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.
