I have the damage protection set up on all my channels. Which right now, are only 2. Direct bookings and Airbnb.
For my DB's I pass that $13 charge onto the guest total, However, I do not see that charge passed onto Airbnb guests when they book. How do I create the surcharge on Airbnb's end? so that the guests booking from ABNB also have to pay the $13?
Thanks,
Felicia
