# Stripe Connect

> Connect the business payment account and check payout readiness.

Connect the business's Stripe account for supported customer payments and payout
readiness. This is separate from the Stripe subscription the business pays to
Perkstar, and separate from [Resend sending](/integrations/resend).

## Connect

1. Open **Integrations → Stripe Connect → Connect** in the intended business.
2. Follow Stripe's hosted onboarding and confirm the legal business and payment
   account details. Complete any requirements Stripe requests.
3. Return to the Perkstar workspace and inspect account and payout readiness.
4. If onboarding remains incomplete, use the continuation action and complete the
   outstanding provider requirements. Do not create a duplicate payment account.

## Confirm it is ready

Authorisation alone does not mean that charging or payouts are enabled. Review the
provider's requirements and the intended paid-card or commerce setup. Use the
supported test workflow before accepting real customer payments; do not charge a
customer merely to check the integration.

## Ownership and recovery

The business owns its Stripe account and is responsible for accurate onboarding
information. Stripe controls its verification and payout requirements. Use the
workspace management action to reopen the provider account when permitted. If a
requirement cannot be resolved, contact support with the account and visible error;
never share banking credentials or secret keys in documentation or chat.
