The LOKE platform is integrated with Stripe, a payment gateway. It is essential that you setup a Stripe account in order to process your transactions and ensure that you receive payments.
This article will take you through, step-by-step on how to set-up your strip account.
NOTE: If you have multiple Franchisees that you manage then you will need to repeat the process for each individual store using the unique email address created for each one.
Getting started
Before you start you will need to ensure that you have the following to hand
- Your store email address set-up by Head Office e.g. storewi111@jetspizza.com
- Your cell phone to set up 2-factor authentication to link to the Stripe Account.
- Bank details of where you want the payouts to go
- Your Employer Identification Number (EID) and or your Social Security Number
