Why Map Properties to Stripe Accounts
If you manage properties across multiple LLCs, ownership structures, or currency regions, you likely need payouts going to different bank accounts. By default, all direct booking revenue routes to your primary Stripe account. Property mapping lets you override that on a per-property basis.
Common scenarios where this matters:
- Multiple ownership entities. You co-host for different owners and each owner needs their own Stripe account for tax and legal reasons.
- Different currencies. A property in Mexico should pay out in MXN to a Mexican bank account; a property in the US pays out in USD. Stripe handles currency conversion, but each account needs to be set up for the correct country.
- Keeping income streams separate. Even as a solo operator, you may want rental income to hit different accounts for accounting purposes.
This feature requires the Amplify plan. On Core or Growth, all properties share a single connected Stripe account.
Prerequisites
Before you can assign a property to a Stripe account, that account must already be connected in Futurestay. If you haven’t connected your additional Stripe accounts yet, go to Integrations > Stripe and add each account through the setup flow. Each account goes through Stripe’s standard identity and bank verification process before it can receive payouts.
How to Assign a Property
- Go to Integrations > Stripe in your Futurestay account.
- Find the Property Mapping section below your connected accounts.
- For each property, use the dropdown to select which Stripe account should receive its payouts.
- Save your changes.
The assignment takes effect on new bookings. Existing bookings that were already processed are not affected; those payouts will still go to the account that was active at the time of the transaction.
What Happens at Checkout
Guests don’t see any of this. The checkout experience on your booking site looks the same regardless of which Stripe account is assigned to the property. Futurestay routes the payment behind the scenes to the correct account based on the mapping you’ve set up.
Processing fees (3.5% domestic, 4.5% cross-border) apply per transaction regardless of which account receives the payout.
A Note on Multiple Currencies
If you have properties in different countries, make sure each Stripe account is set up for the correct country and currency. Stripe does not automatically convert between currencies within a single account. Mismatched currency setups can cause payout delays or failures in Stripe. When in doubt, set up the Stripe account from within the country where the property is located.
