# Connecting Stripe

> Link your Stripe account so Drumtix can process payments and pay you out.

Drumtix uses [Stripe Connect](https://stripe.com/connect) to process card payments on your behalf and deposit revenue directly into your bank account. You must connect a Stripe account before you can publish a paid event.

## How to connect

1. Go to **Settings → Payments** in your dashboard
2. Click **Connect with Stripe**
3. You'll be redirected to Stripe to sign in or create an account
4. Grant Drumtix permission to process payments on your behalf
5. You'll be redirected back to Drumtix once connected

<Info>
  If you already have a Stripe account, sign in with your existing credentials. Drumtix does not create a new Stripe account on your behalf.

## Payout timing

Stripe typically pays out to your bank account on a **2-day rolling basis** after a charge is made. Your first payout may take 7–14 days while Stripe verifies your account.

Payout schedules can be configured directly in your [Stripe dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com).

## Fee structure

Drumtix charges a platform fee per ticket sold, on top of Stripe's standard processing fees. You can review the full fee breakdown under **Settings → Payments** or on the [pricing page](https://drumtix.com/pricing).

Fees are deducted automatically at the time of each transaction — you receive the net amount.

## Troubleshooting

**I don't see the Connect button** — Make sure you're signed in as the organisation Owner or Admin.

**Stripe says my account needs more information** — Log in to your Stripe dashboard and complete any outstanding verification steps Stripe requires.
