# Payment Processing

Take secure payments online and at the front desk by connecting a payment gateway.

## Supported Gateways

* Stripe — cards, wallets, webhooks: [Stripe](https://docs.hostelmate.co/finance-management/payment-processing/stripe)
* Nomod — card payments and POS: [Nomod](https://docs.hostelmate.co/finance-management/payment-processing/nomod)
* Pay at Property — collect payment later at the desk: [Pay at Property](https://docs.hostelmate.co/finance-management/payment-processing/pay-at-property)

## Before You Start

* Create or log in to your gateway account
* Have API keys and webhook secrets ready
* Decide which properties or channels should accept online payments

## Setup Steps (Typical)

1. Open Payment Processing in the finance portal
2. Choose your gateway
3. Enter the required credentials
4. Save and run a small test payment

## Troubleshooting

* Webhooks failing: re-check the signing secret and URL
* Test mode vs live mode: confirm the correct API keys are in use
* Payment not recorded: refresh the booking, then verify gateway logs
