Flexible and Secure Payments via Stripe

Seamless transactions for both travelers and guides — powered by Stripe.

Stripe Payment

Payments Made Simple with Stripe

GoDantes uses Stripe to ensure secure, reliable, and smooth transactions. Travelers can pay for services using their credit or debit cards through Stripe's checkout system. Guides, on the other hand, must have an active Stripe account as freelancers to receive payments.

Once a traveler books a service, the payment is securely held in GoDantes' platform account. The funds will be released to the guide's Stripe account only after the service is completed and the traveler confirms satisfaction. This process ensures protection and trust for both parties.

  • Accepts all major credit and debit cards.
  • Guides receive payouts within 1–3 business days after service confirmation.
  • Industry-leading security and fraud prevention.
  • Multi-currency and global availability in 40+ countries.
  • Easy onboarding — create your Stripe account in minutes.

Hear from guides who turned their passion into profit.

"What started as a side hustle showing visitors my favorite street art spots has become my full-time passion. Last month I earned more than I did at my old office job!"

"After retiring, I began sharing my knowledge of local history. Now I earn enough to travel myself while making friends from around the world."

"I was skeptical at first, but within 6 months I was able to quit my restaurant job. Showing visitors authentic food markets is so much more rewarding!"
