Frequently Asked Questions

Can I switch between plans?

Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes take effect immediately.

Is there a contract commitment?

No contracts. Pay monthly and cancel anytime. Your listing remains active until the end of your billing period.

What if I want to accept bookings off-platform?

Enhanced tier allows you to maintain external booking systems. Platform tier requires exclusive booking rights in exchange for no monthly fees.

How do platform transaction fees work?

Platform tier charges 10% only on completed bookings. No monthly fees and credit card processing is included - 35% less than industry average.

How does this compare to industry standards?

OpenVenue charges only 10% vs industry average of 15.5% - that's 35% savings! Plus we include credit card fees in our rate.

Platform vs Enhanced: Which is right for you?

Choose Platform if you:

  • • Want automated booking management
  • • Prefer no monthly subscription fees
  • • Want secure, built-in payment processing
  • • Need calendar synchronization and reminders
  • • Want dispute resolution support
  • • Value convenience over the 10% transaction fee
  • • Are comfortable with exclusive booking agreement

Choose Enhanced if you:

  • • Have existing booking systems to maintain
  • • Want premium marketing and visibility tools
  • • Need advanced analytics and insights
  • • Want custom domain connection
  • • Prefer manual booking management
  • • Need video tours and extended photo galleries
  • • Value booking flexibility over automation

Key Trade-off: Platform tier exchanges booking exclusivity for no monthly fees and automation. Enhanced tier provides premium marketing tools while maintaining your booking flexibility.
