How do I take payment for something I sell?

Your own Stripe account has to be joined to Replicants before anything you sell can charge a card. The money lands in your Stripe account, never ours.

Updated 15 September 2026

Connecting Stripe doesn't publish anything or charge anybody — it gives your pages permission to take a payment when you decide they should. The money arrives in your Stripe account rather than ours: we never hold it and never move it. Nothing here asks for your card number.

You need a Stripe account, or five minutes to make one Stripe is the company that actually takes the card payment. Sign in if you already use it. If not, the same flow makes you one and asks for your business details and where to pay out.

Open Settings and find Payments

Settings is the last row of the outer left-hand menu, and it opens a page of cards rather than a list. Payments is one of them.

Settings opens cards. Payments is the one you want.

Read the screen before connecting

Stripe reads Not connected. Each thing you sell runs in test or live mode. In test mode a made-up card goes through and nobody is charged; in live mode real money moves. That choice is on the item, not here.

Not connected, and a note about test money against real money.
Press Connect with Stripe

Stripe opens in a new tab and asks its own questions: your business, your bank details, who you are. Answer them and come back. This page turns to connected on its own. Pulled away halfway? Press the button again.

One button. The rest of the questions belong to Stripe.

You will know it worked when the Payments screen says connected, and a price on a page, course or community can take a real card.

I cannot find the screen I am looking for. How are the menus laid out?
