Host Commission Policy<\/strong><\/span>
Staydaze.com \u2014 Effective Date: April 2025<\/p>

Overview<\/strong>
Staydaze follows a simple and transparent host commission structure. For every confirmed booking
made through Staydaze, a total commission of 10% is deducted from the booking value payable to the
host. This 10% includes the 2% payment gateway charge applicable through Razorpay for standard
transactions, and Staydaze does not levy any additional or hidden charges beyond this disclosed
amount.
Where applicable, 18% GST is calculated only on the base price or taxable value, and not on tax
itself. Under GST principles, tax is charged on the transaction value \/ taxable value, and GST itself is
excluded from that base.<\/p>

Commission Structure<\/strong><\/p>

Component Charge<\/p>

Staydaze platform commission\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 8%
Razorpay payment gateway charge\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02%
Total deduction from host payout\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 10%<\/p>

Additional hidden charges None.<\/p>

This means the host receives 90% of the booking amount, subject only to the commission structure described above. Razorpay publicly states that its standard payment gateway pricing starts at 2% per transaction, with 18% GST applicable on that fee, and also states that there are no setup fees, annual maintenance charges, or hidden costs in its standard pricing model.<\/p>

GST Clarification<\/strong>
For billing and invoicing purposes, any applicable 18% GST is to be calculated on the base price only.
GST must not be charged on an amount that already includes GST, and tax must not be calculated on top of another tax amount.<\/p>

For example, if the base booking value is \u20b910,000, then:<\/p>

  • GST at 18% = \u20b91,800<\/li>
  • Total amount payable = \u20b911,800
    This follows the standard GST calculation method, where GST Amount = Base Price \u00d7 GST Rate, and
    the final amount is the base price plus GST.<\/li><\/ul>

    What the 10% Includes<\/p>

    The 10% total commission charged to hosts is inclusive of:<\/p>

    • Staydaze’s service fee for facilitating bookings, platform operations, customer support, and booking management<\/li>
    • Payment gateway processing charges associated with collecting online payments via Razorpay<\/li>
    • Access to the Staydaze booking platform and related transaction support<\/li><\/ul>

      No separate onboarding fee, listing fee, maintenance fee, or undisclosed service charge is applied by Staydaze under this policy. Razorpay also states that standard pricing has \u20b90 setup, \u20b90 maintenance, and \u20b90 integration support charges, which supports the transparency of the included payment
      processing component.<\/p>

      No Hidden Charges<\/strong>
      Staydaze is committed to clear pricing for hosts. Apart from the disclosed 10% total commission, hosts
      will not be charged any additional hidden fees, platform fees, support fees, annual fees, or surprise
      deductions by Staydaze.<\/p>

      If any statutory tax is applicable under law, such tax may be charged separately only where legally required and will be clearly communicated in writing or in the payout statement. Such tax will be computed on the applicable base value \/ taxable value only.<\/p>

      Illustrative Example<\/strong>
      If a guest books a stay with a base price of \u20b910,000, the billing may be shown as follows, where 18%<\/p>

      GST applies on the base price:<\/p>

      • Base booking amount: \u20b910,000<\/li>
      • GST at 18% on base price: \u20b91,800<\/li>
      • Total guest payment: \u20b911,800<\/li><\/ul>

        If the host commission is calculated on the agreed base booking amount of \u20b910,000, then:<\/p>

        • Total commission deducted: \u20b91,000 (10%)<\/li>
        • Host payout: \u20b99,000<\/li><\/ul>

          Within the \u20b91,000 commission, \u20b9200 represents the 2% Razorpay payment gateway component, and \u20b9800 represents the Staydaze platform commission. Razorpay’s standard pricing page states that payment acceptance starts at 2%, which aligns with the gateway component shown in this example.<\/p>

          Payout Clarification<\/strong>
          Host payouts are processed after deducting the total agreed commission of 10% from the final booking amount received for the reservation, subject to the commercial arrangement between Staydaze and the host. The exact payout timeline may depend on the booking terms, check-in completion, and internal payout cycle communicated by Staydaze. And the host receives 90% of the price 3-5 days from the customer\u2019s checkout. If the booking is more than 4+ days, Staydaze will
          process 40% as an advance one day before the check-in, to help Hosts for better operations and the remaining 3-5 days from the customer\u2019s checkout.<\/p>
