Sherpo routes all paid transactions through Stripe Connect, ensuring secure processing, instant compliance, and automated payouts. Every organization must link a Stripe account before publishing paid products. The Payments area in Sherpo Dash guides you through setup, highlights compliance alerts, and embeds Stripe dashboards for payouts and taxes. All in one place. This guide explains how to setup Stripe Connect and manage Payments from the Dashboard. If you are looking for a guide about how checkout works for customers, check out this:

Checkout

Built-in Stripe checkout with multiple payment methods, including BNPL.

​
Payments page

To open the Payments page:
  • Sign in to Sherpo Dash.
  • Click your profile icon in the top-left corner.
  • From the sidebar, select Payments.
Payments page from Sherpo's dashboard
Use the green sub-navigation to switch between Account, Balance & Payouts, and Registrations. A banner at the top shows whether Stripe is fully connected or if onboarding steps are still pending.
You cannot publish paid products until your Stripe account is connected and verified.

​
Set up or manage Stripe Connect

​
Create a new account

Click Set up Stripe Connect, choose your country of registration, and complete Stripe’s hosted onboarding form. Sherpo will automatically create a platform account for you.
You cannot change the country later, so choose carefully before continuing.

​
Resume onboarding

If Stripe still requires additional information (e.g., ID verification or business address), you’ll see Update Stripe Connect. Click it to resume the onboarding flow. Once verified, the alert at the top of the page will disappear.

​
Manage an existing account

After onboarding, you can reopen the Update Stripe Connect flow anytime to update:
  • Bank details
  • Business information
  • Contact person

​
Track balances and payouts

Switch to Balance & Payouts to view your live Stripe balance directly within Sherpo. You can:
  • Check available and pending balances.
  • Inspect historical and future payouts.
  • Drill into individual payout details without leaving Sherpo’s Dashboard.
  • Export payout data for accounting.
  • Request an instant payout (if supported by your bank).
Payout page from inside Sherpo's dashboard
Stripe payouts operate on a 7-day rolling schedule by default.
If you need to pause payouts or update banking details, return to the Account tab and relaunch the Update Stripe Connect flow.

​
Monitor Stripe notifications

The Organization notifications banner automatically surfaces real-time updates from Stripe, including:
  • Missing documents
  • Payout delays
  • Compliance actions required
Resolve the tasks directly in Stripe to clear the alerts. Sherpo hides the banner once Stripe confirms that no further action is needed.

​
Review compliance documents

The Documents card embeds Stripe’s Connect Documents view, allowing you to download:
  • Service agreements
  • Onboarding confirmations
  • Compliance files
This section appears automatically after you connect Stripe.

​
Manage tax registrations (optional)

The Registrations tab integrates with Stripe Tax, letting you:
  • Enable Stripe Tax on your account.
  • Add or edit tax registrations by country.
  • Monitor tax thresholds before registration becomes required.
Sherpo does not file or remit taxes on your behalf. You’re responsible for any returns and payments due to tax authorities.
