Stripe Connect
Stripe Connect is the simplest way to take payments. Pay2Book sets up a Stripe account for you and handles the connection - there are no keys to copy and no webhook to set up.
Connect your account
Section titled “Connect your account”-
In your Pay2Book console, go to Settings → Stripe.
-
Under Stripe Connect, select Connect with Stripe.
-
Complete Stripe’s secure onboarding (see what Stripe will ask you below). This happens on Stripe’s own pages, not in Pay2Book.
-
When you finish, Stripe returns you to Pay2Book. Once Stripe has enabled charges on your account, the card shows Connected and you can take payments.
What Stripe will ask you
Section titled “What Stripe will ask you”The exact questions depend on your country and whether you sign up as an individual or a business, so the screens vary from person to person. In all cases Stripe needs enough to verify who you are and to pay money out to you. Expect to provide:
- Who you are. Your name and contact details, and whether you are an individual or a registered business. Businesses also give their legal name and registration details.
- What you do. A short description of your business or the services you sell.
- Identity verification. Stripe may ask you to confirm your identity, sometimes with a photo of an ID document. This is Stripe’s requirement, not Pay2Book’s.
- A bank account for payouts. Where Stripe sends the money from your bookings. This is the account your earnings are paid into.
Pay2Book never sees or stores any of this. You enter it directly with Stripe, and Stripe shares back only whether your account is ready to take payments.
A 2% platform fee applies per booking on the Starter plan. On the Pro plan there is no platform fee. Stripe’s own processing fees apply on either plan.
Prefer to use your own Stripe account?
Section titled “Prefer to use your own Stripe account?”If you already have a Stripe account and want to use it directly, see Stripe Manual instead.
