What Is MotoPress Hotel Booking Payment Request?
MotoPress Hotel Booking Payment Request is developed by MotoPress and is a booking automation plugin for WordPress. It functions as an essential extension for the core MotoPress property management system. It belongs to the booking category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for hospitality businesses and vacation rental owners.
The plugin solves the problem of manual billing by sending unique payment links to guests who have already confirmed their stay. It is built for hotel managers, Airbnb hosts, and property management companies who need to collect deposits or final balances without manual follow-ups.
MotoPress Hotel Booking Payment Request Features
The feature set is built around automating financial interactions between the host and the guest while maintaining a clear audit trail of all transactions.
Automated Payment Reminders
Property owners can schedule balance payment requests by designating a specific number of days prior to the check-in date. The plugin automatically sends emails to guests with unique links, and all successful payments are recorded in the database without admin intervention. This is particularly useful for payment automation in high-volume rental environments.
Manual Request Control
For individual reservations that require a personal touch, administrators can opt out of automatic requests. The plugin provides a button on the Edit Booking screen to trigger manual emails. Additionally, unique payment links can be copied and sent through external messengers, SMS, or private emails whenever necessary.
Flexible Payment Types
Beyond simple balance collection, the plugin supports custom request types including deposit-based requests, percentage-based installments, or fixed flat fees. Administrators can create branded email templates using dynamic macros that automatically insert the guest name, total amount due, and the secure checkout link.
Systematic Activity Tracking
The plugin maintains a logged history for every reservation. This includes tracking when requests were sent, which links were clicked, and the exact timestamp of received payments. It ensures that booking statuses update automatically once the funds are processed through any gateway enabled in the core plugin.
Pricing
Retail licenses range from $99.00 yearly for a single site to $399.00 for a lifetime license. Check current pricing on the Hotel Booking Payment Request sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.

Handling Phone Reservations
When an admin manually adds a booking through the backend, they can instantly trigger a payment request email, allowing the guest to pay via credit card or PayPal without the admin handling sensitive card data over the phone.
