## Overview

Integrating with Stripe allows you to collect payments through **credit card** or **ACH** via Stripe's API.

Once the connection is established, Salesbricks will create a "Connected account" under your parent Stripe account. This is the only account that Salesbricks will have access to manage within Stripe.

<Warning>
  <b>Important:</b> The Stripe integration does not link directly to your existing Stripe account. You will be required to set up a <b>new Connected (shared) account</b> — this allows Salesbricks to help manage your transactions on our platform without granting us access to your primary account.
</Warning>

Salesbricks leverages Stripe solely to collect payment. It does not use Stripe's subscription or invoicing functionalities. When a credit card or ACH payment needs to be processed, Salesbricks handles all of the logic around subscription, billing frequency, and payment terms, and creates a Customer object within Stripe only.

## Troubleshooting

This section contains scenarios you may encounter when connecting your Stripe account to Salesbricks.

### Integration setup

#### You have a saved business in Stripe but it is not appearing as a selectable option.

**Cause**: If you have a business created in Stripe, but do not see it listed as a selectable option, you likely do not have administrative permissions within Stripe to perform the integration for that account.

**Solution**: Ask the admin/owner of your Stripe business account to add administrative permissions to your user.
