PetPro Connect is transitioning from Stripe Connect Standard to Stripe Express for payments. With the upgrade to Stripe Express, you’ll be able to take full advantage of exciting new features that are coming to PetPro Connect in 2021 and beyond (more to come on that in the next few weeks!).
You will need to complete the Stripe Express account activation process by February 25th to continue using PetPro Connect to collect payments for telemedicine services.
Updating your Stripe account is easy and should only take a few minutes. You simply need to do the following:
- Validate that the information brought over from your Stripe Connect Standard account appears correctly in Stripe Express
- Re-enter your bank or debit account information
- Activate your Stripe Express account
Getting Started
To begin the Stripe Express activation process, go to “My Settings,” select “Payments” and click on “Activate Stripe Express.”
Verifying your Stripe account information
We have already done the heavy lifting of moving your data from Stripe Connect Standard to Stripe Express. We just need you to confirm that everything looks right. Specifically, you’ll need to validate the following:
- Mobile Number
- Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- Industry
- Business Website
Entering your bank account information
Due to the sensitive nature of financial data, your bank/debit account information was not migrated over from Stripe Connect Standard to Stripe Express and will need to be re-entered. To do so, select the account type you wish to associate with your Stripe account (bank account or debit card), enter the necessary account information and click “done” once complete.
