How payments plugins fit in
Payments in Tourtify always go to your own account with your chosen provider. Stripe is built in, and gateway plugins add the methods travellers use in their country. Deposits, balances and receipts work the same whichever gateway a traveller picks; refunds are sent through the provider where its API allows, or recorded when you make them in its dashboard.
