Set up your organization profile and connect Stripe so you can get paid.
# Account Setup & Connecting Stripe Before you can collect money you need an organization profile and a connected Stripe account. ## 1. Complete your organization profile Open **Settings → Organization**. Add your organization name, logo, support email, and timezone. This information appears on your public event pages, emailed confirmations, and PDF tickets. ## 2. Connect Stripe TicketCobra uses **Stripe Connect** so funds flow straight into your own Stripe account. 1. Go to **Settings → Payments / Stripe**. 2. Click **Connect Stripe**. 3. Complete Stripe's onboarding (business details, bank account, identity). 4. Return to TicketCobra — the status should read **Active**. Until Stripe shows **Active** you can build events but cannot sell paid tickets. ## 3. Choose payment methods Your fee configuration controls which payment methods buyers see. Enable any of credit, debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle in [Fees & Payments](#/help/fees-and-splits-overview). ## Next - [Create your first event](#/help/create-your-first-event) - [Manage your team](#/help/team-and-roles) - [Configure payouts](#/help/payouts-overview)
