Setup Guide
1
Create a free Stripe account
Stripe is free to sign up. They charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction — still far less than Airbnb's combined fees.
2
Add your Stripe Secret Key to Cloudflare
In your Stripe Dashboard → Developers → API keys → copy the Secret key (starts with sk_live_...). Then add it to Cloudflare → Workers & Pages → ratelab-pro → Settings → Environment variables → Add variable: STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
3
Add your Webhook Secret
In Stripe → Developers → Webhooks → Add endpoint:
URL: https://ratelab-pro.pages.dev/api/stripe
Events: payment_intent.succeeded, payment_intent.payment_failed, charge.refunded
Copy the Signing Secret → add to Cloudflare as STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET
4
Redeploy on Cloudflare
After adding environment variables: Cloudflare Dashboard → ratelab-pro → Deployments → click ⋯ next to latest → Retry deployment. Takes ~60 seconds.
5
Share your direct booking link
Once set up, each property has a unique booking URL you can share with guests, put in your Airbnb bio, or add to a Google Business profile.
