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

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is required within 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.

A new window will pop-up. Enter the login and password of your Stripe account and click Continue.

On the next screen, make sure you are logged in to the correct account, especially, if you have multiple Stripe and/or Cloudbeds accounts. Then click Connect my Stripe account.

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

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.

Your Stripe account should now be connected to Cloudbeds PMS.
