When this option is enabled, candidates can follow a secure Stripe onboarding flow, enter their banking information, and complete their payment verification. All Stripe accounts are considered a type of business account. The first question Stripe will ask when creating your account is **“What type of business are you?”** For this question, you will want to select **“Individual”** as the business type and **“Sole Proprietorship”** as the ownership type. It is generally easier to consider yourself as a business of one. Let’s get started 🚀 **Step 1**: Log in to your Engine hire account, and click the **My Jobs** option from the top navigation bar. This section is where you see confirmed job details. The button text may vary. ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/gundefined/QJFUxXncuSonOJE46enPGnNC6G5upPpNkmUEJVs9x1onCi295buDIXPIVUgE9hnPlgIkGHKB91q.png) **Step 2**: Click the **Connect with Stripe** button as shown in the screenshot below.  ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/FcMgh6wd74P4Oiks1eoHgmBDmd32m5yi9Int20BjhDRovUVm5mIoXP9o1eWbTKS8slrMkVCQI70.png) **Step 3**: Begin by entering the Email address as required.

This is the account Stripe will use to send your funds. **Step 6**: **Add Details for Customers**: This section is important, and you will need to gather details from the company you work for or work with. - **Statement Descriptor:** Enter your company’s name. - **Shortened Descriptor:** Enter your title (for example: Caregiver, Dentist, Driver, etc.). - **Customer Support Phone Number:** Enter your company’s phone number (do **not** use your personal number). - **Customer Support Address:** Enter your company’s address (do **not** use your personal address). ![](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/HqbikI3JeTYzcIWXeU101NNGPlDH0Z2WIYD9j7cJ9jotragLBBQyhugXsmhcMBAjF4w7xKMOeAM.png)   **Step 7**: Review the details, and then click on **Agree and Submit** button to proceed.
