Upgrade to Pro and start Stripe payouts onboarding
Move from a free creator profile to a payout-ready setup so you can publish monetized offers and receive funds.
This walkthrough shows the app-controlled setup up to the point where Stripe takes over the regulated onboarding flow.
What this walkthrough covers
What this feature does
This walkthrough moves your account from profile setup into monetization setup.
It covers two distinct transitions:
- your account upgrades into the paid creator feature set,
- your payout configuration moves toward Stripe-backed readiness.
Why people use it
Creators use this when they want to stop treating GetPaidX as a public profile only and start using it as a paid offer surface.
What to expect
The in-app steps are stable and guided. The external Stripe flow is intentionally outside the scope of this page because that part is hosted by Stripe and can vary.
Step-by-step
How the flow works
Step 1
Review your current plan status
Goal: Confirm whether you are still on the free plan before you attempt paid setup.
Why it matters: This prevents confusion later when pricing or payouts appear unavailable.
Route: /settings/subscription
The walkthrough starts by showing the exact pre-upgrade state so the entitlement change is visible.
Step 2
Upgrade to Pro
Goal: Enable the paid creator features required for monetized offers.
Why it matters: GetPaidX keeps monetization behind a clear subscription boundary so the feature set is predictable.
Route: /settings/subscription
This step shows the in-app state after Pro is active, before handing off to payout setup.
Step 3
Open payouts and start the Stripe handoff
Goal: Choose your payout region and hand off into Stripe’s hosted onboarding flow.
Why it matters: This is the bridge between the app’s monetization settings and Stripe’s regulated payout verification.
Route: /settings/payouts
The payout page is captured at the app-controlled handoff before the external Stripe-hosted flow starts.
- The Stripe-hosted portion varies by account state and country, so this walkthrough covers the app-side steps up to the handoff.
Common questions
What people usually ask
Why is this walkthrough marked partial?
Because the app-controlled portion is stable, but the Stripe-hosted screens can differ depending on geography, test mode, and prior Stripe state.
Can I turn on pricing before finishing Stripe?
You can reach pricing-related screens, but a payout-ready Stripe setup is what makes the monetized flow behave as intended.
Will this charge me immediately?
The exact billing behavior depends on your subscription state and environment, but the main point of this walkthrough is the product sequence and payout readiness.
