If you have a PMS, you have the option to take payment yourself through Stripe or another payment processor. 

Can take credit card paymemts via Stripe or square(with credit card fee) or direct payments however you accept payment.

Not super happy with it as not super stable but works--Stripe - for running cc on direct booking site and vrbo--turno - for finding cleaners and paying cleaners in big markets--Hostfully guides - been in my list for a while but we still use good ol pdf for the guide.And then publish to all channels.....

You've definitely earned your stripes in it!

Here's mine:PMS: HospitableListings:- Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com (all connected through Hospitable)- Apartments.com- Furnished FinderPayment Processing: I'll use the payment processing on whatever platform I get a booking on, except for direct bookings, in which case I'll use Charge Automation (Stripe is the underlying payment processor we're using with Charge Automation).Smart Pricing: I've been using Beyond pricing, but they charge you for direct bookings and make you submit an excel file at the end of each month indicating which bookings are direct and shouldn't be billable. 

After we gave them a trial on the new system and structure with Stripe, it took 5 - 7 business days to receive our funds; which is unacceptable. 

It's like a fat guy wearing a horizontal striped shirt - not a good look.

You still have to pay a 3% payment processing fee either way, whether to the platform or to something like stripe when you go direct.  

Lower end properties are in my opinion where investors earn their stripes.

Example:  one stripe in parking lot was 12 bucks depreciated over 27.5 years beforeNow it's over 5 years.
