terms.


Removing a property from an agreement

If you remove a property from an agreement without assigning it to another agreement, that property will not have an active commission agreement, and statements will not be generated for it. Assign it to a new or existing agreement to resume statements — see Change Reservation Commission Agreement For A Property.
