Set up payouts with Stripe

Payouts run through Stripe Connect — BirdDog never sees or stores your bank details. You connect once, and from then on funds deposit straight to your bank when a booking is confirmed. The same connected account also receives land-lease payouts.

Where to start setup

1. •Onboarding — the "Getting paid" step ("Bookings are request-based — you approve each trip. Connect your bank once and funds deposit straight to your account when a booking is confirmed.").
2. •Today checklist — the Connect payouts task opens the setup dialog right on the Today page.
3. •Earnings page — until you're connected, Earnings leads with an Add a payout method card: "In order to get paid, you'll need to let us know where to send your money." Tap Set up payouts.
4. •A booking request — if a request arrives before you're connected, the approve button reads Connect payouts to approve and opens the same dialog.

The setup

1. 1Read the Set up payouts dialog — "When a hunter books, funds deposit straight to your bank account." — then tap Set up with Stripe (it reads "Opening Stripe…" while it connects).
2. 2On Stripe's secure page, enter your bank account and tax info — about five minutes. Stripe handles the whole thing; we never see your bank details.
3. 3Finish and you return to where you started. In onboarding, the step flips to the Payouts connected card — "Your bank is linked" — with a Manage in Stripe link to your Stripe dashboard.
