Pricing

What gets billed

The billing unit is the booking filed: as soon as SES Hospedajes confirms at least one guest on a check-in, that booking counts once. A booking for four people costs the same as one for a single guest, and it is charged only once even if its guests are filed in several batches.

Only confirmed bookings are charged. A check-in that never gets registered, a cancelled booking, or one the Ministry rejects entirely generate no charge. That is why testing your integration costs nothing.

And to integrate without filing anything there is test mode: a copy of your account, with kinapi_test_ keys, where filing is answered by a simulator and nothing is billed.

Trial allowance

New accounts get 15 free bookings. They are not a simulation: their reports are filed with SES Hospedajes for real using your credentials, and they are not charged. Once it is used up, POST /checkins returns 402 payment_method_required until a card is saved; anything already filed is unaffected.

Invoicing threshold

Usage accumulates and is only invoiced once the pending balance reaches €5 plus VAT — ten bookings. Below that it rolls over to the next month rather than issuing an invoice for pennies. It is not a minimum spend: you do not pay to reach the threshold, you simply wait, and a month with no bookings still generates no invoice. Your real usage, invoiced or not, is in the panel and in GET /usage from the first moment.

How you pay

When you sign up you store a card (Stripe processes it; Kinapi never sees the number). At the end of each calendar month you receive an automatic invoice with the VAT applicable to your country and tax number. Your usage breakdown is in the panel in real time, under Billing, and the official invoices are in the Stripe portal linked from there.

Suspended account

If a charge fails, Stripe retries automatically for a few days. If it still cannot be collected, the account is suspended: the API answers 403 and the panel asks you to settle the payment. As soon as you pay the outstanding invoice, the service is reactivated straight away. Check-in links your guests already have keep working.
