How Default Fees Get Added to New Listings (and How to Remove Them)

Updated today

Overview

When a new listing is created/imported, VRTrust will recommend fees based on what exists in your Fees & Commissions library.

These are suggestions, not required.

Why defaults appear

VRTrust shows available options so you can attach:

  • Management commission

  • Booking/channel fees

  • Merchant fees

  • Cleaning fees

  • Other fees

Best practice

Only attach fees that should apply to that listing. If you attach multiple similar fees (e.g., 50% pet fee + 100% pet fee), you may double-charge.

How to remove mistakenly attached fees

  1. Open the listing

  2. Go to Fees & Commissions inside the listing

  3. Remove/delete the attached fee(s)

  4. Save

Bulk Managing Fees & Commissions Across Listings

When setting up or updating your account, you don’t need to edit fees one listing at a time. VRTrust allows you to apply, remove, and update fees in bulk, which is especially useful during initial onboarding or when making system-wide changes.


When to Use Bulk Fee Management

Bulk updates are ideal when you need to:

  • Apply the same management commission to many listings

  • Add or remove a fee across multiple listings

  • Update the start date or end date of a fee for many listings at once

  • Quickly correct setup issues during onboarding


How to Apply a Fee to Multiple Listings

Example: Apply a 15% Management Commission in Bulk

  1. Go to Fees & Commissions

  2. Select Management Commissions

  3. Click into the specific commission (e.g. 15% Management Commission)

  4. Open the Listings tab

  5. Select the listings you want this commission to apply to

  6. Save your changes

The selected commission will now apply to all chosen listings without needing to edit each listing individually.


How to Update Fee Start and End Dates in Bulk

You can also adjust start dates and/or end dates for any fee in bulk.

This is helpful when:

  • Backdating fees to capture historical activity

  • Ending fees for listings that have changed contracts

  • Correcting start dates that were set too late or too early

Steps

  1. Go to Fees & Commissions

  2. Open the fee you want to update

  3. Navigate to the Listings tab

  4. Select one or more listings

  5. Update the start date and/or end date

  6. Save

These date changes will apply to all selected listings at once.


Important Notes & Best Practices

  • Bulk changes affect only the listings you select

  • Start dates control when a fee begins applying to reservations

  • End dates control when a fee stops applying

  • If a fee looks “inactive,” it usually means it isn’t attached to any listings

  • Always double-check date changes during onboarding to avoid missing or duplicating fees


Summary

While you can always manage fees directly on individual listings, bulk fee management is the fastest and safest way to:

  • Apply consistent fee rules

  • Update multiple listings at once

  • Clean up or finalize setup during onboarding

Using bulk updates helps ensure your fees and commissions are applied accurately and consistently across your portfolio.
