Our partners who do not accept online credit card payments but accept credit cards for prepayments or who request guests' credit card details as a guarantee will use the Stripe interface to store guests' credit card details, which allows for even more secure storage of credit card details and, as a new feature, also for charging cards via the RESnWEB admin interface. Card data is not visible in our admin interface.
In order to establish a connection between RESnWEB and Stripe, you need to register a Stripe account, the steps of which are described below.
IMPORTANT: tripe registration, guests will not be able to pay by entering their credit card details or providing their credit card details as a guarantee, thus it is recommended to activate the account as soon as possible.
Current tariffs for Stripe services:
Payment will be required per transaction, depending on the type of card charged.
In case your guest's debit or credit card was issued in Europe, you will be charged 1.5% + 85 HUF per transaction.
If the guest's debit or credit card is issued in the UK, a fee of 2.5% + 85 HUF will be charged per transaction.
There is no charge for storing the card details (e.g., for card guarantee purposes), only for charging it.
You can find out more about the costs by clicking on the button below.

II. Uploading documents for identification and business verification
In order for Stripe to verify the person or business associated with a Stripe account, the following documents must be uploaded to the interface:
ID card or passport
Residence card
Document containing the main details of the business
The information on the documents must match the information recorded in your Stripe account. It is best to check that the information in Stripe is correct before uploading documents to the system.
Identity card requirements:
The document must be uploaded in colour (black and white version is not suitable)
The document must be clearly legible
Uploading a photocopy of the document is not appropriate
The document must be valid
The document must be uploaded in its entirety to the interface:
For ID cards, both sides of the document must be uploaded
For passports, the full personal data sheet must be uploaded
The document must be uploaded in .png or .jpg format
If the ID card was issued in the Netherlands, it is necessary to make sure that the "citizen service number" (BSN) is not visible on the photo.
You can upload the ID card by clicking here or by clicking on the edit button in the Stripe interface after opening the ⚙︎ Settings / Business settings / Business details / Management and ownership section.
Residence card requirements
The document must be clearly legible
The full name and address of the individual must be clearly and legibly displayed.
The document must be dated within the last six months
The document must be uploaded in its entirety
The document must be uploaded in .png or .jpg format
If necessary, you can upload your address card by clicking here.
Requirements for documents containing the main details of the business
The document must contain the following information:
The full name of the business
The address of the business
The company registration number of the business
The document must be clearly legible
The document must be valid and up to date
If the document consists of multiple pages, all pages must be included in the file
The document must be uploaded in .png or .jpg format by clicking here.
In several cases, it was enough to upload the ID card to Stripe, without the system asking for the residence card or the document authenticating the business details. It's worth checking the Account status under Settings to see if anything else is required from the accommodation. If you see the message “You have no active requests from Stripe.”, you may assume that your profile is complete.
III. Verifying your email address
Once your Stripe account has been created, verify your accommodation's email address by clicking on the “Verify email address” button in the email you receive from Stripe. To complete the verification, enter the password for the account and then enter the verification code you received on your phone. If you did not receive a code, scan the QR code.
IV. Additional settings for your Stripe account
1. Uploading a logo to the Stripe admin interface
Upload your accommodation's logo to the Stripe admin interface by clicking on the “Upload” button in the Customize your Dashboard window.
2. Entering company details
Please check and, if necessary, enter your company's details so that the statements and commission invoices sent by Stripe are displayed with the correct data.
You can enter your data in the following menus:
⚙️ Settings / Business settings / Account details
⚙️ Settings / Business settings / Public details
3. Setting the date of payment
Click on the ⚙︎ icon in the top right-hand corner of the main page to open the Bank accounts and currencies option within the Business settings section. In the Payout schedule section, you can set the intervals at which the debited amounts will be transferred to the accommodation's bank account. By default, the amounts are credited to the bank account on a daily basis, but you can also request weekly or monthly payments.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to refund transactions via the Stripe interface. To make a refund, the interface uses the Stripe balance available to the accommodation, which does not include the pending balance. If your available balance does not cover the amount of the refund, Stripe will deduct the remaining amount from your bank account. Regardless, you should always ensure that there is enough money in the account to cover the total amount of the transaction to be refunded. You can find out more about this on the Stripe interface.
4. Editing previously submitted data
You can edit some of your existing settings by clicking on the 👤 icon in the top right corner of the main page and then on the Profile menu. In the Communication preferences section of this menu, you can also specify when and how you want to receive notifications for the accommodation.
The other part can be accessed by clicking on the ⚙︎ icon in the top right corner of the main page under Account details, Public details, Business details and Bank accounts and currencies within the Business settings section.
5. Customizing the Stripe receipt
Click on the ⚙︎ icon in the top right corner of the main page, open option Branding within the Business settings section and customize the layout of the receipts (confirmation of purchase) that are automatically sent after the debit. Upload your accommodation’s icon or logo and then set the main colour of the accommodation. You can use an eyedropper tool to help you select the colour. If you want the logo to appear on the documents instead of the icon, select the “Use logo instead of icon” option.
6. Editing the name of your accommodation in Stripe
If you wish, you can edit the name of the accommodation by first clicking on the small arrow in the top left corner and then on the “Edit” button.
What happens if I don't want to use Stripe?
Those who do not wish to use Stripe still have the option to pay in advance via bank transfer or pay offline using a SZÉP card.
They can also choose the fully automated online credit card payment option, which allows guests to pay the deposit or voucher to the hotel immediately upon making a reservation or purchasing a gift voucher, without the need to manually charge the card or store card details. This saves valuable time and provides a simpler, more modern way for guests to pay, and can even allow online payment using a SZÉP card.
