When a guest completes a booking on your website, you may not see a Stripe charge right away. This is normal.
Why this happens. The website checkout validates the guest’s card with Stripe and saves it as a payment method on the reservation, but it does not move money. Your PMS runs the actual charge according to your payment automation settings, after the reservation is created.
When the charge appears. The charge appears when your PMS executes its payment schedule. Guesty batches its charge attempts roughly hourly, so even a charge set to run at booking can take up to an hour to appear.
