Stripe - Send a Payment Request to your guests to make a payment
This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS) PAYMENTS > PAYMENT GATEWAYS > STRIPE and explains how to send a payment request to the guest to make a payment.

1 Use

You can use this method if:

You have a Stripe account and you have connected it to your property.

And

You require the guest to make a payment, you have a telephone booking and/or require the guest to make the payment.

If you are in the EU and/or have guests from the EU, you may need to comply with 3DSecure Payments, this will require you to send a payment link to the guest to make the payment directly.

2 How it works

You send a payment link to the guest so they can make the payment.

3 Set up

Step 1: Setup Stripe Account

Go to (SETTINGS) PAYMENTS > PAYMENT GATEWAYS > STRIPE and set:

Stripe is compatible with the pending payments auto charge function and direct charging a stored card from bookings, when you connect via the ‘Connect’ Button.

  • Click Connect Button. If you have multiple Stripe Accounts, ensure you connect to the correct Stripe account in your Stripe dashboard.
  • Set Enable/Priority - if you plan to use multiple Payment gateways, set the number based on the order on the payment page.
  • Save all cards to Stripe = Yes.
  • Capture = Yes, for your Beds24 booking page, this will collect the payment at the time of the booking.
  • Payment Description - Description for Stripe payments, template variables can be used. This description will be seen in the STRIPE dashboard, this is not visible to the Guest.
  • Title - Customise the title for this payment option.
  • Instruction - Create an optional description to appear next to the Stripe pay now button.


Step 2: Create Auto Auctions

Go to (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTIONS and click Create New Action to create them.

You can setup multiple auto actions to collect different amounts at different times. Depending on when you want to collect the payments, deposit on booking, collect a payment after the cancellation period, collect a payment before they arrive.
