    New website needs embedded PMS/booking engine

    Hi Seashanty, We did not "not recommend it". We were asked for recommendations on alternatives. RK, like many other platforms, is a fine solution. Again, we do't think there is any "perfect" solution. Really it comes down to features, performance, and what works best for the innkeeper.

    Stripe Anyone?

    Hi Duff, Yes, unfortunately Stripe does not handle taxes. Any taxes and/or fees need to be passed to Stripe in one lump sum. You should be able to set-up taxes in your booking engine. Which one are you using?
