Getting a head start - Setting up Stripe

The on-boarding process with the Good Sam Reservation platform includes several steps that your Implementation Specialist will guide you through. To get a head start, you can complete the 9-step Stripe sign-up process before your first Kick-Off call. This takes about 20–30 minutes and is best done on a laptop or desktop computer rather than a mobile device.

Stripe is the online payment processor we use to handle your guests’ reservation payments. Creating a Stripe account is an essential step in getting your Good Sam Booking platform set up and ready to go.
