Set up your Stripe account so tenants can pay you directly.
Stripe handles all the money movement in Domara. When a tenant pays rent, the funds go through Stripe and land in your connected bank account. You need to connect Stripe before you can collect any online payments.
How to connect
- Go to Settings in the sidebar
- Scroll to the Payment Setup section
- Click Connect Stripe Account
- Stripe will walk you through their onboarding — you'll enter:
- Your legal name and business details
- Bank account for payouts
- Identity verification (required by financial regulations)
- Once approved, your status will show as Connected
Payout timing
Stripe typically deposits funds to your bank account within 2-3 business days after a tenant pays. You can check payout status in your Stripe dashboard.
Tips
- This is a one-time setup — once connected, all future payments flow automatically
- Use your real info — Stripe requires accurate identity and bank details for compliance
- No cost to you — there are no Stripe fees for landlords. Transaction fees (3.5% card, $1 ACH) are paid by tenants
