What is how to surface channel fees on owner statements?

Gross vs net booking math. The definition above is the one-sentence version.

Does this apply to every market?

Yes — the rule applies in every market. Local overlays (lodging tax, permits, seasonality) modify the implementation, not the rule.

How long until I see results?

Most short-term-rental changes show signal in 14 days, with a confident verdict after 30. Don't change again inside that window.

Do I need software for this?

No, you can ship the default with a spreadsheet and a calendar. Software (PMS, dynamic pricer, messaging automation) speeds things up but isn't required.

Will this affect my Airbnb / Vrbo ranking?

Indirectly. Anything that lifts reviews, response time, or acceptance rate lifts ranking. This playbook is built to move at least one of those.

Can a property manager apply this across owners?

Yes — standardize the default across the portfolio, then make owner-level exceptions for high-value units. Document exceptions on the owner statement footer.

What's the StayFlow take?

Ship the default, measure for 14 days, document the change, then iterate. Don't customize before you have data.
