Chapter 13 — Connections

Everything Bunkpost connects to

Stripe payments, RemoteLock gate control, WiFi vouchers, calendar files, accounting exports — and an honest list of what's on the roadmap.

At a glance

Live today
Stripe Connect payments, RemoteLock gate control, WiFi voucher pools, calendar files, QuickBooks-ready exports, Google & Facebook sign-in.
The philosophy
Connect the systems your park already runs, so a reservation drives them automatically.
On the roadmap
Twelve named integrations below — built in the order real parks ask for them.
Setup effort
Every live integration is connect-and-go from Settings. No API keys, no webhooks, no developer.

Payments: Stripe Connect

Payments are the load-bearing integration, and they run on Stripe Connect — the same infrastructure behind Shopify and Lyft. From Settings → General, Stripe's guided onboarding links your bank account in about ten minutes. From then on: guests pay on Stripe's hosted checkout, the money is processed on your own Stripe account, and payouts land in your bank daily— automatically, without a “request payout” button in sight.

The connection carries the whole money lifecycle: cards saved on file for balances and store charges, refunds issued from the reservation, monthly invoices with hosted pay links, and the payout reconciliationthat unpacks each bank deposit. Card rates are Stripe's standard published rates; Bunkpost adds no percentage of its own — the model is a flat $3 guest booking fee, explained on the pricing page.

RemoteLock: the gate that reads the calendar

Connect your RemoteLock account, pick which gate or door devices Bunkpost should manage, and every reservation gets its own gate PIN — valid from arrival day through checkout day, delivered on the stay page and in the reminder email. Cancel the reservation and the PIN dies with it. No more whiteboard of codes, no more gate code that half the county knows.

WiFi vouchers: works with what you have

If your park WiFi hands out access codes — UniFi, Guest Internet, Omada, most captive portals — export a batch and paste it into Settings → Guest info. Bunkpost hands each stay its codes at check-in (you choose how many, up to 20) and tracks the pool so you know when to top it up. Details in Team, security & guest info.

The quiet ones

  • Calendar files (iCal): every stay page offers an add-to-calendar file that drops the trip into Apple, Google, or Outlook calendars.
  • Accounting exports: the transactions CSV maps onto QuickBooks columns — reports chapter has the column list.
  • Google & Facebook sign-in: for you and your staff — one less password.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile: invisible bot protection on public forms, so the waitlist collects campers instead of spam.

On the roadmap

These are named in the app today with a “tell us which one your park needs first” button, and that button is not decorative — roadmap order follows real requests from real parks.

Stripe TerminalPlanned

Card-present processing for the camp store and front desk on Stripe's smart readers — tap, dip, done, with the sale recorded in the same books.

QuickBooks OnlinePlanned

Direct sync of payments, refunds, and fees — retiring the CSV import for parks that live in QuickBooks.

HipcampPlanned

Channel connection so Hipcamp bookings land on your Bunkpost calendar with availability synced both ways.

Spot2NitePlanned

Same idea for the Spot2Nite marketplace: their demand, your calendar, no double entry.

The DyrtPlanned

Availability and bookings synced with The Dyrt's camping audience.

Sensible WeatherPlanned

Optional weather guarantees at checkout — guests get paid back for washed-out days, you keep the booking.

4ControlPlanned

Metered pedestal power read automatically, feeding electric charges straight onto long-term invoices.

4WiFiPlanned

Park WiFi access provisioned per stay, without the voucher pool.

UniFi & Omada WiFiPlanned

Direct API connections to generate guest WiFi codes on demand instead of importing voucher batches.

License plate recognitionPlanned

Camera-based gate entry: the reservation's plate opens the gate, no code to type at 11 p.m.

3CX phone integrationPlanned

Caller ID that opens the guest's reservation before you say hello.

SMS notificationsPlanned

Text-message confirmations and reminders alongside email, once US carrier registration stops being the expensive part.
