Connect Stripe to accept cards

How payments work on Renterra

There are two separate money flows, and it's worth understanding both:

• Your renters → you. When a customer pays by card, the payment goes through your own Stripe account and into your bank. Renterra is just the booking software in front of it — we don't hold or skim your rental income.
• You → Renterra. Your Renterra subscription is the flat $9/month + 1¢ per booking. That's the only thing Renterra ever charges you. (See Account & billing.)

In short: we take no percentage of your sales. Card processing fees are Stripe's standard rates, paid to Stripe, on your own account.

Connect your Stripe

1. In your admin at renterra.app/app, open Settings → Payments.
2. Choose Connect Stripe. You'll be taken to Stripe to either sign in to your existing account or create one.
3. Complete Stripe's quick onboarding (your business details and the bank account where payouts should land).
4. You're returned to Renterra with cards switched on. Your storefront now offers card checkout in addition to (or instead of) cash.

Renterra uses Stripe Connect, which means your account stays yours — your payouts, your dashboard, your control.

Deposits on cards

Once Stripe is connected you can collect security deposits at the time of booking and handle balances through Stripe. See Deliveries & deposits for how to set deposit amounts.

Switching back to cash

You can change your payment mode in Settings → Payments at any time. Many owners run a mix — cash for local will-call, cards for deliveries and larger events.

Card acceptance requires a Stripe account in good standing in a country Stripe supports. Processing fees are set by Stripe and charged on your own account.
