Set up Stripe Connect as a business owner

Back to the main guide

This procedure describes the business-owner step of an existing marketplace configuration. It does not determine the marketplace’s charge pattern, merchant-of-record responsibility, fee calculation, negative-balance liability, or payout policy.

Before you start​

  • Confirm that the platform-level Stripe Connect configuration was approved for this project.
  • Confirm that you are authorized to select the business’s Stripe account.
  • Use the account intended for this business; do not authorize a personal or another business’s account by mistake.
  • Expect Stripe to collect or update requirements as needed. A returned authorization page does not prove that account capabilities are enabled.
  1. Open the business’s Store settings and select Payment methods.
  2. Select Stripe Connect when it is available.
  3. Select Connect With Stripe to open the provider authorization or onboarding page.
  4. Review the selected Stripe account and complete only the provider requirements shown for that account.
  5. Return to the Dashboard, review the displayed connection fields, and select Save only through an approved configuration workflow.

Verify the result​

The returned Dashboard view, populated field, or successful save does not prove that the connected account can accept charges, receive transfers, receive payouts, or process a particular customer payment. Verify those states in the approved provider and test environments, following Stripe’s current connected-account onboarding guidance.
