How to register with Stripe as a hotel?

Registration with Stripe is semi-automated. The system will fill in some data for you but you need to enter a few important details manually (bank account number, phone number, REGON - National Business Registry Number, position, etc.). Your phone number will also be verified with a six-digit code sent by SMS.

Here are the steps you need to follow during the registration:

  1. Log in to your animalhotels account. Go to the Panel, and then from the side menu, select Care Offers. At the top of the panel, you will see a message: Connect the operator to receive payments, and next to it, a Connect Payments button.
  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. The registration is semi-automatic, so some data will be filled in by the system. The first step is the email. It will be automatically entered for you. Click Continue to proceed.
  3. In this step, your phone number will be verified. Within a few seconds, you receive an SMS with a six-digit code, which you need to enter in the appropriate field. After entering the correct code, you will be automatically moved to the next page.
  4. As a hotel, you run a registered business, so you identify as a Company. Choose the type of business you operate. In most cases, hotels are Private Companies. Select the appropriate type from the list and select Continue.
  5. On this page, fill in the details about your company. In the industry field, select Other Services For The Public. In the company website field, you can paste the link to your offer on animalhotels.com, to your company's social media or your website.
  6. As the company representative, enter your personal details. The email will be automatically filled in. After filling in the remaining fields, select Continue.
  7. On this page, choose Add another owner and select yourself from the list. Click Done, continue. The next two steps can be skipped without filling in the details. They pertain to directors and managers but they are not required.
  8. At this stage, Stripe needs to obtain information about the currency of your payments and the account number where your earnings will be deposited.
  9. In this section, check if your details are correct. If everything looks good, select Done. After clicking the button, your data will be verified in real-time.
