Everything that follows in this section applies when your charging mode (section 3) is **"Their Stripe (Connect)"**. With "Platform's Stripe" or "External", the wizard itself (`/partner/billing/connect`) already recognizes your mode if you go directly to that address — instead of the wizard, you see the same plain explanation from section 3: your Status permanently stays "Not started", with no effect on your customers or your billing. **"Charging customers"** is a piece distinct from the seat quota: it lets you charge **your own customers directly** from your own Stripe account (instead of the Platform billing them). Tap **"Manage customer charging"** on the Billing card, below the seat plans, to enter the wizard. It shows a **Status** — **"In progress"** while the sign-up with Stripe isn't finished — and Stripe Connect's real embedded wizard ("Add information to start accepting money…", with the **Add information** button). ## Procedure: completing Stripe Connect sign-up 1. Tap **Add information**. 2. **Stripe's real wizard** opens in a new tab (in test mode in a development environment), where you enter your business's and bank account's details so you can get paid. 3. Complete every step of the wizard through to the end. > **Note — "In progress"** > > While the Status stays , your customers can't pay you through this route yet. Complete Stripe's wizard > through to the end so the status changes and direct charging becomes operational.
