Stripe onboarding guide

Use this when Stripe Express asks for business details, website information, or one more verification step you are not sure how to fill in.

Getting Paid

Use the simplest truthful path through onboarding.

Stripe hosts the payout flow. Some sections expand, collapse, or change based on your country, business type, and the information Stripe still needs. That is normal.

Fastest path

Follow these five steps in order to get through without detours.

  1. Start from CheckoutFirst so the return back to the platform is already configured.
  2. Choose the truthful business type that matches how you sell today.
  3. Use your real identity, address, and payout account details.
  4. Use your CheckoutFirst seller profile link or live listing link as your website.
  5. Stay on each page until Stripe confirms completion, even if it pauses for review.

What to enter for Website

When Stripe asks for a website or where you sell, use your CheckoutFirst seller profile link or a live product page.

What to enter for Product Description

Keep it plain and factual. Stripe is looking for what you sell, not polished marketing copy.

Where sellers usually get stuck

Stripe's flow adapts to your answers, so what you see may differ from what another seller describes.

  • Some questions are hidden behind toggles, disclosures, or alternate paths.
  • If Stripe offers a simpler option that truthfully matches your setup, use it.
  • You might not see the exact same fields another seller sees.
  • Review requests do not mean you failed. Finish the request and check status again.

Before you leave Stripe

Wait until verification is fully completeStripe occasionally needs additional information or one to two minutes to process your details in the background. Leaving early can interrupt verification before your account is approved.
  • Confirm the bank account is correct before leaving.
  • Complete every required section Stripe highlights.
  • Return to CheckoutFirst and confirm payout status changes from pending to connected.

Safe formulation foundations

Use this before handling fragrance materials or publishing perfume goods so your workflow stays safe, compliant, and resilient.

Safety and Compliance

Creative perfumery is strongest when safety is non-negotiable.

Treat every aromatic chemical, essential oil, and solvent as a concentrated material until your dilution, SDS notes, and handling plan prove otherwise.

Before you formulate

Set up your workspace before opening anything. Every session starts the same way.

  • Keep an SDS library in reach for every raw material and solvent you use.
  • Work in active ventilation and keep the blending area food-free and drink-free.
  • Use nitrile gloves, eye protection, and dedicated lab clothing.
  • Keep children and pets out of the formulation space at all times.
  • Keep fire-safe equipment nearby for flammable liquids and oil-based spills.

If exposure happens, respond immediately

Know the response before you need it. Bring the product label or SDS when speaking with clinicians so they can identify ingredients quickly.

Skin contactRemove contaminated items, wipe off excess material, then wash thoroughly with dishwashing liquid and copious water.
Eye contactFlush with clean lukewarm water continuously for at least 15 minutes and seek urgent medical care without delay.
IngestionRinse the mouth, do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical professionals, and seek emergency guidance immediately.

Studio habits that protect your brand

Good records and clean storage keep batches reproducible and complaints resolvable.

  • Label every bottle with material name, dilution, date, and lot where possible.
  • Store materials sealed, cool, and away from ignition sources.
  • Keep batch records so you can investigate reactions and improve formulas safely.
  • Never pour fragrance oils or solvents down the drain.

FDA framing for U.S. sellers

Understand how U.S. law categorises what you make before you publish it.

  • Fragrances used to make someone smell pleasant are generally regulated as cosmetics.
  • Cosmetics typically do not need FDA premarket approval, but the maker or seller remains responsible for product safety.
  • If a product is marketed with therapeutic claims, it can also be regulated as a drug.
  • Ingredient declarations typically allow fragrance blends to appear as "fragrance."
