# Stripe Connect

> Link your Stripe account to Bizzy to sync customers and payments

Stripe Connect is the OAuth handshake that lets Bizzy read customer data from
your Stripe account. Once linked, your Stripe customers appear in the
[Customers](/user-guide/customers/index) section.

## Prerequisites

* An existing Stripe account. If you don't have one, create it at
  [stripe.com](https://stripe.com).
* Owner or Admin role in Bizzy — the Stripe Connect card is visible to everyone,
  but connecting runs under Owner/Admin authority.

## Connecting

1. Scroll to the **Stripe Connect** card on the Business page.
2. Click **Connect Stripe**. A Stripe-hosted page opens in a new tab.
3. Log in to Stripe and confirm the connection.
4. Stripe redirects you back to Bizzy. The card now shows your Stripe account as
   linked.

Every customer sync and billing action is scoped to the connected Stripe
account.

## What Connect enables

* **Customer sync.** Stripe customers flow into Bizzy
  [Customers](/user-guide/customers/index).
* **Account metadata.** Stripe's payout currency, country, and other profile
  fields become visible.

## What Connect does *not* do

* **Bizzy's billing.** Your Bizzy subscription is unaffected by the Connect
  link. You still pay Bizzy separately — see
  [Admin Guide → Billing](/admin-guide/billing/index).
* **Write to Stripe.** Today, sync is read-only from Stripe → Bizzy. There is no
  "create customer in Stripe from Bizzy" flow.

## Disconnecting

Revoke the connection from your Stripe dashboard (Settings → Connected
Accounts). When you revoke, Bizzy loses read access; existing synced customer
records remain in your Customers list but no longer update.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                          | Likely cause                         | Fix                                            |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| OAuth popup blocked              | Browser blocker                      | Allow popups from Bizzy and retry              |
| "Connection failed" after Stripe | Stripe account requires verification | Complete Stripe onboarding, then retry         |
| Customers don't appear           | Sync in progress                     | Wait a few minutes; initial sync can take time |
