New feature highlight: Stripe Connect https://www.solidres.com/blog/2025/10/21/new-feature-highlight-stripe-connect/ Tue, 21 Oct 2025 08:33:37 +0000 http://www.solidres.com/blog/?p=1185

We’re excited to announce the latest addition to Solidres – seamless integration with Stripe Connect!

This new feature makes payment management simpler and more flexible than ever, especially for multi-property booking portals built with Solidres.

With Stripe Connect, each property owner on your platform can receive payments directly into their own Stripe account. That means no more manual fund transfers, complicated revenue splits, or bookkeeping headaches. Solidres now automates the entire flow — from customer payment to fund distribution — while keeping full transparency for both the portal owner and individual property managers.

For booking portal operators, Stripe Connect also provides powerful tools to manage commissions, refunds, and payouts securely, all within Stripe’s trusted ecosystem. Guests can enjoy a smooth, professional checkout experience using modern payment methods including credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.

In short, the new Stripe Connect integration helps you:

  • Simplify payment handling for multiple properties
  • Automate commission and payout management
  • Enhance trust and convenience for both guests and property owners

This marks another step forward in Solidres’s mission to help you build a professional, scalable accommodation booking system on Joomla.

To learn more or start using Stripe Connect, please wait for the upcoming Solidres 3.4.0 release, then check out the updated documentation and release notes on our website.
