Stripe setup lets your practice securely accept payments and get fast, reliable payouts through Stripe Connect. It also powers RepeatMD features like in‑app checkouts, memberships, and financing, so renewals and payouts run smoothly without extra work for your team.

How To Set UP

When you receive your Stripe Setup link from RepeatMD, you’ll use it to create and verify your Stripe account so you can start receiving payments from transactions in your app. This guide covers the setup process specifically for Canadian businesses.


Step 1: Open Your Stripe Setup Link

  1. Click the setup link provided by RepeatMD.

  2. Enter the email address you want to use as your primary Stripe login.

Note: Use an email you check regularly. Stripe will send important account and payout notifications here.

3. Enter your phone number to enable two-factor authentication (2FA).

  • Stripe will send a 6-digit code.

  • Enter the code to confirm your login.


Step 2: Select Business Type

  1. After logging in, you’ll be taken to the Business Details section.

  2. Confirm your Business Type. Options include:

    • Individual / Sole Proprietorship

    • Company

    • Non-Profit

  3. By default, most clients should select Company.

Tip: If you’re incorporated in Canada, select Company and provide your official registration details.


Step 3: Add Business Details

Stripe will now ask for your business information:

  • Legal business name.

  • Corporation number (7-digit) or Quebec enterprise number (NEQ) (10-digit).

  • Doing Business As (DBA) name (optional).

  • Business address.

  • Business phone number.

  • Industry type: search for “Medical” and select the best fit (e.g. Other Medical Services).

  • Product description: provide a short description of your services.


Step 4: Add Business Representative Information

Stripe requires details for a business representative or owner:

  • First and last name.

  • Personal email address.

  • Job title.

  • Date of birth

  • Physical home address.

  • Phone number.

Note: You’ll also need to confirm whether this representative owns 25% or more of the company and whether they serve as a director or board member.


Step 5: Add Additional Owners & Directors

  1. If there are multiple individuals who own 25% or more, Stripe will require their information as well.

  2. You’ll also need to confirm the directors of the company.

  3. Stripe may ask you to upload one of the following documents for verification:

    • Articles of Incorporation or Association

    • Corporate Profile Report

    • Notice of Articles / Notice of Change of Directors (Form 6, 4006, or 3006)

    • Board meeting minutes

    • Signed company resolution confirming directors

Tip: Prepare your corporate documents ahead of time to avoid delays in the verification process.


Step 6: Connect Your Bank Account

To receive payouts, connect a Canadian bank account by entering:

  • Transit number

  • Institution number

  • Account number

Stripe will confirm the account details before saving.

Note: Debit cards are not supported in Canada for Stripe payouts — you must use a bank account.


Step 7: Add Public Business Details

  1. Provide your public business descriptor (this is what patients will see on their bank statements).

  2. Enter a support phone number patients can call if they have questions about charges.


Step 8: Review & Submit

  1. Review each section carefully:

    • Business type and details

    • Business representative(s)

    • Owners and directors

    • Bank account information

    • Public details

  2. Fix anything marked Invalid or Incomplete.

  3. Items marked Verifying can take time to process but do not prevent submission.

  4. Click Agree and Submit to finalize.


Step 9: Confirmation

  • Once submitted, Stripe will start the verification process.

  • Verification may take a few days depending on whether documents are needed.

  • Stripe will contact you directly if further information is required.
