If the integration is so friendly, then you should consider being able to register by using the amount received by the first booking(s), to avoid having to put money upfront.
- bonesss 9y agoIt may be doable, it might also run into issues as your're advertising and charging for a product you're not licensed to sell. I mean this is, in part, a business registration fee we're talking about... are there other regulated businesses where you can charge first and get licensed second? Trash disposal, flammable material production, health care services? Liquor wholesaling? Gynecological services? Radioactive material transport? ... From a regulatory standpoint the entire point of licensing actors is to deny poorly behaving actors licenses. If AriBnB were facilitating the sale in expectation of a license being granted then AirBnB is trying to act as a regulatory body, a no-no, and at the very least liable for any problems with the transaction or host, a no-no for AirBnB.
- Kliment 9y agoThat's not what's being proposed, as I understand it. Rather, the poster is proposing that airbnb pay the registration fee for you, and then withhold it from bookings made through them after. There is no advertising and charging for a product you're not licensed to sell, it's more like the advance fees in a book publishing contract.
