Money

Connect Stripe and get paid

Money goes from the family to your own Stripe account. Here's how to connect it.

Whose account the money lands in

Yours. You connect your own Stripe account and customer payments settle into it directly; Sitterz takes a platform fee per transaction, which you authorise explicitly before connecting and which is recorded with the date and who agreed to it.

Connecting

Settings → Customer payments (Stripe) → Connect. Stripe collects your business and bank details on their own hosted pages; Sitterz never sees or stores them. When Stripe says the account can take charges, the setup step ticks — not before, because an account that still owes Stripe paperwork cannot actually be paid into.

If you don't connect yet

Everything else works. You can take bookings and keep records; you just cannot charge a card through Sitterz until Stripe is connected, and the payment surfaces say so rather than pretending.
