Connect Stripe
Connect Stripe to accept payments for beats, licenses, and memberships from your own WordPress site.
Connect Stripe
Banaslap Studio uses Stripe Connect to let you accept payments directly from your own beat store.
After Stripe is connected, customers can buy beats, choose licenses, join memberships, and complete checkout from your WordPress website.
Before you start
Make sure you have:
- installed Banaslap Studio;
- activated your Banaslap Studio license;
- administrator access to your WordPress site;
- a Stripe account;
- your business or personal payout information ready for Stripe.
Step 1: Open Banaslap OS
In your WordPress admin, go to:
**Banaslap OS -> Settings -> Stripe / Payments**
Find the **Stripe Connect** section.
Step 2: Start Stripe onboarding
Click **Connect Stripe**.
You will be redirected to Stripe to connect or create your Stripe account.
Follow the steps shown by Stripe. Depending on your country and account type, Stripe may ask for business details, identity verification, payout information, and website information.
Step 3: Return to WordPress
After completing the Stripe flow, you will be redirected back to your WordPress site.
Banaslap Studio will update your Stripe connection status automatically.
