Getting set up with Stripe
Stripe handles all payment processing on SHWDWN. You need to complete Stripe's identity verification (KYC) before you can publish events or receive payouts. This can be done on mobile or web.
Required: You cannot publish an event until Stripe setup is complete. You can create events, add tickets, and build your fight card — but publishing is blocked until Stripe is connected.
How to connect Stripe
- Go to your promotion page from the dashboard (tap your promotion name, or go to Promotions in the sidebar).
- You'll see a banner at the top: "Connect your Stripe account to accept paid tickets". Click Connect Stripe.
- You'll be redirected to Stripe's hosted onboarding flow. This is where you verify your identity and provide business details.
- Complete the Stripe form. You'll need:
- Your legal name and date of birth
- Your address
- A form of ID (passport, driving licence, etc.)
- Your bank account details for payouts
- Once complete, you're redirected back to SHWDWN. Your Stripe status will show as connected and you can publish events.
If your setup is incomplete
If you exit the Stripe flow before finishing, the banner will change to say "Your Stripe account setup is incomplete" with a link to pick up where you left off. Stripe saves your progress, so you won't need to start over.
Accessing your Stripe dashboard
Once connected, you can access your Stripe Express dashboard directly from the promotion page. This lets you view transaction history, manage bank details, and check payout status outside of SHWDWN.
