Setting up your account

• Sign-up for an account here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register

• Follow the instructions on the front page to help determine what type of integration you want to build

• Activate your account! This is really important to complete so that you can payout to your account

• As you start building out your integration, you’ll also want to be able to safely test. Make sure to get your test and live API keys. You can switch your account view to see test data by using the toggle on the left hand-side bar

• Add your bank account and double-check that it’s correct. We’ll sometimes ask for more information to help us verify your bank account

• After you make your first charge, just note that the first payout for every new Stripe account is made 7 business days after the first successful payment is received - more about this here!
