PayPal for Vacation Rentals

Simplify Guest Payments with the New PayPal + RentalWise Integration

At RentalWise, we're committed to giving vacation rental professionals the tools they need to run their businesses smarter and more efficiently. That includes offering flexible, secure, and seamless payment options to meet the needs of guests around the world. That’s why we’re excited to announce our new integration with PayPal, one of the most trusted and widely used online payment platforms globally.

Whether you're managing a single property or overseeing a large portfolio, this integration makes it easier than ever to accept payments, preauthorize funds, and generate custom payment links—all directly through the RentalWise platform.

Why PayPal?

PayPal is a global leader in online payments, trusted by over 400 million users worldwide. Its reputation for security, convenience, and flexibility makes it a popular choice for vacation rental guests—particularly international travelers who may prefer not to enter credit card details directly or want to pay through PayPal Credit, Venmo (in supported markets), or linked bank accounts.

By integrating with PayPal, RentalWise now offers hosts and property managers the ability to expand their payment options, increase conversions, and deliver a better guest experience from booking to check-out.

What the Integration Offers

The RentalWise + PayPal integration provides a full suite of powerful tools for vacation rental payment management:

🔗 Seamless Payment Links

Create and send PayPal payment links in seconds, making it easy for guests to settle balances, pay for add-ons, or make damage deposits without logging into a portal. These links can be embedded in automated guest messages for a smooth and professional experience.

🛡 Preauthorizations Made Easy

Hold security deposits or preauthorize funds for incidentals directly through PayPal, helping you reduce risk and avoid disputes. Preauthorizations are especially useful for short stays or luxury rentals, and now you can manage them without leaving RentalWise.

💳 Flexible Payment Options for Guests

With PayPal, your guests can pay using PayPal balance, credit cards, debit cards, or bank accounts, depending on their region and preferences. This flexibility often leads to higher booking conversion rates, especially for last-minute reservations or international bookings.

🌍 Global Reach, Local Comfort

PayPal supports multiple currencies and is available in over 200 countries. If your rental business attracts travelers from across the globe, this integration ensures they’ll have a trusted way to pay, no matter where they’re booking from.

More Convenience, Less Admin

Everything is managed from your RentalWise dashboard. Once PayPal is connected, you can automate payment schedules, track transactions, and send reminders—saving time and eliminating manual processes. Whether you’re collecting full payments, split payments, or charging for extras, you’ll have everything you need in one place.
