Became a Firefly customer before March, 2024? You might have different default settings. Prior to March, Stripe customers could not choose to pass along their Firefly fee to customers but now you can! 

Passing along Fees to your Customers

If you check the 'Enable custom reservation fees' box, it will disable the automatic Stripe reservation fee on the reservation portal which will make it so that reservation fees will be collected on their monthly invoice rather than directly at the time of the reservation.

 

Doing this will allow you to pass the fee along to your guest, or even customize the amount that you wish to pass along. 

 

To edit the Reservation Fee that you are passing along to your guest, you can go to Settings --> Property --> Fees (tab), or click here for more help.
