Please note that Stripe does not allow for security deposits to be pre-authorised for more than 7 days from the point of pre-authorisation. To help overcome this, we have developed two options:
1- The security deposit extend module that automatically authorises the deposit again and this goes on according to security deposit timeline settings
2- To auto-capture and auto-refund funds to be held as a security deposit. This will allow you to keep a security deposit for bookings of any length.
That's it! You have now connected your Stripe account and are ready to receive payments directly from guests!
