# Set up Stripe Connect as a business owner

Use the store that will receive the funds. The platform administrator prepares the project settings first. Store owners use the store's Stripe account panel for the connection.

## Open the store's account panel

1. Open **Stores**, select your store, and choose **Payment methods**.
2. Open **Stripe Connect V2** and select **Stripe account**.
3. Follow the connection action shown for the account and complete any provider requirements in Stripe's approved flow. Return to the same store to review the state.

A separate **Stripe Connect** method may exist in an older setup. Confirm which method the store uses before following an older account-link procedure.

## Check status and payouts

Check the connection state and any pending requirements on the account panel. Use **Payouts** to review the store's share of eligible completed orders. The **Platform fee** override is an administrator setting. See [Stripe Connect V2 payouts](https://docs.ordering.co/docs/products/dashboard/addons/stripe-connect/payouts-v2/) for the status meanings.
