Connecting Your Stripe Account
Connecting your Stripe account is required to use Collect for Stripe. Whether you're a solo operator or part of a team, you'll need to connect your Stripe account at some point in the setup process.
Two options to Get Started
1. Quick Start: Direct Stripe Connection
This is the fastest way to get started. The Quick Start method combines both account connection and sign-in into a single step, but does not include access to the web dashboard.

2. Collect Account (Recommended)
Why do we recommend this?
Haivng a Collect Account (even as a solo operator) gives you access to the web dashboard, including deep information about users, products, app versions, users, outstanding Stripe account requirements, and more.
If you have multiple Stripe accounts, a Collect Account is highly recommended.
It will be much easier to switch between accounts and manage everything seamlessly. Collect supports this to avoid constantly signing out and back in just to switch accounts.

Security & Permissions
Your Stripe account credentials are never stored by Collect. All authentication is handled securely through Stripe's OAuth system.
Collect only requests the minimum permissions and data needed to function, and never stores your Stripe data.
