Get guests to pay the local fee without chasing them down

Turn it on once per accommodation — Best Guest then calculates the exact amount on every closed reservation and sends the guest a QR code to scan, plus a PayPal, Revolut, or Wise link too if you've added one.

Guest Payments

How It Works

From the calculated amount to a completed payment — no manual currency conversion, no typing out an account number.

1

Turn on QR collection and add your account

In your accommodation settings, turn on local-fee collection via QR code and add the account number (IBAN) guests should pay into. PayPal, Revolut, and Wise are optional extras.

2

Best Guest calculates the exact amount

The same calculation used for your municipality report — no gap between what the guest owes and what you file.

3

The guest gets a scannable QR code

When the reservation closes, Best Guest sends the primary guest a payment QR code in the format that matches their nationality: Czech QR Platba for Czech guests, Slovak PAY by square for Slovak guests, and the pan-European EPC standard for everyone else.

4

PayPal, Revolut, or Wise as an option

If you've added your PayPal.me, Revolut.me, or Wise link, Best Guest turns it into a link for the guest with the amount and currency already filled in — one tap, nothing to retype.

5

You confirm it, the guest gets a receipt

Once you mark the payment received, the guest sees a receipt instead of a payment prompt.

What's Included

What Best Guest handles for you:

  • ✓ Automatic QR format selection based on the main guest's nationality (Czech QR Platba, Slovak PAY by square, pan-European EPC)
  • ✓ Currency conversion for foreign guests, with the exchange rate used shown transparently
  • ✓ Optional PayPal, Revolut, and Wise links with the amount and currency pre-filled
  • ✓ Bank account / IBAN always available as a fallback, with one-tap copy
  • ✓ Paid-status tracking — once you confirm payment, the guest sees a receipt instead of a payment prompt

Benefits

Get paid sooner, with no chasing

The guest can pay right at check-in or check-out instead of waiting on an email, or handing over cash at a front desk nobody staffs.

The exact amount you owe the municipality

What the guest pays is the same calculation as your report — no gap to reconcile later.

Works for foreign guests too

Whether the guest is Czech, Slovak, or from elsewhere in Europe, they get a payment code in the format that matches their nationality, in the right currency, with the IBAN always shown for a manual transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the guest need a specific bank or app?

No. The guest just opens their own bank's app and scans the code. Czech banking apps read QR Platba and Slovak ones read PAY by square. Many European banking apps can read the EPC code, but banks are not required to support it, so the IBAN is always shown next to the code for a manual transfer.

Do I need PayPal, Revolut, or Wise?

No, they're optional extras. The bank QR code and account number always work on their own.

Who confirms the guest actually paid?

Best Guest doesn't collect or verify the payment itself — the money goes straight to your account. Once you confirm you've received it, the guest sees a receipt instead of a payment prompt.

Is this the same account I use for my municipality report?

Yes, deliberately — it's the account the municipality identifies you by on the local-fee report, so a guest's payment lands exactly where you'll draw the fee from when you remit it.

Does this work for guests from outside Czechia and Slovakia?

Yes. Guests from other countries get an EPC QR code with the amount converted to euros. Many European banking apps can read it, though not all, so the IBAN is always shown next to the code for a manual transfer. The PayPal, Revolut, and Wise links, if you have added them, work regardless of the guest's nationality.
