A preference is not a connected account

Choosing Bank account or Debit card when joining saves a preference. Financial information is collected separately by Stripe, not by the sales team.

Accept the invitation

A clear company invitation, payout preference and explicit SMS consent.

Keep in mind

The illustrated Stripe screen is not an exact copy of every hosted flow. Requirements and eligible destinations vary. This is test setup; do not enter real financial information into a test flow.

03

Know the current boundary

Stripe payouts in Proofly currently say Test environment · Live transfers locked. A connected test account is not live bank/card activation, and not every debit card qualifies for instant payouts.
