We Don't Hold Your Money
YouLi is a software platform that connects to your existing Stripe account.
So we don't ever hold your money. Your settlement timeframe is determined by your account with Stripe or Square and can be as soon as 1 day once you establish a good reputation.
Get started with bookings and GET PAID FASTER!
Booking Fee Explained
The 4% Booking Fee is applied on credit card charges only and is non-refundable. [But you CAN pass this fee onto your travelers as a surcharge](https://support.youli.io/articles/360001218676?hsLang=en) (depending on your legal jurisdiction).
If you're looking to [provide alternative payment options/methods](https://help.youli.io/hc/en-us/articles/360001333075) that have no booking fee, [you should upgrade to PRO](https://youli.io/account/billingsetup)!
NOTE: This is a YouLi fee, that does NOT include the merchant fee charged by Square or Stripe. Your fee from your chosen payment gateway depends on your volume and country.
