Connecting Stripe during onboarding

Connecting Stripe lets your chamber accept card payments through Chamberly's checkout. We use Stripe Connect, which means funds go directly into your Stripe account and Stripe handles all card data — Chamberly never stores it.

• Have your chamber's EIN or tax ID handy

• Have a business bank account ready for payouts

• Have a phone number for Stripe's two-factor verification

• You can skip this step entirely if you only plan to use reservation mode

1. On the Stripe step of the onboarding wizard, click Connect Stripe

2. Sign in with an existing Stripe account or create a new one

3. Enter your business details: legal name, EIN, address, and bank info

4. Verify your identity with the requested documents

5. Approve the redirect back to Chamberly

6. Confirm you see a green Stripe connected badge in Settings > Payment

• Use your chamber's legal name on the Stripe account so payouts match your bank records

• Complete identity verification right away — Stripe holds payouts until you do

• Save your Stripe login somewhere safe — you will need it for refunds and disputes

• If your chamber has multiple bank accounts, pick the one your finance team checks most often

Can I skip Stripe and connect later?
Yes. Click Skip for now on the Stripe step. You will land in reservation payment mode and can connect Stripe anytime from Settings > Payment.

What fees does Stripe charge?
Standard Stripe processing fees apply (typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Chamberly does not add any markup.

What if my chamber already has a Stripe account?
You can connect that existing account during the wizard — just sign in instead of creating a new one.

Does Stripe support ACH or bank transfers?
Stripe supports ACH for U.S. accounts. Enable it from your Stripe dashboard after connecting.
