Connect Stripe and enable purchases on my site
Your artworks have a price, but nobody can pay for them by card yet. Connect a Stripe account, once and for all, then enable purchases on your site: the “Acquire” button appears on every artwork for sale, and the money lands in your bank account.
Before you start
- Your Pro subscription is active.
- An identity document and the IBAN of the account you want to be paid on: Stripe asks for them. Allow 5 to 10 minutes.
- For purchases on your site: your Pro Site is online, its delivery is set up (studio pickup, or at least one shipping rate) and your e-mail address is verified.
Screen 1 · Sales
In the menu, open Sales, then the Payment links tab. On the Stripe not configured banner, click Connect Stripe. On a phone, the tab is the bank card icon, the third one.
Screen 2 · Online payments
Click Connect with Stripe. You move to Stripe's website, which guides you: your identity, your activity, then the IBAN of the account the money will be paid to. MycreArt never sees your banking details.
At the end, Stripe brings you back to this page. It shows Account active, with Payments enabled and Payouts enabled: your account is connected. If it shows Verification in progress, Stripe is still checking your documents: come back a little later and click Refresh.
Screen 3 · Pro Site
In the menu, open Pro Site, then the Sales card.
Screen 4 · Sales
In Terms of sale, read the template through and adapt it to your situation: you are the seller. At the very bottom of the block, tick I confirm that I have reviewed and validated these terms of sale and accept responsibility for them.
At the very bottom of the block, the box to tick:
Under Online payment, read Before selling online, tick I have reviewed this information about online sales, then turn on the Direct purchase switch.
At the bottom of the page, click Save.
If saving is refused, the page says what is missing: terms of sale to validate, or a delivery method to set up.
Done
The Direct purchase row shows Active: visitors can buy online. On your site, every artwork for sale with a price now carries the Acquire — secure payment button. The buyer pays by card on a secure Stripe page: the artwork becomes Sold, the sale is recorded on its own in Sales and you are notified by e-mail. Stripe then pays the money into your bank account.
What your visitor sees, on the page of an artwork for sale:
What if…
Stripe still needs something?
The Online payments page says so: Verification in progress or Account restricted. Click Access my Stripe dashboard: Stripe tells you which information or document is missing. Once provided, come back to the page and click Refresh.
You left Stripe before the end?
Nothing is lost. The Online payments page shows Setup in progress: click Resume configuration, Stripe picks up where you stopped.
The switch stays gray?
The reason is written right next to it. Connect Stripe to enable it: the Stripe account is not active yet, go back to step 1. Verify your email to enable it: click Resend email, then the link received by e-mail.
No buy button on your site?
Stop after step 3. The Stripe account is enough for two other tasks: Get paid by card with a link or a QR code and Send a sale proposal, paid by card. The Direct purchase switch can be turned on and off whenever you like.
What are the fees?
Stripe charges successful payments according to its current pricing. The amount depends on the card type and the buyer's country. There is 0% MycreArt commission.
When do I get paid?
Payouts are handled by Stripe. Allow about 7 days for the first payout, then a few business days depending on your Stripe account and bank.
