What platform can I use to collect STR payments outside of Airbnb?
I'm looking for a payment method or platform for a STR that is not listed on Airbnb. I can only find platforms that manage rental payments for MTR or LTR. Does anyone have a recommendation for a STR method of payment that is easy to use for the guest and can return payments easily in case of cancellations? Thank you!

Zelle, Stripe, PayPal, Venmo etc.
I prefer Zelle as it is supported by all the major banks and transfers are near instant.
I even take checks for reservations that are far enough in the future. I have some guys in a fishing club and when they come to town for a fishing tournament they send me a check. I don't charge them a deposit anymore as they are repeat guests that I trust.
