Website Update & Stripe Integration

My short-term rental website is up and running, but I need two key improvements to streamline bookings and reduce manual work.

First, I want the site’s availability calendar to stay perfectly in sync with my Airbnb listings. A real-time two-way iCal connection is essential so guests never see outdated dates or double-booked nights. Once the feeds are pulling and pushing correctly, I’ll need a quick walk-through (screencast or brief doc) showing how to refresh or troubleshoot the sync if Airbnb makes future changes.

Second, I’m ready to accept card payments directly on the site. I have decided on Stripe for its clean checkout flow and strong fraud protection, so the job includes installing and configuring Stripe, creating the required webhooks, and testing end-to-end to confirm that bookings trigger payment and that receipts land in both the guest’s inbox and mine. If any small front-end tweaks are needed to slot the payment form naturally into the existing pages, please include them.

Deliverables:
• Live two-way Airbnb calendar sync with demonstrated success on at least one test reservation
• Fully integrated Stripe checkout, webhooks, and confirmation emails tested in live mode
• Short hand-off guide covering how to add future properties, locate Stripe transactions, and manage iCal feeds

Everything else on the site can stay as is; no design overhaul is required. If you have experience with Stripe, iCal, and hospitality platforms, this should be a smooth project. I’m available for quick answers so we can get this wrapped up and taking direct bookings without delay.
