      Why Connecting a Payment Gateway Matters

      Your payment gateway is the financial engine behind your booking operations. It allows you to:

      • Accept guest payments

      • Process refunds

      • Charge security deposits

      • Automate scheduled payments

      • Receive payouts to your bank account

      • Fully activate your direct booking website

      Without connecting a merchant, you cannot accept direct bookings or connect to OTAs like VRBO, HomeToGo and others.

      Note: Your payment gateway choice affects your direct booking website, automated payments, security deposits, and refund workflows.

      How to Connect Stripe

      1. On the left-hand menu, go to:
        Setup → Booking & Payments → Merchants → Connect to Stripe

      2. Choose whether to:

        • Connect an existing Stripe account, or

        • Create a new Stripe account

      3. If you already have a Stripe account:

      • Use your existing email
      • You can create a new business profile under the same email
      • Stripe will guide you through verifying your business details

      4. If creating a new account:

      • Enter the best email for your business
      • Complete the verification steps
      • Add your business and payout information

      5. Once finished, you will be prompted to name your Stripe account in Jurny.
      This name is internal only—choose anything that helps you recognize it.

      Tip: You can rename your merchant account later if needed.
