Three steps. You can pause at any time, your progress is saved.

Step 1

Create your account and identifier

Name, email, password and the identifier of your property, which becomes its address. After that, your listing is visible only to you, nobody sees a half-finished offer.

About 3 minutes
Step 2

Create the listing with the assistant

Prices and key facts, texts and amenities, photos, payment account with Stripe. The AI suggests translations and image descriptions, you review and save.

Tip: have your photos ready
Step 3

Approval

Stripe confirms your identity, we check the listing and approve it. From then on, your property runs at its own address and appears in the catalogue on clavanza.ch.

What does Clavanza cost?

There's no subscription fee and no setup cost. We keep a commission of 9.9 % on each booking - so only when you've actually rented out.

When guests pay through Clavanza, the commission is deducted directly from the payment; nothing is invoiced to you afterwards. With cash payment, our claim to the commission arises when you confirm the cash payment. It is either offset against the next booking through Clavanza or, if there is no transaction through Clavanza for 3 months, invoiced. The rate that applies is always the one in force at the time of the booking concerned.

Payment processing fees are included: whether your guest pays by card, TWINT or Klarna makes no difference to your amount - we cover the difference.

VAT is not included but would be added: we are currently not registered for VAT and therefore don't charge any. Should that change, it will be added at the statutory rate, and you'll be told beforehand. VAT would only be charged on the commission and, at the current rate of 8.1 %, would add 0.8 % (so 10.7 % instead of 9.9 %). If you are registered for VAT yourself, you deduct it as input tax.

What is the early-bird rate for hosts?

Every property that is live on Clavanza by 31.03.2027 pays only 7.9 % commission instead of 9.9 % for all its bookings up to 31.12.2027, also all-in. A property that only goes live after the deadline pays the standard rate. It is our thank-you to everyone who is with us from the start.

The booking date counts: a booking received by 31.12.2027 runs at the early-bird rate, even if the stay is later.

You do not need to apply. As soon as your listing is approved, the rate applies automatically, and your overview in the admin area shows until when. If you pause your listing later, you keep it.

From 01.01.2028, the standard rate of 9.9 % applies to everyone.

Why do I need a Stripe account?

For two reasons. First, your guests' money goes to your own account, not ours - you enter your bank details directly with Stripe, we never see them.

Second, Stripe verifies your identity. Only then do we make a listing public - without this check, nobody would know who is behind an offer, and that is the most common form of fraud on booking platforms.

When do I get my money?

The amount is in your own Stripe account from the moment the payment arrives and belongs to you - you can see it there straight away. Only the transfer to your bank account is delayed, and it comes in two steps.

We pay out the accommodation share minus commission as soon as your own cancellation scale no longer provides for a refund of the accommodation price. With the standard scale, that's 13 days before arrival. The cleaning fee remains refundable until the end and follows on the day of arrival.

The reason isn't mistrust but the time span: in seasonal business, months lie between payment and stay, and a cancellation or chargeback can occur in the meantime. Both are debited to your Stripe account, because that's where the payment was made. If the balance is already in your bank account, a negative balance arises - which is exactly what the staggering prevents.

If you set a more generous cancellation period, the first step moves back accordingly. So you control the timing yourself, through your cancellation terms.
