This is the bit where your Skillstore actually becomes a business. Stripe handles all the payment stuff so you can focus on what you're good at: sharing your skills.
Once you're connected, every time someone buys from you, the money lands in your account. Simple.
How to connect
You'll see a prompt to connect Stripe on your Home page as soon as you log in. Click it and follow the steps.
Or go the long way:
Click Settings in the user menu (it opens straight to Payments)
Hit Connect with Stripe
Follow Stripe's setup (takes about 5 minutes)
Done. You're ready to get paid
Once connected, you'll see four green ticks confirming everything's working.
What you'll need
Your bank account details
ID verification (Stripe requires this for payouts)
A few minutes of patience
When do I get paid?
Your first payout typically takes 7-14 days while Stripe verifies your account. After that, payouts happen automatically, usually within 2-7 business days depending on your country.
You can check your payout schedule and track everything in your Stripe Dashboard. There's a button in your Skillstore payment settings that takes you straight there.
Don't have a Stripe account yet?
No stress. You'll create one during the connection process. It's free.
The bottom line: Until Stripe is connected, your Skillstore is just a portfolio. Connect it, and it becomes an income stream.
