Deposits and balances land on your own bank account, through your own Stripe account. The money never passes through Mon Gîte Direct, and we take no commission on your bookings.
What to have ready
An identity document, an IBAN in your name, your address, your status, and a description of activity. Also decide what appears on your guests' bank statements: use the name of your property, not your surname — it prevents "I don't recognise this charge" disputes.
The steps
Dashboard → Payments → Connect my Stripe account. You are redirected to a form hosted by Stripe; we never see your credentials or your documents. If you already have a Stripe account, sign in to it rather than creating a second one.
While verification is pending
Your website stays online but offers a booking request without online payment. Your dashboard lists exactly what Stripe is still waiting for.
Fees
Stripe charges its own fees on each payment, published on its website. They are yours, as are refunds and disputes — the counterpart of an account that belongs to you.
