Today’s question comes from Melody, and it is all is all about upsells: specifically, how should hosts collect payment for add-ons like early check-in and late checkout?

In this episode, we cover:

  • What qualifies as an upsell
  • The pros and cons of using Airbnb’s Resolution Center
  • Alternatives like Venmo, PayPal, QuickBooks, and property management software
  • Why proper tracking is critical (especially as your team grows)
  • How to keep things easy and professional with tools like Hostfully guidebooks
  • Real host results: thousands in additional revenue from upsells alone!

Whether you’re using Airbnb, Vrbo, direct booking, or a combination of all three, we’ll help you choose the right path for boosting your income—without complicating your systems.
