# Stripe integration

Stripe is supported natively by Loopit and can be connected to accept a range of payment methods.  To see which methods are available please check the [overview here](/billing/payments/overview.md).

## Set up

Follow these three steps to connect an account you already have or create a new one:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Navigate to 'Settings'

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select 'Gateways'

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Locate the Stripe gateway, click the 3 dots menu and select "Setup"

You will be redirected to Stripe to complete the connection process

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Once the connection has been made and verified by Stripe the status will change to **Complete**.  If the process failed to complete or was stopped midway the status will be **Pending**.  To resume setting up follow the steps above.

## Stripe documentation

Stripe has [detailed guides](https://support.stripe.com/questions/getting-started-with-stripe-create-or-connect-an-account) on the Stripe Connect process and getting started with their platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are creating a new account Stripe may need further information and verification can take a bit longer.  Stripe will confirm directly with you what information is required.
{% endhint %}
