# Do I still need to set reminders to manually charge a guest’s card at the time a deposit is due?

Our automated payment feature allows hoteliers to stop needing to set reminders to manually charge cards at the time a deposit is due.

We will notify the guest 2 days before the charge and automatically charge the card that’s stored for the booking in line with your own deposit policies. For example, if you charge 50% of the total booking amount 3 days before the guest checks in, we will notify the guest 5 days before check-in that their card will be charged 50% of the total booking and confirm the amount, in 2 days time. As a hotelier, you will not have to do anything.
