If you need to create a stripe account, the prompts in step 3 will help you create your account in under 10 minutes.

3. Sign in using your existing stripe Credentials. If you do not have a stripe account, follow the prompts from stripe to create your account. You’ll need some business information like Tax-ID and banking information. Creating a new stripe account should take about 5-10 minutes 

4. You will be redirected back to Qudio and will see a confirmation on your My Hostings page that Stripe is connected! You are now ready to start accepting payments.
