Payment frequency

Our B & B in NZ is small, only 2 x Queen Bed Ensuite Bedrooms and 1 x 2 x Bedroom Family Suite with bathroom...sleeps x 4.

 Waiting until the following month for payment is causing cash flow issues. Especially if guests check out at the begging of the following month?.. Bk.com would be sitting on that payment for 5 weeks! Paying for the privilege of Payment being collected by BKing.com as well as commissions is proving to be very costly.   

Is any one else experiencing the same issues and please be kind in your responses. I am grateful for their expertise and exposure on the internet.... but can’t help feeling taken advantage of when I read other accommodation providers in other Countries are paid out weekly or 2 x during the month.  I have already approached Booking.com with regards to  this, and was told that the month following payment option is the only one available to me.... I really don’t understand why?

Any tips.

In gratitude ? Gillian
