Manawa Invoicing and Payment for Partners

How Does the Payment System Work on Manawa?

Manawa is a booking website based on a marketplace model. It connects outdoor professionals with clients from all over the world. For every confirmed booking, a clear and fully automated process kicks in, ensuring that payment management is simple, fast, and secure.

Step-by-step overview

• The customer books an activity and pays the full amount in advance on Manawa.
• Manawa collects the payment on your behalf and holds the funds in a secure escrow account until the activity takes place.
• After the activity is completed, the funds are automatically released on the 15th of the following month.
• You receive a detailed monthly invoice by email, along with a bank transfer for the total amount of completed activities, minus Manawa’s commission..

Real-life example

Let’s say you sell an activity for €100 (TTC) on Manawa, with a 25% commission:

• The customer pays €100 on manawa.com
• Manawa charges a commission of €25
• You receive a bank transfer of €75

This commission is considered a standard business expense, like a booking software or a marketing agency.

Where Does the Money Go After Booking?

Once a booking is confirmed, the customer’s payment is stored in a dedicated escrow account under your name.

This account is managed by Manawa as a trusted intermediary, and the funds remain secured until the activity is completed.

When Do You Get Paid?

All payments are grouped and transferred automatically on the 15th of each month, for all activities completed during the previous month.

You’ll receive a detailed invoice that includes:

• Each activity sold
• Customer information
• Total amount paid by the customer
• Manawa’s commission
• Net amount transferred to you

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

Manawa is a payment intermediary, not a reseller

You, as a professional, are the one selling your activities. Manawa acts only as a booking platform and collection agent.

You’ll receive a monthly commission invoice

This invoice can be forwarded to your accountant and recorded like any other business expense

VAT on commissions

VAT applies only to partners based in France. If you're VAT-registered, the VAT portion of Manawa's commission is recoverable.

You are responsible for invoicing your customers

Manawa does not issue invoices to the final customer. If the client requests one, it's your responsibility to provide it.

All necessary information (name, date, price) is listed on your Manawa invoice and is also available in your partner dashboard.

• No invoice to send to Manawa

• No reminders to chase
• Just a monthly payment + detailed invoice in your inbox

Key Takeaways
