You connect Stripe from **Settings > Connections**: click "Create my account" to start Stripe's identity verification, and once it's validated, you can charge your clients by card from the dashboard.

## Create your Stripe account

On the Connections page, the Stripe card shows your current status: not connected, verification pending, or active. If you don't have an account yet, click "Create my account": you're redirected to Stripe's verification form (identity, bank details). Once the form is complete, you're brought back to your dashboard automatically.

## Track your connection status

- **Not connected**: no Stripe account created yet.
- **Verification pending**: the form has been submitted, Stripe is finishing the review.
- **Active**: card payments are available to charge your clients.

Once active, a button lets you jump straight to your Stripe dashboard to check your payouts and bank details.

## Choose your payment methods

Once Stripe is active, go to **Settings > Deposits & payments** to turn on the payment methods you accept: card, cash, and, depending on your plan, split payment. Card payment and split payment stay greyed out until Stripe is active.

## Edge cases

**Account creation fails.** A message explains why (expired session, network error...). Simply restart the creation from the Connections page.

**You don't want online payment.** You can state that explicitly while setting up your studio; you can always change your mind later from this page.

**Split payment doesn't show up.** This option depends on both Stripe being active and your subscription plan.

## What's next

Once Stripe is connected, you can collect a deposit or offer remote payment to your clients.
