Hi and welcome back.
Today we're going to go over how to get started with Stripe.
For this please go to stripe.com
This is their official website.
And then what you'll need to do is make sure that you can sign up.
In order to sign up, just click on sign in button right here.
And then you can click on sign up button given here.
And then you can get started with setting up your Stripe account.
For this I'm going to choose my best programming tools, gmail for example.
And I'm going to type in my first name and last name.
My country is United States.
Please make sure that your country is available for Stripe.
Otherwise you might not be able to use it.
And if that's the case then unfortunately you can't integrate.
But there are many other choices such as PayPal which should be easy to integrate.
And if you're going to be interested, please leave a review in the comments
and I'll make sure to include this section in the future.
And just create your password right here.
I'm going to type in mine and need a stronger password.
Okay, let's give it stronger password and let's continue with the process.
Now I'm going to have to verify my email address.
Great. I'm not going to confirm anything here.
And here we go.
I have my Stripe email address.
I'm going to verify it and then I'll just
keep my business profile for now and then I'm just going to activate my payment.
So here there's going to be some questions asked.
I'm going to say their business location is in United States.
Type of business is individual because I
actually don't have any kind of corporation that I could tie this to.
Then I'm going to have to enter some detail then just continue on.
I'm going to say their industry software.
I don't have a business website so I'm just going to continue on here.
It asks us on average,
how long after paying will your customers typically receive their goods or services.
So let's say within two weeks.
Let's continue.
I'm not going to enter any public details. Okay.
So I'll have to enter it. That's okay.
I can just say my business descriptor is programming tool.
Programming could be this and then you're going to have to tie your bank to this.
So search for your bank,
choose your provider and make sure that you can look great.
And once you're done with that then you can just click on continue.
You can choose a way to secure an account.
I'm going to use SMS and once you are done with that, choose your tax calculation.
I'll just say no thanks and also say no thanks.
Your account is going to look something like this.
And we are going to be using the developer test mode.
So you can activate this and go
to payments and you should see no payments made.
I made some transactions to test out my payment system and we're going to be
doing this in our upcoming lessons together when we're going to be
integrating Stripe payment system into our account.
So this is how easy it is to set up
a payment account and we're going to be integrating Stripe into our application
very soon so hopefully you were able to set up stripe.
If out, please send in a request inside
the comments and I'll make sure to show you how to integrate with a payment system
such as PayPal which is available in more countries than stripe is.
Thanks so much for watching and I'll see you in the next video.
