Commissions

  • There are two basic fees if someone pays for a recovery facility or retreat through our system: commission and payment processing.
  • Once we help you get a customer that books a recovery facility or retreat and pays through our system, we keep a standard 12% commission on the full recovery or retreat price.

NOTE: Customer (Service Fee) **This fee is NOT charged to the HOST.

Recovery and Retreats charges a fee of 14% to the Customer to help us run our platform and offer services like 24/7 support on their trip.

The 14% comes from the Subtotal of Room Price times the number of patients, guests, days, and/or any extra services.

How do I get paid?

All funds are held until the day of the booking/event. After the first day of the booking/event, you will see a green checkmark appear beside the booking in your account. At this time, you can click the icon to request your payout for that booking. Funds will then be dispursed via your connected Paypal or Stripe account.

Can I talk directly with people who inquire?

Recovery and Retreats has a few ways to speak to customers through the site.

  • First, we have a messaging service that will allow logged-in customers to communicate with Partners from within their Account Dashboard. You will see these messages under Inbox Notification in your Partner Dashboard.
  • You may receive messages from the form on your Business Profile page - these will show up under Business Inquiry in your Partner Dashboard
  • Lastly, a customer may message you from your Retreat, Recovery, or Activity listing page. You will see these inquiries under their respective Management Tabs, So if you have a retreat, you would see them at Retreat Management / My Retreats/ and click the teal icon with the question mark beside it next to your listing. 
Can I control my own listing?

Once approved, you’re in full control of your availability, prices, Recovery Facility, and Retreat rules, and how you interact with guests.

Does Recovery and Retreats act as a surgical facilitator?

No, we do not. We provide a platform for you to list your Recovery Facility or Retreat only. 

Can I add taxes, my own PayPal fees, etc. on top of the recovery facility and retreat price (without being charged commission on it?)

We advise you to set the total retreat price considering fees, taxes, and commission. We charge our commission on the total recovery facility and retreat price and it is the same process for all recovery facility and retreat owners – we love transparency.

That being said, the total recovery facility and retreat price should always include everything you need to cover on your end, be that taxes or payment fees that occur when you receive a direct payment from a guest (rather than through us).

What happens if a booking is cancelled by us or the customer?

Recovery and Retreats allows you to decide for your business what your cancellation policy will be. In the set up of your listings, you have the opportunity to set the time period users must cancel by as well as the amount they are entitled to get refunded. This setting is then displayed on your listing as your cancellation policy. Please note that the Recovery and Retreats company cancellation policy allows free cancellations for all users in the first 24 hrs. After this time, the partner cancellation policy will come into effect and any cancellations are subject to the platform fee of 10% of the total booking cost for any booking canceled after the first 24hrs.
