# Connect Stripe and accept payments

> Set up Stripe Connect to charge listing owners for premium plans.

Supadir uses **Stripe Connect** to handle payments between you (the catalog admin) and your listing owners. You set the prices, Stripe processes the cards, and the money lands in your Stripe account — minus Supadir's platform commission.

<Info>
  Paid listing plans are available on the **Professional plan (\$149/mo) and above**. On Starter, you can define plans but cannot activate payments.
</Info>

## How it works

1. You connect your Stripe account to Supadir
2. You create one or more listing plans with a price
3. Listing owners subscribe to a plan via Stripe Checkout
4. Money flows: owner's card → Stripe → your connected account → your bank
5. Supadir deducts its commission from each transaction (**7% on Professional, 4% on Business**)

You never touch payment details. Stripe handles card processing, invoices, receipts, and refunds.

<Tip>
  The commission covers all Stripe transaction fees — you don't pay Stripe separately on top. See [Why is there a platform commission?](/guides/why-commission) for a full breakdown of what's included.

## Connecting your Stripe account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings → Payments">
    In your admin panel, go to **Settings → Payments** and click **Connect Stripe account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete Stripe onboarding">
    You'll be redirected to Stripe to create or connect an account. This involves:

    * Entering your business details (name, country, tax ID)
    * Providing a bank account for payouts
    * Verifying your identity (required by financial regulations)

    This process takes 5–15 minutes. Stripe may ask for supporting documents depending on your country.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Supadir">
    After completing onboarding, Stripe redirects you back to your admin panel. Your connection status will show **Active** or **Restricted** (restricted means Stripe is still reviewing your details — you can test payments but payouts are held until review is complete).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  You must complete Stripe's full KYC (Know Your Customer) verification before you can receive real payouts. Don't skip any steps during onboarding — incomplete accounts result in restricted status.
</Warning>

## Viewing your Stripe dashboard

From **Settings → Payments**, click **Open Stripe dashboard** to access your full Stripe account — transactions, payouts, disputes, and customer data.

## Managing billing data

Your own billing data (the details that appear on Supadir's invoice to you for your platform subscription) can be managed through the **Stripe Customer Portal** — accessible from **Settings → Billing → Manage billing**.

## Next step: create listing plans

Once Stripe is connected, go to **Dashboard → Listing plans** to define the plans listing owners can subscribe to.
