How to create your Stripe account

How to create your Stripe account

Stripe is the recommended option if your country is on its coverage list — it covers almost all of Europe, the United States, Canada, and in Latin America, for now, only Brazil and Mexico. You can confirm your exact country on the official Stripe list.

Step 1: Sign up

Go to dashboard.stripe.com/register (you can also do this directly from the "Don't have an account? Create one here" button in the Payment method module of your HUB). Fill in:

• Your email
• Your full name
• A password

Step 2: Activate your account

After signing up, Stripe will ask you to activate your account so you can charge in live mode (not just test mode). You'll need:

• Business details: legal name, country of operation, business type (individual or company)
• Tax details: your tax ID (NIF/RUT/EIN depending on your country)
• Bank details: the account Stripe will transfer your money to
• Identity verification: usually a valid ID document

Step 3: Get your API key

Once your account is activated:

1. Go to Developers → API keys in the Stripe menu
2. Copy the secret key (starts with sk_live_... in live mode, or sk_test_... in test mode)
3. Save it somewhere safe — you'll need it in the next step

With this, your Stripe account is ready. Now connect it to your 3LIT3 HUB — follow the "How to connect your Stripe account with your 3LIT3 HUB" guide.
