Payments & deposits
Connect Stripe to collect booking deposits, prevent no-shows, and pay out directly to your bank.
Aaptly uses Stripe to collect deposits and payments. Funds go straight to your own bank account through your own Stripe account — Aaptly takes a small 0.5% platform fee per deposit; standard Stripe processing rates apply separately.
How it works
Connect Stripe
Open Payments and click Set up payments. This launches Stripe's secure onboarding inside Aaptly.
Complete Stripe's form. Provide your business info, your personal verification details (name, date of birth, address, last 4 of SSN), and your bank account for payouts. Stripe may ask for an ID document.
Wait for verification. Stripe verifies your details — usually a few minutes. Use Refresh status to update the page.
You're live. When charges and payouts are enabled, you'll see a green "connected and accepting payments" status, and deposits can be collected on bookings.
