How to Set Up a Stripe Account
How to Set Up a Stripe Account
a. Enter your Business Name and Business Website. If hosting a personal event, use the name of your event as the business and your EventCreate URL as the website.
b. Select one-off payments as your payment feature.
c. Choose your Business Type. If hosting a personal event, select Unregistered Business and No for EIN.
d. Provide your Business or Personal Details. If hosting a personal event, enter your personal details, including the last 4 digits of your SSN.
e. Enter your business or event information.
f. Specify the information that should be included on receipts.
g. Connect your bank account using Link, a secure service.
h. Secure your account by setting up two-step authentication.
i. Stripe will ask about tax collection. You can skip this part, as EventCreate doesn't charge ticket tax or VAT. Instead, we recommend including tax or VAT in your ticket pricing so that the amount you specify is the total amount to charge the customer, inclusive of any fees or taxes that they should be charged.
4. When your account is connected, you'll see a Payments Activated screen.
5. You can also confirm that your account is connected when your Payment Status is Active.
If you see an error on EventCreate that Stripe needs more information, please log into Stripe account to provide additional details requested.
6. If you need to change the Stripe account that is connected to your EventCreate account, go to eventcreate.com/dashboard/profile and select Stripe Payments.
You'll be able to confirm that Stripe is connected, view Stripe Dashboard, or Disconnect Stripe.
