When should I use "Mark as confirmed"?

Note: if you have payment connected to Houfy, you always have the option to send a payment request in reply to an inquiry.

If a traveler sends an inquiry (not a pending direct booking) and you would like to move forward with the reservation, you can click Mark as confirmed. This will do four things:

  • Block the the reservation dates while you handle payment outside of Houfy.
  • Export the blocked dates to your synced calendars.
  • Send an email reservation confirmation to both guest and host.
  • Lets Houfy know you received a booking.
When should I use

Select Confirmed from the drop down.

Yes. Once the owner "accepts" a reservation request the host and the guest will receive an e-mail from Houfy. (Below an example of 10$ paid through stripe)
