Key Takeaways
Beds24 updates rates and open dates on its own across Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and more than 60 other portals.

Once the link is live, guests can do their ID check, digital signature and payment through a single link.

Properties using ChargeAutomation with Beds24 can typically save up to 30 minutes per booking on payment and guest check tasks.
What Beds24 Covers for Property Managers
With Beds24’s channel manager, you no longer need to log into each booking site by hand. Rates and open dates update on their own the moment a booking comes in.
The platform runs fully in the cloud, so you can manage accounts from any device. It supports pricing based on guest count, minimum-stay rules and a built-in Yield Optimizer. That tool adjusts prices based on demand as check-in gets closer.
The booking engine links to the channel manager, so every direct booking stays in sync with OTA availability too. But formal guest ID checks, biometric checks and automated security deposits sit outside that core layer.
That is where ChargeAutomation typically adds:
Guest ID verification and biometric checks
Digital signature collection
Security deposit pre-authorization with automatic release
Scheduled payment charges
OTA virtual credit card processing
Automated upsell offers
How ChargeAutomation Connects to Beds24
ChargeAutomation syncs with Beds24, so every new booking, from any source, starts the payment and guest check rules set for that property.
Guests can do check-in, ID checks and payment in one flow, not in separate manual steps. Setup is self-serve and free to start, with no long-term contract.
Linking the two platforms typically takes these steps:
Connect the Beds24 account inside ChargeAutomation
Set payment and deposit rules per property
Turn on ID verification and e-signature
Turn on upsell automation
Confirm payment gateway settings
Test with a sample booking
What Gets Automated Once Beds24 Is Connected
Once the link is live, the same payment and guest check rules apply to every new Beds24 booking. You do not need to set them up again for each one.
This helps most if you run Beds24 across many properties and still handle deposits by hand across channels today.
Here is what typically runs on its own:
Fewer manual payment tasks across many channels and homes
The same guest checks across all 60-plus connected channels
Faster deposit release after checkout
More upsell revenue without adding staff
