# Link your own Stripe account

Key points

By default, card payments through Stripe go through a Stripe account managed by Ciklik. You can instead link your company’s Stripe account with the **Link My Stripe Account** action on your site’s page. Stripe then becomes your site’s card; your current subscribers keep being charged as they are today.

## Link the account

1. Go to **Settings > Sites** and open your site’s details.

2. Run the **Link My Stripe Account** action, then click **Continue to Stripe**.

3. Sign in with your shop’s Stripe account and authorize Ciklik.

4. Back on Ciklik, a page sums up what is active and what is left to do.

## What changes

- Stripe processes card payments from new subscribers and new orders, and becomes your site’s card: a site offers only one card at a time (see [Subscribers’ payment methods](https://www.ciklik.academy/en/paiements/moyens-de-paiement-des-abonnes/)). The configuration of another card provider stays in place. PayPal and GoCardless direct debit remain offered.
- Your current subscribers keep being charged as they are today. If the charge of a subscriber whose card is saved with another provider fails, they receive the failed payment email with a link to pay for their order: the card they then enter is saved on Stripe for the following charges.
- On a PrestaShop store, the Ciklik module offers card payment through Stripe, with no setting to change.

What may be left to do, according to the return page:

- finish activating the account in your Stripe dashboard, if Stripe does not accept payments yet;
- complete your bank details in your Stripe dashboard, if payouts are not enabled yet;
- enable the failed payment email template in **Content > Email Templates**, if it is disabled: it is the one that sends your subscribers the link to pay for their order.

> Caution
>
> The link is refused if customers of your site have already saved their card through another Stripe account: changing accounts would prevent charging them. Nothing is changed; contact Ciklik support.

With your own Stripe account, payouts to your bank follow the schedule set in your Stripe dashboard, and disputes are handled there too.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I collect payments on my own Stripe account?

Yes. In Settings > Sites, open your site's details and run the Link My Stripe Account action. The link is refused if customers of your site have already saved their card through another Stripe account.

### Are my current subscribers affected by the link?

No, they keep being charged as before. If a charge fails, the card the subscriber enters with the payment link is saved on Stripe.
