Connect Stripe
Stripe takes your customers' card payments and pays them out to your bank. Connecting it is the step that lets your storefront take money, and it takes about ten minutes if you have your business and bank details to hand.
From $39 a month. 14 days free with a card on file, nothing charged until day 15.
Start the connection
Open Settings, then Payments, and choose Stripe. You are sent to Stripe to create or sign in to the account your payouts land in. Stripe asks for your business details, a contact, and the bank account it pays into.
When you come back, Payments shows whether Stripe has everything it needs. If it is still asking for something, the screen says so and takes you back to finish.
What changes once it is connected
Customers pay by card, Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout. Deposits, balances, weekly charges and refunds all go through the same account.
Payouts follow Stripe's own schedule. The money a customer pays lands in the Stripe account you connected, and Stripe moves it to your bank.
Before you rely on it
Place a test booking on your own storefront: tick Test booking at the pay step and no card is charged. It is the quickest way to see the whole checkout as a customer does.
