Test the Setup of the Payment Gateway
You will have to test the payment gateway once it is setup by creating a test reservation and processing a small charge. Instructions can be found here.
IMPORTANT: Your first charge when using Stripe.com
Your first payout is typically available 7 days after you add your bank account and take your first successful payment on Stripe. This waiting period can be up to 14 days for businesses in certain industries, and up to 30 days in countries like Brazil. This delay allows Stripe to mitigate some of the risks inherent in providing credit services.
