How to Connect Stripe

Stripe Connect lets paid-event hosts receive ticket revenue through their own connected payout account. Use this walkthrough before opening paid ticket sales.

This captioned walkthrough uses the payout setup and ready-state screens. It does not enter real bank details or create a payment during the recording.

Before You Start

  • Sign in to the Bored Mood Studio account that owns the event.

  • Decide whether the event will sell paid tickets. Free events can be created without connecting Stripe.

  • Have the legal, tax, and bank-account details ready for Stripe's hosted onboarding flow.

Connect Payouts

  1. Use Setup Payouts or Connect payouts when prompted for a paid event.

  2. On the Set Up Stripe Payouts screen, choose Connect with Stripe.

  3. Complete Stripe's hosted onboarding. Add identity, business, tax, and bank-account details in Stripe only.

  4. Return to Bored Mood Studio after Stripe redirects back.

  5. Confirm the status screen says Payout Setup Ready before opening paid ticket sales.

If Stripe Needs More Info

Stripe can place new accounts in review or request additional verification. When that happens, the host can keep preparing the event, but paid ticketing should stay blocked until charges and payouts are enabled.

Use Check payout status, Finish payouts setup, or Open Stripe from Manage Events until the account is ready.

Operational Notes

  • Bored Mood Studio does not store bank details directly.

  • The connected payout account is tied to the event owner or organizer profile.

  • Public cohosts do not automatically become payout owners.

  • Before calling payments production-ready, run a low-value live checkout and refund rehearsal or explicitly accept that remaining risk.
