If you plan on lending gear on GeerGarage, it's important to have your Stripe account set up so that we can deposit your earnings into your bank account. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up your account with Stripe:

Step 1: Navigate to the Account > Payments & payouts page.

Step 2: On this page, you should see a notification informing you that you need to set up your Stripe account. Click on the button on this page to set up Stripe.

Step 3: After clicking to set up your account, you will be taken to Stripe's website. Stripe will guide you through the process of setting up your account with them. You will need to provide some personal information and bank account details so that you can receive payouts.

Note that while you can lend your gear on GeerGarage before configuring your account with Stripe, you will not be able to receive your rental earnings until you complete the account setup process. Therefore, it's important to set up your Stripe account as soon as possible.

Once your account is set up, you can track your earnings through Stripe's dashboard. This dashboard allows you to keep an eye on your earnings and pending payouts.

To access Stripe's dashboard, you can either go through the Account > Payments & payouts page on GeerGarage or through Stripe's Express app on your phone.

Setting up a Stripe account is required if you plan on lending gear on GeerGarage. By following the simple steps outlined above, you can ensure that you receive your earnings in a timely manner.
