Questions about the price
Is there a setup fee or a contract?
No. There's no setup fee, and a monthly plan can be stopped at the end of any month.
When does the plan start?
On the day the first guest books with you online. Until then you can set everything up, add bookings yourself and try it, and pay nothing.
Is VAT added?
No. Kipdown isn't registered for VAT, so £49 a month is the whole price.
What are the card fees?
Stripe's own fee on each payment, from 1.5% plus 20p on a standard UK card, paid from the money you take. Kipdown takes nothing from your payments.
Does it cost more if I have more pitches or take more bookings?
No. It's the same price for a single shepherd's hut or a field of 100 pitches, in a quiet year or a busy one.
What happens to my bookings if I leave?
They're yours. Download every booking and guest as a spreadsheet before you go.
