- Open the Payments tab and click the claim link for your account.
- Choose “Create a Stripe account” (email, name, password, country) or sign in to an existing Stripe account.
- Confirm the verification email Stripe sends you.
When do I get paid?
Once live mode is active, real customer payments settle into your Stripe balance and pay out to the bank account you added in step 2 — typically on a 2 to 7 day rolling schedule depending on your country and account history.
All the actions above happen in Stripe's own dashboard. Progress here is your personal checklist — Stripe remains the source of truth.
