Payments by Booking.com How do I get this?
Hello
I have stopped using Booking.com for the payments process and I know that they have a payment facility just like Airbnb. How can I get that payment facility?
They do have, but it's not available for everyone. We asked for it and even got a explicit confirmation that does not work :(
We are normally receiving payments from Airbnb and so far did not have any problem with cancellations/noshows (in fact, there were any – all Airbnb reservations resulted with stays). If Airbnb can manage this, we don't know why Booking could not :/
Also, they are currently updating the service and temporarily blocked new partners from joining this service until 1 June 2019. You may be able to join after that date.

Anyway, write to their finance team and ask to opt-in. We also did.
If lot of partners ask for it, there's a chance that the facility become available for all (who wants it).
Thanks a lot for the June info hopefully
