Setting up Your Stripe Integration
Before you can begin using our integration with Stripe to process credit card payments through Power Diary you will need to connect Power Diary to a Stripe account. Stripe accounts are free to set up (you are only billed on a per-transaction basis) so it's worth doing, even if just as a backup payment method. If you don't already have a Stripe account you'll be able to quickly create one as part of the integration process.
