How do I connect Stripe to Smoobu?

When you're using our booking system, either for your own external vacation rental website or for your Smoobu's website, you can connect your Stripe account to accept credit card payments.

In Stripe

Make sure your account is LIVE and not in Test mode. If you added Stripe to Smoobu in Test mode, you will need to disconnect it and follow the below instructions from the beginning.

In Smoobu

1. Go to Marketplace > Payments > Stripe
2. Click on Connect. You will automatically be forwarded to your Stripe account
3. Log into your Stripe account and fill the requested info
4. Click on “Authorize access to this account” on the Stripe page
5. You should receive a notification advising: "Stripe was added to your Smoobu Account as a Payment Method" This message is a confirmation of the connection.

Please note: In the Smoobu Booking Engine, if Stripe (credit card) is your "Default Payment", choose Stripe Connect instead.

You will automatically be taken back to Smoobu

Follow the steps above and also, make sure in the Smoobu Booking Engine, If Stripe (credit card) is your "Default Payment", to choose Stripe Connect instead.
