How can I set up Stripe payments?

🏁 Creating a Stripe Account

Go to the Payments page: https://app.minup.io/admin/payments
Select the Online payment settings option.
From the list of payment providers, choose Stripe.
Set up a password for your account.
Set up Two-factor authentication (2FA).
Provide the required information about your business.
Upload a valid photo ID for identity verification.
Upload your company registration document.
Verify your identity with a selfie.
Verify your email.
That’s it! Your clients can now pay you online by card.

Stripe Climate and Stripe Tax are not mandatory. If you don't want to use them, you can click on "No thanks" to continue.

Important: While the registration guide covers all main steps, Stripe may request additional information about your business at the end of the process. After completing your registration, it's a good idea to check the Payments menu again to see if anything is missing that could delay payouts.

🧠 Stripe Setup Guide

Business type:

If you're a sole proprietor, choose: "Limited liability sole trader (Ec) / Sole proprietor / Private individual with tax ID"
If you have a registered company choose: "Company / Registered partnership"
If you're registering as a nonprofit, choose: "Nonprofit"

Tax ID: Only required for companies. If you’re a sole proprietor, you can leave this field blank.

Website: This field is auto-filled with your Minup booking page URL. If you have your own website, you can paste its link here instead.

Product Description: Briefly describe (in 2–3 sentences) what your business does.

IBAN: Stripe transfers your earnings to this bank account. Since Stripe is an international company, it only supports IBAN-format account numbers.

Statement Descriptor: This field is auto-filled with your business name but can be edited. It’s the name your clients will see on payment page, so use the name they recognize you by.

Customer Service Phone Number: If your business has a central phone number, enter it here. Otherwise, use your personal phone number that clients can reach you on.

Stripe Climate: Stripe Climate is an initiative allowing Stripe-powered businesses to automatically contribute a portion of their revenue to accelerate emerging, permanent carbon removal technologies. It's not mandatory. If you choose not to contribute, click "No thanks".

Stripe Tax:This service monitors your tax registration thresholds and tells you when, where, and how you need to start collecting VAT. It's not mandatory. If you choose not to use it, click "Not right now".

Balances: In the Balances tab, you can see how much money is currently in your Stripe account and how much of it is available for payout. Below that, you’ll find a list of all transactions made through your Minup booking page.

Payouts: In the Payouts tab, you can set how often Stripe should send your money to your bank account. Click the "Update" button to choose the frequency. You’ll also find a list of all your previous payouts here.

Requesting Deposits: If you’d like to require a deposit when clients book an appointment, follow these steps:

Go to Payments / Settings.
Click on Payment settings.
Select the Deposit option.
Set the deposit percentage.
Save the changes.

On-site Payments: If you want to offer on-site payments (by cash or card) and not make online payment mandatory during booking, here’s how to set it up:

Go to Payments / Settings.
Click on Payment settings.
Scroll down to the Additional payment methods section.
Enable the On-site payment: Cash or Card option.
Save the changes.
