What Stripe asks for when you connect

When you press “Connect with Stripe” in the “Payouts” box on your dashboard, you leave AVP.Live and land on a page hosted by Stripe. Stripe's own pages describe it as a web form that collects business and identity verification information. You type your bank details into Stripe's form. AVP.Live does not ask for them or store them.

Stripe's own pages say the form changes with the country, the business type and what the account is set up to do, so yours may not match another organization's. In general, expect to be asked for:

• Details about you, or about the person who represents your organization, such as a name, a date of birth and an address.
• Details about your organization or business, which can include its name and address and a website or a description of what you sell.
• A bank account for your payouts, so have your bank's details to hand.
• An identity document, if Stripe needs to check who you are.
• Your agreement to Stripe's terms. Your organization's terms with AVP.Live say you accept the Stripe Connected Account Agreement when you connect.

You can leave the form and come back. Once you have started, and until Stripe reports that your account can take payments, the “Payouts” box shows “Finish setup”. Press it to return to Stripe's form. Stripe's pages say the form knows what is still outstanding, so it asks for what is left.

Only an admin or owner of your organization can connect Stripe. If a question on the form is unclear, Stripe is the one to ask, because the form is theirs.

Your organization has its own Stripe account, with its own Stripe dashboard. Ticket money goes into that account, and Stripe pays it out to your bank on its own schedule.
