How to Accept Payments with Stripe

Connect your Stripe account to start accepting payments from employers who post jobs.

What is Stripe?

Stripe is a payment processor that handles credit card payments securely. When you connect Stripe:

• Employers can pay with credit cards
• Payments go directly to your bank account
• Stripe handles security and compliance
• You can offer multiple pricing plans

Before you begin

You'll need:

• A Stripe account (create one free at stripe.com)
• Your bank account details for payouts
• Business information (for Stripe verification)

Connect your Stripe account

1. Go to Board settings in the sidebar, then click the Monetization tab
2. Click Connect Stripe to enable payments
3. Log in to your Stripe account (or create one)
4. Complete Stripe's onboarding process
5. Return to Cavuno - your account is now connected

Stripe onboarding

During Stripe setup, you'll provide:

• Business type (individual, company, nonprofit)
• Business address
• Tax ID or Social Security Number
• Bank account for payouts
• Identity verification

This is required by financial regulations and protects both you and your customers.

Verify connection

After connecting:

1. Go to Board settings > Monetization tab
2. You should see your connected Stripe account status
3. If onboarding is incomplete, you'll see a prompt to finish setup

Onboarding status

Stripe may show these statuses:

• Complete: You can accept payments
• Pending: Stripe is reviewing your information
• Incomplete: Additional information needed - click to continue setup

Managing Stripe

After connecting, you can:

• View payments in your Stripe dashboard
• Set up payouts to your bank account
• Handle refunds when needed
• Download financial reports

Disconnecting Stripe

To disconnect your Stripe account:

1. Go to Board settings > Monetization tab
2. Click Disconnect Stripe
3. Confirm the action

Note: Disconnecting stops new payments but doesn't affect existing subscriptions managed through Stripe.

Troubleshooting

• Make sure you completed all Stripe verification steps
