Important Reminder: Upcoming Fee Adjustment for Casual Hosts

Elle Bell

11th November 2025

We want to send a friendly, advance reminder about the upcoming adjustment to the fee and for Casual Hosts, which takes effect in just a few weeks.

📅 What is Changing?

Starting December 1, 2025, the new fee for Casual Host bookings will be:

19.5% plus GST per booking

This new percentage is a consolidated fee and now includes the merchant fees, which simplifies your financial reconciliation. This adjustment helps us continue to invest in platform security, new features, and marketing to bring more hirers to your listings.

✅ Who is Affected?

This change applies only to Casual Hosts—those who receive payments for bookings as they occur via a connected Stripe account.

Note: If you are a Partner or CouncilPro host and receive a monthly reconciled lump-sum payment, these changes do not apply to you.

💡 Explore Your Options: Save with the Partner Tier
