The first thing we need to do to be able to accept payments via Stripe is to
00:00:03–00:00:04
create a Stripe account.
00:00:04–00:00:08
Go to the Stripe website, and look for some sort of "start now" button.
00:00:08–00:00:12
Stripe does tend to update the marketing home page pretty frequently, so it
00:00:12–00:00:14
may look a little different from time of recording to now.
00:00:14–00:00:20
Enter the details that Stripe asks for to create an account. This is your email,
00:00:20–00:00:22
full name, country, and password.
00:00:22–00:00:26
Once you've entered these, click the blue "Create account" button.
00:00:28–00:00:31
Once you've completed the steps, you'll land on your Stripe dashboard.
00:00:31–00:00:35
This is an overview of your Stripe account and also where you'll create
00:00:35–00:00:37
products, view and manage subscriptions, and so on.
00:00:37–00:00:40
You'll notice in the top-left it it says "New Business".
00:00:40–00:00:44
We can change this, the name of our Stripe account, by clicking the cog icon.
00:00:44–00:00:49
And then going to account details underneath "Your Business".
00:00:49–00:00:54
Enter a new name for your account. I'm going to call it "Laraflix".
00:00:54–00:00:57
Click "Save".
00:00:58–00:01:01
And that'll update the name of your Stripe account.
