Would you like an alternative connect workflow using Stripe Connect Express?

This article is going to provide you with a quick step by step guide to set up the payment processing for Stripe Connect Express. Below are the steps to use Stripe Connect Express with Atlas.

Step 1. Create your Stripe Connect account.

Log into Stripe or create a new account by going to Stripe.com and click on the link in the top right corner to either sign in, create new account, or go to your dashboard. Be sure to sign up for a Stripe account and follow the steps to create a Stripe connect account. To create the connect account, you will need to be signed into the Stripe dashboard and click on the connect tab in the left menu and follow the steps. Be sure to add the appropriate information to ensure that Stripe will approve your account.

Step 2. Enable the toggles and add the Stripe keys.

Once you have signed up for a Stripe connect account, you will need to make sure that you have enabled the correct toggles in both the Stripe dashboard, and the admin dashboard on Atlas.

First, log in as an admin in your Thrinacia website. Go to the admin dashboard –> Portal Settings –> Payment Settings, and make sure you have enabled the following toggles.

Once you have enabled the toggles, you can go into your Stripe account and copy/paste the following keys from Stripe into your payment settings.

  • First, grab the publishable key and secret key from Stripe. To do this, log into Stripe, then click on the Developers text at the top of the page (on the right side), then click on the API keys suboption.

Now that the correct payment settings are configured, you can test the workflow by creating test campaigns. When you arrive at the funding step during campaign creation, you will see that the process looks as follows when you click on the Stripe button:
