Stripe Connection Guide

Stripe is one of the most popular payment processors we connect with. This guide will walk you through the process of connecting Stripe to your Cloudbeds PMS.

Cloudbeds believes every lodging business is unique. We offer tools for all sizes and budgets to help you establish and grow your business. Reach out to our dedicated team for more information on each available package. Not yet a Cloudbeds customer? Access our Pricing Guide and schedule a demo.

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is required within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK).

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the UK, Cloudbeds strongly recommends using Stripe to leverage 3D Secure 2.0 for all SCA-impacted payment transactions.

Sign up
Before connecting to Stripe, you need an account. Stripe is available for businesses located in 34 countries and accepts payments from anywhere in the world. If you already have an account, continue with the steps below.
Connect Stripe to your Cloudbeds PMS

  2. Go to Payments Payments icon.png
  3. You will be on the Credit Card tab within the Payment Options
  4. Under the Payment Gateway section, turn on the toggle to Activate the gateway
  5. Choose Live mode
  6. Select Stripe in the drop-down menu and press Click to Connect
  7. A new window will pop up for you to enter your Stripe account login credentials and click Sign in. Follow the steps that Stripe asks you to complete in order to connect your account.

  Ensure you are logged in to the correct account, especially if you have multiple Stripe or Cloudbeds accounts. 

  If you entered incorrect credentials, you would receive the error below. If you are certain the credentials are correct, try resetting your Stripe password and trying again.

  1. You will be prompted to authenticate your session with a 6-digit code sent by Stripe to your registered phone number.

We recommend syncing and using the Google Authenticator app on your phone for this step.

3D Secure Settings

European Economic Area (EEA) based accounts

If you're based in the European Economic Area (EEA), the 3D Secure settings are mandatory:

Non-European Economic Area (EEA) based accounts

If you're not based in the European Economic Area (EEA), the 3D Secure feature is optional, but Stripe allows you to use the benefits of the 3D Secure feature.

If you wish to disable it, make sure that all 3D secure settings are set to disable.

    Hello, 

    thank you for updating the instructions. Unfortunately, I still do not see the the Payment Gateway activation toggle as you can see on the screenshot below. Is there anything I should do before all that?
