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