We support three types of booking flows for Hostfully properties. Here’s how each one works:
Booking Inquiry #
- A reservation is created with Inquiry status.
- On Hostfully, this appears as a NEW lead.
Booking Request #
- A ON_HOLD lead is created on Hostfully, which blocks the selected dates.
- The guest is redirected to the Hostfully-hosted checkout page to authorize the payment.
- If the guest completes payment successfully, the lead is updated to BOOKING_REQUEST.
- If payment is not authorized within 30 minutes:
– The booking is closed.
– The dates are released.
– The lead is deleted to disable access to the payment page.
Instant Booking #
- A ON_HOLD lead is created on Hostfully, which blocks the selected dates.
