In 30 seconds: you connect your own Stripe account once, and every booking or extension your guests pay for goes straight into it. Amplistay never touches the money or takes a cut: the only per-charge cost is Stripe's own fee.
Where the money ends up
In your Stripe account. Not in an Amplistay balance that pays you out later, and not on a payout schedule someone else controls.
- 💳 The guest pays by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- 🏦 The charge shows up in your Stripe dashboard right away.
- 🔒 Amplistay never sees your bank account or stores card details.
Log in to stripe.com any time and you'll see exactly the same charges: it's your account, not a view of someone else's.
How to connect it
In the dashboard, under Bookings & payments for your property, pick "Card with Stripe" and click "Connect with Stripe".
Stripe handles the sign-up: your details, your bank account and your verification, like any business. There's no separate application with us. You connect once and it works for all your properties.
What gets charged through Stripe
Everything you take online, each with its own switch:
- New bookings, in full or with a deposit (say 50% at booking and the rest before arrival).
- Extensions: early check-in, late check-out or extra nights, whether the guest came from Airbnb, Booking.com or booked direct.
And this is what the guest sees on your website: pick dates, see the price, pay.
What you actually pay
- Amplistay: 0% per booking. It's all in the $19 / €19 monthly subscription per website, tax included.
- Stripe: its fee per payment, the same any business pays. Check it on Stripe's pricing page before you connect anything.
Example: on a $600 stay, Airbnb or Booking.com would keep around $90–100 in commission. Stripe's card fee is closer to $15–20.
Want to get paid another way later?
Nothing to rebuild. The website stays the same; only how the guest pays changes:
- Through your bank's card terminal (Redsys, in Spain), if you have one and its rate is better.
- Requests only, with a contact form, if you'd rather close each booking yourself.
- Through your current platform, like AvaiBook, if you already take payments there. Extensions can stay on Stripe.
Quick questions
Do I need a Stripe account first? No. If you don't have one, you create it in the same step, from the "Connect with Stripe" button.
When does the money reach my bank? Whenever your Stripe account pays out, on its own schedule. Amplistay isn't involved.
What about refunds? You issue them from your Stripe dashboard, like any other charge.
Setting it up and trying it is free. To go live: $19 / €19 per month per website, tax included, no commission.
