Stripe allows your customers to pay with credit cards, debit cards, and Apple Pay on your store's checkout page. Here's how to set it up and manage your Stripe integration.

Connect Your Stripe Account:

1. Navigate to [Payments] in your store settings
2. Click [Connect Existing Stripe Account]
3. Log in to your existing Stripe account or create a new one
4. Complete account verification if prompted

Note: Disable pop-up blockers if the connection window doesn't appear.

Testing Payments:

1. Enable Test Mode in your payment settings
2. Use test credit cards to simulate transactions without real charges

Important Considerations:

• Use one Stripe account per site to avoid connection issues
• Afterpay/Clearpay integration available for eligible merchants
• Bank accounts can be linked to multiple Stripe accounts
• Password changes may require reconnection

Managing Your Integration:

1. Disconnect Stripe:
   • Go to [Settings] > [Sales] > [Payments]
   • Click [Manage] under [Accept Payments with Stripe]
   • Select [Disconnect Stripe]
   • Note: This cancels active subscriptions
