You can disable any payment processing account if you want to stop using it. The disabled account will still be visible in Guesty, but payments will no longer be processed through it. You can always go back and activate your account.
If the account you want to disable is your default payment processing account, you'll need to set a new default account, or contact us to disable it.
If you wish to completely disconnect your payment processing account, you can delete it.
Important:
Deleting a payment processing account is not recommended. Removing it will delete all its data, therefore we recommend waiting at least 180 days between disabling and deleting the payment processing account, as chargebacks and refunds may occur.
Moreover, to be able to continue charging your guests, make sure you set up an alternate payment processing account in Guesty, and to assign the relevant listings to this payment processing account.
