1.3 Virtual Cards

Virtual cards work the same way as "real" cards. Often virtual cards are only valid for a certain period. For details please ask the channel which provides the card.

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.

1.4 Refund of Payments in Stripe

Payments can be manually refundes from within the Stripe account. You will also need to enter them manually into the booking.
