Connect Stripe & get paid
Set up your merchant account in five steps — identity, bank, tax, wallet, go-live — so members can pay you. You’re the merchant of record.
To take money on KADRE, you connect a Stripe account. You’re the merchant — payments go straight to your bank, and KADRE never holds your money. Sales tax is yours to calculate, collect, and remit, and disputes are yours to answer (we’ll help you fight them). Only the studio owner can run this setup.
The five steps
The setup wizard walks through five readiness checks. Identity and bank details are collected on Stripe’s own secure page — KADRE never sees them. Tax and wallet are set here.
- Identity — verify who you are on Stripe’s secure page, then come back. Stripe may ask for a document; this is the part that can take time to review.
- Bank — add the account Stripe pays out to. Payouts turn on once Stripe has what it needs.
- Tax — add the sales-tax numbers you’re registered for so they appear on your records. You file your own tax (automatic tax calculation isn’t wired yet).
- Wallet — optionally enable Apple Pay / Google Pay so members can tap-to-pay at your checkout.
- Go-live — a read-only checklist that confirms you’re ready to sell.
About tax
You calculate, collect, and remit your own sales tax. Add each region you’re registered in — or attest that you’re exempt for it. Saskatchewan (SK) and Manitoba (MB) have no threshold: you must register from your first sale there.
Why you might still not be “live”
You can sell online once all of these are true for every region you sell into:
- Payments enabled
- Payouts enabled
- Details submitted
- Tax registered or exempt for every region you sell into
If you finished Stripe but aren’t “ready to sell” yet, it’s almost always Stripe still verifying your identity or bank, or a tax region left unregistered. The go-live checklist names the exact blocker.
