# Pay at Property

**Pay at Property** lets guests complete a booking without paying online and settle the balance on arrival. When the toggle is enabled, the method appears anywhere guests can choose a payment type (the Booking Engine and the Waitlist form).

***

### What guests see

* During checkout, **Pay at Property** is listed alongside online methods (e.g., Stripe, Nomod).

***

### Booking creation & status flow

* Bookings created with **Pay at Property** are confirmed like any other reservation, but the **payment state** is set to **Pending Collection**.
* The reservation appears in Finance/Transactions and in the reservation timeline with a **Pay at Property** badge.
* When the guest pays at check-in, staff record the payment in the reservation or Finance screen; the status changes from **Pending Collection** to **Paid** with your selected method (Cash, Card at desk, Bank transfer, etc.).

### Where it appears

* **Booking Engine:** Shown on the payment step as a selectable method.

> Once enabled and saved, **Pay at Property** stays available until you turn it off. It’s ideal as a fallback when card payments fail or when you prefer to collect at reception.
