Common Questions

How does payment work?▼

When a host accepts a venue's offer, payment is processed securely through Stripe. The host pays the booking amount plus an 8% platform fee. The venue receives the booking amount minus an 8% platform fee and the Stripe processing fee. All transactions are secure and funds are transferred directly between users.

Is my budget information kept private?▼

Yes. Venues only see your maximum budget after they submit an offer. This ensures venues compete on value rather than just pricing to your maximum. Your privacy is protected throughout the process.

Can I cancel a booking?▼

Cancellation policies are determined by individual venues and are included in each offer. Review the cancellation terms before accepting an offer through the BAP platform.

How do venues get verified?▼

Venues complete a verification process through Stripe Connect, which includes identity verification and business information validation. Only verified venues can submit offers and receive bookings on the platform.

What happens if there's an issue with my booking?▼

While BAP facilitates the connection between hosts and venues, the actual service agreement is between you and the venue. For payment-related disputes, you can contact our support team for assistance.
