Payment Accounts and Online Payments

4 min read

An organization on Mangobeds can have multiple properties and also multiple payment accounts. In order to manage your payment accounts, navigate to your organization > payments. Here, you can view all the payment accounts associated with your organization.

You have the flexibility to use the same payment account for multiple properties or set up different payment accounts for each property.

Once a payment account is selected and linked to a property it can not be removed mainly because all the guests and payments will be linked to that account.

Setting up a Payment account for online payments on Mangobeds is quick and easy. Follow these steps to start!

Step 1: Access Property Settings

First, log in to your account. Navigate to the dashboard and select ‘Settings’ from the menu. This area allows you to manage all the details related to your property.

Step 2: Set Up Payment Account

Within ‘Settings’, go to the ‘Payments’ tab and click on the ‘Set Up Payment Account’ button to get started. You will be able to use an account from your organization or create a new one. Selecting a new one may redirect you to a new webpage where you can configure your payment settings.

Step 3: Enter Your Details

Mangobeds connects to a wide range of payment providers, including PayPal, Stripe, Mercado Pago, PayU, Razorpay, Airwallex, Toss Payments, Tilopay, Pagadito, PagBank, Xendit, PayHere, Bold, Eximbay, 2Checkout and more. The exact details you enter depend on the provider you pick, and the setup form automatically shows the right fields for that provider.

Most providers ask for credentials you generate inside your own account with them, such as an API key, a merchant or client ID, and a secret key. A few are simpler. With PayPal, for example, the only information needed is the email address where payments will be sent. Others, like Stripe, walk you through entering your company or personal information and your bank account details so that payments land directly in your account.

Whichever provider you choose, have your account credentials and bank details handy before you start, then follow the on-screen labels for each field. If you are unsure where to find a value, you can usually copy it from your dashboard in that provider’s website.

Step 4: Configure Additional Settings

Once your payment information is set up, you can also modify your booking configurations in the Booking forms.

Choose whether to require a deposit at the time of booking and determine the amount. This can secure bookings and reduce no-shows.

Setting up your online payments not only streamlines your booking process but also makes it easier for guests to secure their stay, enhancing their overall booking experience.

Which cards and payment methods can guests use?

Guests pay by credit or debit card on the checkout page of the provider you connect, and Mangobeds never adds a commission on top of it. Which card brands a guest sees is decided by that provider and by your country:

  • Stripe: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, JCB and China UnionPay, plus SEPA Direct Debit and bank transfer.
  • PayPal: Visa, Mastercard and American Express. Guests do not need a PayPal account, because the card form is the page they land on and the PayPal login sits beside it as the smaller option.
  • Airwallex: international and local cards and wallets in more than 30 currencies.
  • 2Checkout: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Discover and Diners Club, plus local wallets and bank transfers.
  • Redsys: the cards your Spanish bank accepts, on the contract you already have with it.
  • Revolut: cards, Revolut Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
  • Mercado Pago: international Visa, Mastercard and American Express, plus Pix, boleto and installments.
  • PagBank: Brazilian cards, Pix and boleto. It cannot charge foreign cards, so properties that need those connect Mercado Pago or Stripe as well.
  • Razorpay: cards, UPI, netbanking and wallets.
  • Toss Payments: cards, easy-pay (Toss Pay, Naver Pay, Kakao Pay), bank transfer and virtual accounts.
  • Eximbay: foreign Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express and China UnionPay, plus Alipay, WeChat Pay and Korean local cards.
  • PayHere: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Diners Club, plus local wallets such as eZ Cash, mCash, Genie and FriMi.
  • Bold, Tilopay, Xendit and Pagadito: cards, plus the local methods their markets use.
  • PayU: the methods it offers in each Latin American country, listed in its connection guide.

Each provider has its own connection guide with the full list, and you can connect more than one if your guests come from different places. When a card cannot be taken at that moment, because the guest is on the phone or their card is refused, send them a payment link instead.
