## Short answer

GuruHotel processes hotel payments through Stripe — its payments partner since 2019 — supporting Checkout, Elements, Payment Links, Link, Apple Pay and Google Pay. Guests pay in their own currency inside the booking flow, with Stripe's fraud protection, and payments reconcile with your reservations automatically.

## Overview

Why payment processing makes or breaks direct bookings

A guest who has to re-type card details on a clunky form abandons. A guest who can pay with Link, Apple Pay or Google Pay in one tap completes the booking. Payment UX is conversion infrastructure — especially on mobile, where most hotel bookings happen.

Stripe under the hood, since 2019

GuruHotel has processed payments with Stripe since 2019, using Checkout, Elements, Payment Links, Link, Apple Pay and Google Pay. That means bank-grade security, PCI compliance handled by Stripe, and the payment methods guests already trust.

Multi-currency for international guests

Hotels in Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe sell to travelers from everywhere. GuruHotel's checkout supports multiple currencies with smart currency detection, so a guest from Berlin pays in euros while your property operates in pesos or dollars.

Payments that match your reservations

Because payments live inside the booking engine, every charge maps to a reservation — see our payments orchestration for how authorization, capture and refunds stay aligned with your PMS records.
