How hotel Stripe integration works with ChargeAutomation

Stripe securely processes transactions while ChargeAutomation adds hospitality-specific payment automation designed for hotel operations. Together, the integration automates the full payment lifecycle, including payment collection, failed payment recovery, OTA virtual card processing, security deposit handling, and cancellation policy enforcement.
