Some virtual cards are restricted so that only merchants which are registered as an accommodation business type can charge the virtual card. In this case you need to make sure you are registered as an accommodation business with Stripe.
====Error when charging Booking.com and Expedia Virtual Cards  ====
When charging Booking.com and Expedia Virtual Cards with Stripe you may receive this this error: '''An error occured while processing this card'''
 
Possible reasons:
 
*'''Merchant Code''': The merchant code reflects your type of business (hotel, restaurant, grocery shop etc.). You can only charge a virtual card for a booking if you merchant code category (MCC) is relating to accommodation – 7011. Contact Stripe support and ask them to let your MCC code to reflect 7011.
 
*'''Missing CCV''': Booking.com and Expedia do not always send a CVV virtual cards. Qsk the channel to povide a CVV for the virtual card and manuelly reenter it. For Expedia virtual cars you can try to add the generic CVV codes:
**Visa/Mastercard: 469
**American Express: 2469
 
*'''Incorrect amount''': Double-check you charge the exact amount from the booking.
