Connect Stripe
DocksDeck uses Stripe— the payment platform behind millions of businesses — to move money. The important part: it's your Stripe account. Boater payments go directly to you, refunds and disputes are yours to control, and DocksDeck never takes a cut.
Set it up
- Go to Settings → Billing and click Connect Stripe.
- Stripe walks you through its onboarding — business details, bank account for payouts. If you already have a Stripe account, sign in and reuse it.
- When Stripe finishes verifying, the billing page shows Charges enabled and payment features unlock everywhere.
Getting paid for transient stays
Open any reservation and click Request payment. DocksDeck creates a secure Stripe checkout link pre-filled with the quote — send it by email or text, or let the boater pay at the counter. When they pay, the reservation is marked paid automatically.
Seasonal slips: recurring invoices
For seasonal reservations you can start monthly invoicingfrom the reservation page. Stripe emails the boater an invoice each month with a pay-by-card link; you can stop the schedule at any time (end of season, boat sold, etc.).
Fees
Stripe charges its standard processing fee on each card payment (about 2.9% + 30¢ in the US) — the same as any card reader. DocksDeck adds nothing on top. Our only charge is the flat $79/month subscription.
