Connect Stripe to Tapmy

What you’ll get

• A completed five-step Stripe connection runbook you can use in the next chapter.
• A documented decision about which Stripe account and payout destination to authorize.
• A pass or fail signal: you return to Tapmy with the intended account connected and its status clearly visible.
• A concrete first action: Open Tapmy payment settings, start the Stripe flow, complete every requested field, select the payout destination, and return to verify the status.

Step 1 — Open payment settings

Sign in to the correct Tapmy workspace. Open the store's settings and navigate to the payment or payout area. Confirm the store name before continuing if you manage more than one store.

Step 2 — Start the Stripe connection

Choose the Stripe connection action. If Stripe offers a choice between signing in and creating an account, sign in only when the displayed account belongs to the intended seller. Otherwise, create the right account during the guided flow.

Step 3 — Complete every requested field

Enter legal and business information accurately. Describe the product in words a customer would recognize—for example, “downloadable meal-planning templates” rather than “digital services.” Add a public support contact and a recognizable statement descriptor.

Step 4 — Select the payout destination

Review the bank or payout details character by character. A successfully saved form does not prove that the destination belongs to the intended seller.

Step 5 — Return to Tapmy and verify status

After Stripe returns you to Tapmy, look for a clear active or connected state. If the page says information is required, follow that prompt now. Do not treat “account created” as equivalent to “payments enabled.”

Apply this chapter to your store

Start with the evidence you already have: the current Tapmy setup, the exact customer path, the messages people see, and the records created after an action. Do not redesign the entire system while you are still trying to locate the constraint.

Implementation move: Open Tapmy payment settings, start the Stripe flow, complete every requested field, select the payout destination, and return to verify the status.

Write the decision beside the evidence that supports it. If a teammate cannot reproduce the conclusion from the same evidence, the work is not yet operational. The deliverable should be specific enough to hand to another person without a meeting.

Decision checkpoint

Common failure mode

Treating the redirect back to Tapmy as proof of success without reading the connection state. This hides the actual constraint and creates false confidence. Use the chapter output as a gate: do not move forward until the decision is explicit and the pass signal is visible.

20-minute implementation sprint

• Open the current Tapmy path and capture the starting state.
• Complete the smallest version of the five-step stripe connection runbook.
• Record the decision, owner, and next review date.
• Test the pass signal once from the customer’s point of view.
• Save the evidence where the person running the next chapter can find it.

Build the next step in Tapmy

Apply the decision while the evidence is fresh. Open Tapmy and update the relevant store, product, payment, or campaign path before continuing.
