This guide walks you through the essential setup steps so you can list products, fulfill orders, and receive payouts without delays. 

Step 1: Complete Your Profile 
Dashboard → My Account → Edit Profile 

<ul><li>Your profile helps customers trust your store and allows Brakebee to support you effectively.</li>
<li>Complete as much information as possible</li>
<li>Add a clear profile photo or logo</li>
<li>Verify your contact and business details</li>
<li>A complete profile improves visibility and reduces setup issues later.</li></ul> 

Step 2: Set Up Your Shipping Settings 
Dashboard → My Account → Shipping Settings

<li>From your payment settings page: </li>
<li>Click to create a new Stripe account</li>
<li>You will be redirected to Stripe’s servers to complete setup</li></ul> 

All financial transactions are processed and stored only on Stripe’s servers, using global banking security standards.
Brakebee never stores or processes your financial data. 

Stripe Connect acts as a merchant account that:
<ul><li>Receives funds only from Brakebee</li>

Once setup is complete, your payment connection will show as active on the payment settings page.

Step 5: Create Coupons & Promotions
Dashboard → Manage My Store → Promotions
This section contains two tabs:
