Create a Stripe Connect account to Integrate with Bottlecapps


NOTE - In the past, when a store using Stripe modified an order, we refund the original authorization and we
authorize and capture the funds with the new order total. In some cases, if the original authorization was more
than a week old, it was getting captured.. Now, we keep the original authorization as-is, and we only authorize
the difference between the original authorization and the new order total

When the modified order is smaller, we keep the original authorization and do a partial refund for the difference.


1. Navigate to https://dashboard.stripe.com/dashboard


2. Then click “Connected Accounts” on the left and then click “Create” in the upper right ...

3. Select “Standard” and then “Continue” 

4. Copy the link to the Clipboard. This then can be sent to the store to complete. If the store already has Stripe, the same process applies. Create the link and send to the customer. 

5. When the store clicks the link, it takes them to this page. If they already have Stripe, they click the top box (circled in green). If they do not have Stripe already, they click the second box (circled in yellow) ... 

6. Once the store has finished step 5, it will automatically populate in the “Connected Accounts” page of the dashboard ...

7. Click the store you are setting up and it takes you to this page. Select “Copy ID” in the upper right ... 

8. Then, open the Admin Panel for that store and scroll to “Payment Method.” Select “Stripe” and then paste the ID in the first box. In the second box, put 0.02. When done, be sure to click SAVE at the top. 

Tip: If you're setting up a chain of stores, you'll want to send individual emails for each location with the store location designated in the subject line.
