Booking Experts collect

| All Payments are made via Booking Experts, so the guest receives one invoice. | If Guests do not pay, you need to send payment reminders via Booking Experts. However, these are automatically prepared for you. |
| Commissions which you pay to Booking.com go outside Booking Experts. This eliminates the need for channel invoices. | |
| It is possible to send a business invoice to the guest. |
Booking.com collect
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| You don't have to chase payment yourself. Because Booking.com receives the payment from the guest and Booking.com pays it to you. | It is necessary to book and process channel invoices in Booking Experts |
| It is not always possible to have all Costs paid through Booking.com. For example, consider the tourist tax. As a result, the guest will receive 2 invoices 1 from Booking.com and 1 from Booking Experts. | |
| It is not possible to send the guest an invoice showing the entire amount as this will be invoiced through Booking.com. Some business guests wish to receive a VAT invoice. You cannot provide these at Booking.com collectively. |
