Stripe Overview
Stripe works like Paypal - it’s an online account where payments are sent to your nominated bank account daily, weekly monthly and on-demand.
You can use this to easily send payments to other Stripe account holders too and for purposes other than on Totally Locally.
<aside> ❗ Note: until you link Stripe with your account, a message will be shown when customers add your products to their basket (specifying that you haven't linked a payment method yet) so it’s best to do this step before adding any products to your shop.

Customers simply enter their business and bank details, then payments are sent to your Stripe account.
