How do I register with Stripe as a hotel?

Registration with Stripe is semi-automatic. Some of the data will be filled in by the system itself, but some important data (bank account number, telephone number, REGON, position, etc.) must be filled in manually. Your phone number will also be verified, to which a six-digit code will be sent via SMS.

Here are the steps you need to take when registering:

  1. Log in to your animalhotels.com account. Go to Panel, and then select Care Offers from the side menu. At the top of the panel you will see the password: Connect an operator to receive payments for care, and next to it the button Connect Payments.

  2. Click the Connect Payments button. This button will automatically redirect you to the Stripe website. A registration panel will appear in front of you. Registration is semi-automatic, so some data will be completed by the system. The first step is email. It will be automatically entered for you. Click Continue and continue.
