Only when a camper books through CamperWatch and the payment clears. If we send you zero bookings in a month, your cost is zero. The 5% is deducted automatically before your payout — you never receive an invoice.
Yes. CamperWatch's iCal sync imports your Hipcamp and Airbnb calendars every 15 minutes. When they take a booking, those dates are blocked on CamperWatch automatically. No double bookings.
No. The 5% comes out of what the camper pays — you set the price and receive 95% of it. We don't add a separate guest service fee on top of your rate.
Stripe Connect (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, Affirm, Klarna, Afterpay) and Square (same methods plus Cash App Pay). If you already use Square at your campground's POS, bookings go to the same account.
