How to set up Stripe on your Dirigible Website.
First things first, what is Stripe?
Stripe is Dirigible Studio’s preferred payment processor. It’s a great alternative to Paypal, Square, and other online payment methods for small businesses.
Let’s walk you through setting up your own Stripe account.
Before you start, you’ll need your:
Tax ID Number or SSN
Bank account information with routing number
We like Stripe because it’s
Easy To Use
It’s a snap for our clients, their customers and for our developers
Robust & Reliable
Stripe has a ton of features, is constantly improving and is extremely reliable.
Competitive Pricing
For many businesses, Stripe makes a lot of sense. For smaller volumes and those who are just starting out, the rates are very competitive.
Create your Stripe account
Start by navigating to the Stripe Signup Page, located at: https://dashboard.stripe.com/register
