Collecting a security deposit at the verification stage

Peace of mind in hospitality has never been so flexible

Protect your property

Safety Deposits

Hold Card

Enso Connect will place a hold on the guest’s card 2 days before check-in. You will have until 2 days after the checkout date to collect the deposit, after which it will be automatically cancelled. The deposit is held starting 2 days prior to the guest’s check-in, throughout their stay, and is released 2 days post their checkout.

Charge Card

Enso Connect will charge the card automatically and refund the guest within 2 days after checkout, unless the funds have been collected.

Damage Waiver

This is like self-insurance. While we do charge a 7% fee paid by the guest, the damage waiver fee is deposited straight into your Stripe account; just like an upsell. Damage waivers are a great way to save up some money for a rainy day!

Provide flexibility

Did you know that 85% of guests will choose the non-refundable damage waiver because of the sticker shock of a security deposit?

Let your guests choose between a non-refundable damage waiver or a safety deposit.

While the damage waiver may not cover the full damages caused by a single guest; collecting enough of these means you will end up with on average 18 times more funds to cover for damages than with a security deposit.
