    How to activate online booking with Stripe in Dumpster Controls

    Online payments require a connected Stripe payout account. Until it is approved, the Online Booking switch is locked and your Booking URL is not shown.

    Before you start

    • An admin account
    • Your business details for Stripe onboarding (legal name, bank account, EIN or SSN)
    1. 1

      Look for the Stripe warning

      On the Booking Page, if payments are not set up you will see: "Connect your payout account to activate online orders and payment links." with a "Connect Stripe" button. The status card also reads "Complete your Stripe payment setup to activate online booking and start accepting orders."

    2. 2

      Start the activation flow

      Clicking the locked "Online Booking" switch opens the "Activate Online Booking" dialog: "To receive online orders and payments, you need to connect your payout account. It takes just a few minutes." It lists the benefits: "Get paid automatically", "Receive online orders 24/7", and "Secure payments via Stripe".

    3. 3

      Connect Stripe

      Click "Connect Stripe and Become a Seller". You are taken to your Account page's Stripe tab to complete Stripe onboarding. The dialog notes: "Once approved, you can turn Online Booking ON anytime."

    4. 4

      Turn the switch on

      After Stripe approves your account, return to the Booking Page and flip the "Online Booking" switch. A toast confirms "Online Booking is LIVE".

    What happens next

    • Your "Booking URL" and "Junk Checkout" links now appear in the hero card, ready to share.

    Troubleshooting

    I connected Stripe but the switch is still locked.

    Stripe may still be reviewing your account, or charges are not enabled yet. If the page shows "Unable to verify payments status. Try again.", reload the page. Check the Stripe tab in your Account page for pending requirements.
