Payments & Deposits

Stripe Payment Gateway

Reservation.Tools connects to your existing Stripe account so guests can pay or authorize a card when they book — without leaving the reservation form. The integration runs on Stripe Connect, so payouts land in your own Stripe account on your own schedule.

Once Stripe is connected to a venue, you can require a deposit, a pre-authorization hold, or a no-show fee on any time slot. The form takes the card, the money is authorized or captured based on the rule, and the reservation moves forward automatically.

Because it runs on Stripe, you get the full card-payment surface: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, 3D Secure, and multi-currency support. No extra contracts, no second dashboard to manage — guests pay, you see the reservation confirmed, Stripe handles the rest.

This is how restaurants stop losing Friday-night covers to guests who book three places and show up at one. Take the deposit or the hold, and you'll see no-shows drop the same week.
