Connect Stripe for Payments

Set up Stripe Connect to start accepting payments

ReserveSpot uses Stripe to process payments securely. Connecting your Stripe account lets you accept deposits, full payments, and manage refunds — all without handling sensitive card data yourself.

01

Go to Payment Settings

From your dashboard, navigate to Settings → Payments. You'll see the Stripe Connect section with a "Connect Stripe" button.

02

Start the Stripe Onboarding

Click "Connect Stripe" and you'll be redirected to Stripe's secure onboarding flow. If you already have a Stripe account, you can link it. Otherwise, you'll create a new one.

Tip Have your bank details and business information ready — it speeds up the process.

03

Complete Verification

Stripe will ask for basic information to verify your identity:

Business Type

Individual or company

Individual (sole trader)

Bank Account

Where you'll receive payouts

Your business current account

ID Verification

Government-issued ID for compliance

Passport or driving licence

04

Return to ReserveSpot

Once Stripe onboarding is complete, you'll be redirected back to ReserveSpot. Your payment settings will show "Connected" with a green status.

You're ready to accept payments. Deposits and full payments will flow directly to your Stripe account.

05

Configure Payment Preferences

Back in ReserveSpot, you can now set whether services require payment at booking, deposits only, or pay-on-arrival.

Tip Requiring at least a deposit significantly reduces no-shows.
