1 Use
You can use this method if:
You have a Stripe account and you have connected it to your property.
And
You connect to Booking.com, Expedia and Agoda. (Channels that provide virtual credit cards).

The channels collect the payment from the guest and send you a virtual credit card that can be sent to Stripe with the payment date set.
When the booking is imported from the Channel, there will be a Pending Payment automatically added to the booking with the payment collection date set
