Secure checkout
Rental payments are processed through Stripe's secure payment infrastructure. Redmond Rentals does not ask you to send card details by message or directly to another member.
Deposits are authorized
A security deposit is authorized separately from the rental payment. It is released when the tool is returned in good condition and only captured for an approved damage claim.
Owners are paid through Stripe
Tool owners complete Stripe Connect Express onboarding so their payout details and identity verification are handled securely by Stripe.
For renters
What happens when you rent
- Submit a request with your rental dates and payment details.
- After the owner approves, Stripe processes the rental payment.
- If required, Stripe authorizes the refundable security deposit separately.
- When the tool is returned in good condition, the deposit hold is released.
For tool owners
Getting paid securely
Before your listing can receive rental payouts, complete Stripe Connect Express onboarding from your profile. Stripe collects the required identity and payout-account information directly.
- Open your profile and choose Set up Stripe payouts.
- Complete Stripe's identity and bank-account verification.
- Once payouts are enabled, approved rental payments can be routed to you automatically.
A few important reminders
- • Never share your card number, security code, password, or Stripe login with another member.
- • Keep rental communication and payment activity inside Redmond Rentals whenever possible.
- • Rental requests are limited to 5 days so the security-deposit authorization stays within Stripe's supported window.
- • For complete terms, review the Rental Agreement.
