Host Payouts

Everything you need to know about getting paid as a host

How Much You Earn

As a host, you receive 80% of the total booking price. Datthome retains a 20% platform fee which covers payment processing, platform maintenance, guest support, and dispute handling.

Booking price (e.g. 5,000 kr × 2 guests)10,000 kr
Platform fee (20%)− 2,000 kr
Your payout8,000 kr

All amounts are in Icelandic Króna (ISK). The fee is deducted automatically — guests are not charged any extra fees on top of the listed price.

When You Get Paid

Payouts are released 72 hours after your dining event is completed. This settlement window allows time to handle any guest disputes or cancellation claims before funds are disbursed.

  • Event completes → 72-hour settlement window begins
  • After 72 hours → payout is queued automatically
  • Bank transfer arrives within 1–3 business days after disbursement

A minimum balance of 10,000 kr is required before a payout is processed. Smaller balances accumulate until the threshold is reached.

How You Receive Payment

Payouts are credited directly to a Visa or Mastercard debit card that you register during host onboarding. Datthome uses Paystrax to push funds onto your card via an Original Credit Transaction (OCT). Most card issuers post the funds to your bank account within 1–3 business days, depending on the issuer.

You can update or replace your registered payout card at any time from your host payout settings. Payouts are processed in ISK.

Payments and payouts are handled via our payment provider, Paystrax (Esja Fjarskipti ehf), which is regulated in Iceland.

Requirements to Receive Payouts

  • Completed identity verification (Rafræn skilríki / Icelandic eID)
  • A registered Visa or Mastercard payout card on your host profile
  • Account in good standing (no active disputes or policy violations)
  • Minimum payout balance of 10,000 kr
