🚨 Fraud moves fast. Often within hours of a booking.

And in high-value industries like travel and hospitality, one fraudulent reservation can lead to chargebacks, lost revenue, operational headaches, and even property damage.

That’s why fraud prevention can’t start after a dispute, it needs to start before a booking is accepted.

A few simple steps can make a big difference:
✔️ Verify guest identity and payment information
✔️ Watch for last-minute, high-value bookings
✔️ Monitor failed payment attempts and risk alerts
✔️ Confirm payment details at check-in

At Yapstone, we help businesses stay ahead of fraud with purpose-built payment technology, risk monitoring tools, and expert support.

Because when it comes to fraud, prevention is always better than recovery.

Hidden fees create friction. Transparency builds trust.
At Yapstone, we believe property managers should always know exactly what they’re paying for — and why.

That’s why we provide clear, detailed billing statements with transparent pricing and no surprise fees.

Because payments aren’t just about processing transactions. They impact operations, owner relationships, guest experience, and long-term trust.

We regularly hear from property managers frustrated by unclear billing structures and limited visibility into payment costs. In an industry built on relationships, transparency matters.

It’s one more reason not all payment platforms are built the same.

Not all payment platforms are built the same.

When a chargeback hits, most platforms give you a dashboard.

We give you concierge-style support.

Yapstone offers expert advice, documentation review, and case management help to support property managers through the chargeback process.

Because lowering your chargeback ratio isn’t just about avoiding disputes. It’s about protecting revenue, maintaining trust, and staying ahead of risk.

More ways to pay = more bookings.

We’re excited to share that Apple Pay and Google Pay are now available on Yapstone!

Today’s guests expect fast, seamless checkout – especially on mobile. The easier it is to pay, the more likely they are to complete a booking.

With digital wallets, property managers can:
✔️ Reduce friction at checkout

✔️ Meet guest expectations with modern payment options
✔️ Support secure, mobile-first transactions

As the customer journey evolves, so do payment expectations. Offering flexible, familiar ways to pay isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a competitive advantage.

What would you do if a vacation rental stay left you with a $5,000 bill for a frozen pipe? ❄️😓

That’s exactly what happened to Francois Gouelo. But instead of just paying the price, he turned that costly experience into Enso Connect—an AI-powered guest experience platform that’s transforming the vacation rental industry🚀

On the latest episode of STR Book:ed, Francois shares how a frozen key, a disorganized check-in, and a last-minute ski trip sparked the idea for Enso Connect. Now, it helps property managers:

• Boost guest satisfaction
• Increase revenue with smart upsells
• Save time through automation

Understanding your audience is the key to profitable upsells.

A stocked fridge is a hit for large family trips in Canada. Why? No one wants to waste a day grocery shopping during their vacation. Paying extra for that service is worth it.

A $400 early check-in for a rental in Aspen at first glance seems outrageous. But if you check in at 11 a.m., you get a full afternoon of skiing. Check in at 4 p.m., and your day on the slopes is gone. Ski enthusiasts happily pay for that extra time.

The lesson?

Know your audience inside out. When you offer the right upsell, people don’t just rent your property—they invest in the experience.
