Answer:

We utilise Stripe for all our transactions, offering an additional layer of security for both retreat organisers and clients. As we don't hold payments in escrow, this ensures minimal delays and streamlines your cash flow. You'll be prompted to connect an existing Stripe account or create a new one within the listing billing section during your listing creation process. This Stripe account, which is free to open and has no monthly fees, is your gateway to receiving online payments promptly after each booking. Please note that Stripe's transaction fees are separate from our commission and typically range from 1.5% to 3%, varying by country.

Answer:

Before listing your retreat, please verify if your country is supported by Stripe. We are unable to accept listings from businesses that cannot connect to a Stripe account. You can find the list of supported countries here (https://stripe.com/global). We are actively exploring alternative payment options for countries not currently supported by Stripe.

Answer:

You maintain complete control. You can adjust availability, update pricing, and make other changes at any time. We aim to give you the freedom and flexibility to manage your listing your way.

Answer:

When potential clients have questions or express interest in your listing, they'll reach out to you via our secure messaging system. You'll receive email notifications for each new message. For security and support purposes, it's essential to keep all communication within our platform's messaging system. Please be aware that sharing email addresses or URLs directly with clients violates our platform rules.

Answer:

We warmly invite retreat organisers to showcase their offerings on ZenBooking. Our platform retreats span a multitude of activities, from yoga to personal growth and skill development. To be a part of our community, there are specific guidelines you should meet:
