Tenant shortlets: trips

Where to manage trips

• Open `/trips` to see all your shortlet bookings.
• Open `/trips/[bookingId]` for booking details and status guidance.
• From a listing page (`/properties/[id]`), use **My trips** after booking.

Booking modes on listing pages

• **Request to book**: host approval is required after payment succeeds.
• **Reserve**: instant confirmation after payment succeeds.

Paying for a shortlet booking

1. On the listing page, choose dates and select **Continue to payment**.
2. On checkout, choose:

• **Pay by Card (recommended)** (Stripe)
• **Pay with Nigerian methods** (Paystack)

1. After payment, open `/trips/[bookingId]` to track the status.

Trip status guide

• `pending_payment`: booking created, payment not completed yet.
• `pending`: waiting for host response.
• `confirmed`: stay is reserved.
• `completed`: stay finished.
• `declined` / `cancelled` / `expired`: this trip is closed.

Tips for smoother bookings

1. Double-check check-in/check-out dates before submitting.
2. Use the trip detail page to confirm totals and booking status.
3. If a request is declined or expired, choose new dates and submit a new request.
