Below is a list of the fee types supported per fee basis type. Note that security deposits and cleaning fees are handled differently. A fee is considered a cleaning fee if the words "clean" or "keeping" appear in the name.
Each channel is a little unique in the way they support different features. Some of the integrations have native support for sending fees of different types along with the dollar amount or a percentage. Others have very limited support so MyVR will "bake in" some of the fees into the nightly rates that are sent. This document does not discuss nightly rates at all.
Below the following tables is a "per channel" list of caveats to think about for fees specifically.

Airbnb
Only fees that are included by default, not optional and not refundable (except security deposit) are sent to Airbnb.
Airbnb natively supports passing a single dollar value per night for rates, a single flat amount per stay to charge, a single flat amount per cleaning fee and a single flat amount for the security deposit. All percent based taxes and fees will be "baked" into the nightly rates before we send.
Settings for the % of monthly and weekly discounts are available in the Settings > Rates & Fees section of your MyVR Airbnb Listing.
Airbnb collects and remits taxes in some geographies. For more information about Airbnb taxes, see this article: https://community.myvr.com/topic/655/do-taxes-on-myvr-connect-with-airbnb
Booking.com
If you're not currently in the beta for content syncing, make sure the fees set up in Booking.com exactly mirrors those set up in MyVR. The fees configured in Booking.com will be displayed to the guest on the listing.
To participate in the Content API beta, please open a support request from the Booking.com section of your MyVR account.
TripAdvisor Rentals
The TripAdvisor Rentals integration natively supports a single "flat per stay fee." All other fees are baked into the nightly rate if they are included by default, not optional and not refundable.
HomeAway
All fees are supported by the HomeAway integration. MyVR processes booking transactions for this channel and is passed some basic options from the HomeAway listing so that some optional fees (pet fee) may be optionally included.
