Accept Payments with Confidence

Process direct booking payments, security deposits, and additional charges through Stripe, fully integrated into Airflow. Offer guests a seamless checkout experience while keeping your payment operations organized and secure.

How it works

Airflow integrates with Stripe to handle payment collection for direct bookings and ancillary charges. When a guest books directly through your website or you need to collect an additional payment, Airflow generates a secure payment link or processes the charge automatically.

Payment flows are fully customizable. Set up automatic charges for booking confirmations, collect security deposits that are held and released on schedule, or send one-time payment requests for extras like early check-in or pet fees. Every transaction is logged in Airflow and synced with your accounting software.

Stripe's global payment infrastructure means you can accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and dozens of local payment methods. Funds settle directly to your bank account on your chosen schedule.

Common questions about Payment Processing

Do I need a separate Stripe account?

Yes. Airflow connects to your Stripe account where funds are deposited. Creating a Stripe account is free and takes only a few minutes.

What payment methods can guests use?

Through Stripe, guests can pay with major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and various local payment methods depending on their region.

How are security deposits handled?

Airflow can authorize a hold on the guest's card at check-in and release it automatically after check-out, or capture it only if a damage claim is filed.
