# Stripe Integration

Stripe is a secure payment gateway that allows your clients to pay for bookings and invoices directly through the JungleChief Portal.

#### Phase 1: Connect Your Stripe Account

-   In JungleChief, click your **Profile** (top right corner) and select **Administration**.
-   Navigate to **Company Details and Integrations**.
-   Locate the **Stripe** box and click **Activate**.
-   You will be redirected to the Stripe website:
    -   **Existing Users:** Log in with your credentials.
    -   **New Users:** Follow the prompts to create an account. Ensure you have your business registration and tax information ready.

Once completed, you will be automatically returned to JungleChief.

#### Phase 2: Configure Payment Settings

#### After connecting, a **Settings** button will appear in the Stripe Integration box. Click it to configure the following:

**1\. Mandatory Payment on Booking**

Toggle the modules (e.g. Boarding, Daycare) where you want to require upfront payment for bookings taken from the portal. This will in affect in-app bookings.

-   **Enabled:** Clients must pay the full amount via the Portal before their booking request can be submitted.
-   **Disabled:** Clients can submit bookings without paying immediately, though they can still pay via the Portal or an invoice link later.

**2\. Gateway Card Processing Fees**

Decide how the Stripe transaction fees should be handled:

-   **On-Charged:** The processing fee (approx. 3%) is added to the owner’s total. The client covers the cost of the transaction.
-   **Absorbed:** The processing fee is deducted from your total revenue. Your company covers the cost of the transaction.

Ensure you click **Save Changes** at the bottom of the settings window to push your configurations live.
