Payment methods
Payment methods indicate the types of payments guests can use at the property to pay for services. You must select at least one payment method to complete this setup; however, you can specify as many methods as you like to give your guests more flexibility and freedom of choice.
Note: Selecting payment methods in Rentals United doesn't cause the system to automatically charge your guests. These settings simply inform the guest of the options available to them.
