GuestyPay

Also known as: Stripe Connect for Guesty · Guesty Payments

GuestyPay is the native payment gateway built into the Guesty PMS, powered by Stripe Connect. It lets a cottage operator charge the guest directly (credit card, bank transfer in some countries), hold security-deposit pre-authorizations, and receive funds in their own Stripe account without ever routing through the operator's servers.

SEO/conversion win: the card is entered on Stripe's hosted page (PCI DSS Level 1) — the operator stays out of PCI scope and checkout is fully encrypted with zero integration effort.

Reserver.ca uses GuestyPay for every direct booking: no card number ever touches our infrastructure, and funds release to the owner's Stripe account on the agreed schedule (typically at guest arrival).

GuestyPay fees are around 2.9% + CA$0.30 per transaction (standard Stripe rate), to compare with Airbnb's 14–17% commission. That's the central economic case for direct booking.
