## 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.
