Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my current platforms and booking engine?

Yes, where the tools are compatible. On the first call we review your setup and identify what you can keep. The proposal lists the connections to set up and their costs.

How are double bookings avoided?

The booking engine syncs availability with Airbnb and Booking.com: when a date is booked on one channel, it is blocked on the others. Before launch, we run a complete test booking.

How do I receive guest payments?

We set up a payment processor, such as Stripe, so guests can pay online securely. The proposal explains how and when you receive payments and the related fees.

Does Sparkinnov manage my bookings and prices?

No. We set up and maintain the website and the booking engine, with the prices, seasons and stay rules agreed at launch, and we train you to manage them. Day-to-day management of prices, availability, bookings and guest communication stays with you.

What might cost extra?

Booking engine or channel manager licenses, payment fees and out-of-scope work. We identify the applicable costs in the proposal. Additional houses and rooms have the prices shown on this page; additional languages are quoted separately.

Can I add houses or rooms later?

Yes. Each house or room you add has its own setup fee, and the monthly fee goes up from that month. If you remove houses or rooms, the monthly fee only goes down after the initial 12-month commitment.
