Stripe X RentalReady
With Stripe, collect payments, secure deposits and pay each owner directly
About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform used by millions of businesses worldwide, from startups to large enterprises. Founded in 2010 by Patrick and John Collison, it lets companies accept payments, move money and build financial products through a single platform.
The platform supports over 135 currencies and payment methods, letting businesses charge customers in their preferred way across online and in-person channels. Payment links, checkout pages and automated billing can be set up directly from the dashboard, with no code required.
Reliability sits at the core of Stripe, with a 99.999% historical uptime and 1.9 trillion dollars in volume processed in 2025. Its Connect technology handles multi-party payments, paying out each recipient automatically from a single flow, in full compliance.
Adopted across hospitality, travel and thousands of software platforms, Stripe brings these same standards to short-term rental operations. Dedicated owner accounts, fund splitting, card holds and deposit management run through one secure environment, ready to feed the tools managers use.
Stripe benefits
Split funds automatically
Split each payment between manager, owner and agent, with a dedicated IBAN per recipient. Funds are allocated at source, with no manual calculation or transfer required.
Pay your owners directly
Each owner gets their own Stripe account. Revenue is paid out to them directly, so you never have to hold or transfer your clients' funds yourself.
Collect across every channel
Take payments from your direct bookings, booking website and VRBO, with a partial deposit at reservation or scheduled instalments for mid-term stays.
Secure booking deposits
Place a card hold on each reservation, capture all or part of it for damage, then release the balance, with expiring holds renewed automatically.
Generate instant payment links
Create a link in seconds for a security deposit, city tax, damages or extra charges, and share it with guests through any channel.
Recover damages anywhere
Handle damage recovery from one place: through the Stripe deposit on your direct bookings, through Airbnb and Booking.com resolution centres elsewhere.
