By using Stripe, we ensure that your funds not only reach you securely, but also quickly - at no point do we at Let’s Do This hold your funds before they reach you.

This article explains how to to get yourself set up on Stripe if you don't already have an account. If you already have one, you can skip to the bottom of this article and click the 'Connect Stripe' button.
