How Property Managers Can Automate Owner and Cleaner Payments

• Owners expect their share
• Cleaners need to be paid quickly
• Co-hosts may earn commissions
• Property managers still need to keep the business profitable

And all parties expect payouts to be timely, error-free, and transparent — ideally with a clear way to view transactions.

The good news is that with Split Payout rules, you can automate this entire flow.

Below are a few real-world examples of how property managers can automate their payouts using Split Payouts.

How to Split Payouts Between Property Owner and Cleaner

Imagine you’re a Property Manager with one listing, one owner, and one cleaner. For bookings on this listing, you want payouts to happen automatically based on your agreements:

• John (Owner): receives 30% of the net payout (the amount you receive after channel fees).
• Anaya (Cleaner): receives 100% of the cleaning fee (not split with any other staff or providers).

Your goal is to set this up once, so both John and Anaya are paid automatically after every booking — without manual transfers.

Let’s walk through this case using Split Payouts — the new tool by Your.Rentals that automatically distributes booking earnings to owners, cleaners, co-hosts, and other partners. Instead of handling transfers manually after every stay, Split Payouts lets you define payout rules once and automate payments from each booking.

Add your payees

To start, add the people you want to pay as collaborators in Your.Rentals. Learn how to do it here.

For this scenario, we'll invite John Doe and Anaya Willis as payees. Once they accept, they become available as Payees inside Split Payouts.

Important: Each payee needs to add a payout method (bank transfer or Payoneer) in their collaborator account so they can receive funds.

Create a payout rule for each payee

Next, create a payout rule — this is where you define how booking earnings should be split. Give it a name you’ll recognize, for example: “BlueResort Owner + Cleaner (Listing A)”

Then define the payout details for each payee. For John, you might set a rule that pays 30% of the payout amount 1 day after check-in.

If you work with more than one cleaner or service provider, you can also split the cleaning fee between them — either by assigning fixed amounts or dividing it by percentage. This setup is commonly used for cleaners, linen services, and other per-stay service providers.

Assign listings

Choose the listing this rule should apply to, so each time the property gets a booking, your payouts happen automatically.

Payees are processed top-to-bottom, and you can drag to reorder them depending on who should be paid first.

Note: By default, you (the account owner) will appear automatically — but if you want to pay the owner first, drag them above yourself to prioritize their payout.

Add yourself as a payee if needed

If you charge a fixed amount per booking, you can include yourself as a payee too. Otherwise, remaining funds go to you as the account owner by default.

Everyone Can See Their Transactions

One of the biggest benefits isn’t just automation — it’s transparency. Payees can view their payout transactions directly in their collaborator page, while you can track all future and completed payouts in Reports — and export everything to CSV for accounting or reconciliation.
