How do I connect Stripe to collect payments?
Link a Stripe account in Payment settings so you can charge signers by card.
Before you can collect any money on a document, you need to connect a Stripe account. Payments go straight into your own Stripe account — BunnyDoc only records them and never holds your funds.
Connect your account
- Open Settings and go to Payment settings.
- Choose how to link Stripe: Connect an existing account if you already use Stripe, or Create a new account to set one up.
- Follow the Stripe onboarding steps to finish linking. When you return, the status updates automatically.
Connection status
Payment settings shows the current state of your link — Connected, Action required, Onboarding incomplete, Disconnected, or Not connected. Use Refresh status if it looks out of date, or Continue Stripe setup to finish an incomplete connection.
Manage the connection
- Continue Stripe setup — resume onboarding if Stripe still needs more details from you.
- Refresh status — re-check the connection against Stripe.
- Disconnect — unlink the account when you no longer want to collect payments.
Watch for payout warnings
If Stripe still needs information before it can pay you out, Payment settings shows a payouts warning. Complete the outstanding Stripe steps so collected funds can reach your bank account.
Once Stripe shows Connected, you're ready to add a payment to a document. See Add a payment to a document.
